FEW sPANlARDs IN THIS COUNTRY.


CubAns Not Numerous, but They out
number the spsnisris Four To- On-.
There are. approximately, four times
as many Cubans a. there are Spaniards
IN the United States, counting a.
CIibans all those born in the West
Indian islands. of which Cuba is the
largest, aud counting as Spaniards
those born not merely in the Spanish
peninsula but in Spanish colonies gen
orally. The larger number of Span
iards IN this country are born in Spain
proper. In 1850 by the Federal cen
sus Of that year, the disparity betN cen
the number of Spaniards aud Iubans
was not very 8 eat, there being sub
stautia.ly 5000 az the former aud 1000
of the latter During the ten wears
intervening between 1850 aud 1880
the number of Spaniards increased
about - per cent, while the number
of Cubans trebled. At pre- elt. eight
years after the last Federal census,
the disparity is greater, about four to
one. Although the Portuguese inhab-
itants of the Quilted States are hy no
means an important factor i'm the
population, they are three times as
numerous rs the Spau;ards. They
are most numerous in the American
state which is furthest from Portugal
California.
The SIaniards in the United States,
insignificant in number and not in
creaSlng, are to be found chiefly in three
states remote fro n each other, New
York, Louisiana aud California. There
are SO few III some states as to make
their enumeration almost grotesgue.
For instance, in the last Federal cen
sus the number ofSranish inhabitants
returned in North Carolina was two
exactly. In West Virginia three
Spaniards were leturned, and in the
entire state of Arkansas four. In
Texas, Colorado and New Meyico
Spanish names are FIRE Iuent, but Span
ish inhabitants are not.
The Cubans are TO be found in con
siderable numbers in several of the
states, notably in Florida, New York.
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
Climatic conditions preclude Cubans
from settling in the northwestern
states, but they are well represented
on the Atlantic seaboard and in Texas
and Louisiana. There are more
Cubans i'll Floril la than foreign born
