interesting statistics in regard to the
increase of population, compiled by Sir
Robert Clifton. show that England now
has possessions IN all five continents.
and that II quarter of the population Of
the entire earth Is subject 10 her suzer-
ainty. The extent of territory owned
by England amounts to l3,OO0.0OO
square miles. and on this immense tract
is population of 420,OOO,0OO. In the
last twcnty-seyen years the English
realm has increased by 2S54, 900 square
miles, and within the same period 49,
900. 900 have been added to the popula
ton
Since 1871 the population of the Uni
ted Kingdom-England Scotland and
lreland-has increased from $4,000. 900
TO 40,0OO,O00. Al the beginning of this
century England. Scotland and Ireland
had population of 100000. aud
France OF 2G,000,000. yet to-day the
proportion of population In both colln-
tries Is almost alike. Russia has in
creased her population by 100000
since 1870, the result being that she has
now a total population of l30,000,000
Germany had a population OF 10000

Podd relented very little bit as she
noted the for!orn aspect Of the place. But
she was determined to carry through
what she had undertaken. 1t was unlike

THE SITUATION In CUBA
General vi: {. Butler. of the Evacua-
ton Commission Gives His Views Il
a Senate Committee

Washington, January 3O.-General NJ.
G. Butler was given a hearing by the
senate committee on military affairs to-
day in regard to affairs in Havana,
where he has been recently stationed
as one of the evacuation commission.
He gave a detailed account of the re-
cent clashes in hat city between the
Spanish soldiers and the Cubans. He
expressed the opinion that General
Brooke's order forbidding participation
in the evacuation ceremonies by the
Cubans was a necessary ~precaution,
and If it hac rot been issued there
would have been trouble The Spanish
residents were exceedingly At
the same time he thought the Cubans
should be treated literally and allowed
to participate to a considerable extent
in the of public affairs. He
believed hat the Cuban soldiers could
be utilized and if there were an organ
lied force of such soldiers under Amer
lean they could be utilized in
maintaining order among the Cubans.
He dWelt at some length upon the eX-
cessive taxes imposed under the old
system.
General Butler expressed the opin-
ion that in time the Cuban people
would be capable of self-government.
but that they should be given an OPP
portunity to quiet down 'and get used
to a more liberal administration than
they have ever known. He said in re-
ply to a question from Senator Carter
that a census of the Cubans would be
