andy, that's a havana newspaper, "the Havanan", the equivalent of "the new 
yorker"...you can spell 'the new yorker' as 'the neu yourker', but that 
doesn't make it correct...neither havana, habana or habanero have a 
tilde...but for some reason, some people seem to think that every 'n' in a 
spanish word should be replaced with an 'n-ye'...and i agree with you, 
andy...mispellings on a web page tend to diminish the effect...there are 
spanish spell-checkers, too...

my source?...ten years of speaking spanish in mexico...
