CUBAN CENSUS FIGURES.
Heavy Loss in Population Was
Caused by the War.


Washington, May 14.-Gen. Sanger, in
charge of the census taking in Cuba and
Porto Rico, made public to-day a bulletin
which says that as compared with the
Spanish census of 1887, the recent Cuban
count discloses loss in the twelve years
Of $3.50, attributable to the recent civil
war, and the RECOMMENDATION policy ac-
companying 1t.
These figures, however, express only a
part of the loss from this cause, and the
direct and indirect losses by the war and
recommendation policy are estimated at
100000. The area of the island is approx
1mately 1900 square miles, With the aver
age number of inhabitants per square
mile, 1877, about the same as the state of
Iowa. In the province of Habana, the
population is most dense, with an average
of 1853 inhabitants per square mile Puerto
Principe is most sparsely populated, with
an average of only Inhabitants to the
square mile.
The urban population of all cities of
more than LOCO Inhabitants numbers 741,-
273, or nearly one-half of the entire popu-
lation. The urban population of cities of
5000 or more inhabitants amounts to 499,
6S2, a proportion of over 50 per cent of the
total population, as compared with a cor
responding figure of 292 per cent. shown
in the United States census of 1890.
Ninety-six Cuban cities have a popula-
ton in excess of LOCO inhabitants, in six
teen of which the number of inhabitants
is 5000 or more, five having a population
in excess of $500. and one Habana) a
population of 1881.
