CIIBAN CENSUS MADE PUBLIC
POPULATION OF THE ISLAND Is
GIVEN AS 1,572,797.
Results Justify the United States In
Determination to Permit NUM-
cipal Suffrage.

Washington, April 19.-General San
ger today makes public here the results
of the Cuban census. The figures are
very instructive and in the opinion of
the war department officials fully justi-
fly the determination of the administra-
ton to allow municipal suffrage in
Cuba at an early date. The officials are
gratified TO find that the native Cubans
constitute so large a portion of the
population; that the whites so greatly
Outnumber the blacks, and that so
large a portion of the native popula-
ton can read and write. In their
opinion there seems IL be no room for
the objection that the proposed basis
of suffrage would result in turning the
island over TO the control of Spain.
The total population of Cuba is 1,572,-
797, including ST, 205 males and 757, 592
females. There are 447,372 white males
and 462. s26 white females of native
birth. The foreign whites number u.s.
100 males and 26.45S females. There are
III 1898 male negroes and 122,740 female
negroes. The mix ed races number 1885,
500 males and 145, 800 females There
are 1864 male and 163 female Chinese.

The governors of the several states
who have been guests of Governor
Wells during the week discussed sew
eral important questions and decided to
recommend: First, retention Of the
present laws providing for the control,
management and disposal of govern
ment arid lands; and, second, the ces-
sion of these lands to the several states
in the event of any change in the ex-
listing laws being made. We are in
clined to agree with Governor Lee of
South Dakota, who thought the leas-
ing Of these lands should be made the
first consideration. Nobody can regu-
late the development and settlement of
these lands so we'll as the legislatures

there will be no arid land problem to
discuss. immigration and settlement
will furnish a most satisfactory solu-
ton.
