RESULTS OF THE
CUBAN CENSUS
Fully Justify the Decision TO Allow
Municipal Suffrage Native Whites
Constitute So Per Cent.

WASHINGTON, April l9.-General San
ger to-day made public the compendious
results of the Cuban census taken under
structive, and in the opinion Of the War
Department fully justify the decision of
the administration TO allow municipal
suffrage in Cuba at this carly stage.
The officials are gratified to, lind that
the native Cubans constitute so large a
proportion of the population; that the
whites SO greatly outnumber the blacks.
ana that so large proportion of the
native population can read and write. In
their opinion there seems TO 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 SIS. .2o5 males and 1852 females.
There are 447,372 white males and 462. .926
white females of native birth. The foreign
whites number 1890 males and 26.45S
females. There are HISS male negroes
and laa,7iO female negroes. The mixed
races number 125.aoo males and 1896
females. There are 1864 male and 1853
female Chinese.
