The total population Of Cuba on October

The latest census taken under Spanish
authority was in 1857. The total pOpula-
tion as re,urned by that censusu was l.
63I. .6S7.
Whether that census was correct nay be
matter Of discussion, but If incorrect, the
number of inhabitants was certainly not
overstated. Comparing the total population
al these two cenSuses. il is seen that the
Joss IN the twelve years amounted to 80 =
$50, or SO per cent of the population in
1887. This iS~a is attributable to the re
cent civil war and the reconcs sntration pol
icy accompanying il. but the figures eX-
press only a part OF the loss from this
cause. Judging from the earlier history of
the island and the excess Of births over
deaths as shown by the registration re-
ords- however imperfect they may be the
population probably increased frcm 1857 up
TO the begI2Ting Of the war and at the

due to the presence Of large cities, espe-
