THE CENSUS OF CUBA.
A Classified Statement of the PopuIa-
ton of Voting Age.

Gen. ]. P. Sanger, U. S. A., Director OF
Secretary of War a statement presenting
the male population of Cuba twenty one
years Of age and over. classified according
to race, nationality. citizenship, literacy
and superior education. The immediate
object Of preparing this statement was to
OF the. election laws, proposed and recently
promulgated by the Military Governor of
Cuba, on the male population of voting
age. These provisions limit the suffrage
to such of the citizens of Cuba as are able
to read and write.
The statement shows that the total
number of male citizens Of voting age in
Cuba is 417,993. divided among 1888
whites born in Cuba, 96.0SS whites born in
Spain, 6,794 whites born in other coun-
tries, and 127,29S colored, including blacks,
mixed, and Chinese. OF the Cuban citizens,
numbering 200, 905, there are 1887 who
can neither read nor write, 4,132 can read
but cannot write. 105,2S5 can read and
write, and 1851 have superior education.
OF the 106,214 colored Cuban citizens. 1928
can neither read nor write. while only 1873
have superior education. OF $4,000 Spanish
314 have superior education.
OF the rs, 669 residents of Cuba Of voting
age who have not declared their citizen
ship there are $3.50 who can read and
write and 2,1s2 OF superior education. OF
citizens classified as foreign and unknown,
numbering 40, 919, there are 1874 who can
read and write and 2,071 with superior edu-
cation.
The males of voting age in Cuba consti-
tuted &c per cent of the total population,
a little less than the proportion. in 1890.
in the United States, where it was "a per
cent The percentage of the various
classes Of males of voting age to the whole
number OF persons OF voting age was:
Cubans, 20: Spanish, 2: in suspense, IL,
and foreign or unknown. 10. The degree of
illiteracy of these classes was: Cuban. 50
per cent; Spanish. II per cent; in sus-
pense, 20 per cent, and foreign or I'M
known, Go per cent. OF the 1904 white
Cuban citizens, natives Of the island, 81
per cent were unable to read. The col
ored Cuban citizens, numbering 10e,214, in
cluded "a per cent of illiterates.
Summing up the situation, General San
ger says that 1t appears that the total
number of males OF voting age who could
read was 202,631. a little less than half
the number of males of voting age. OF
these. 22.629 were OF Spanish or other
foreign citizenship or unknown citizenship.
The number whose citizenship was in sus-
pense was 59.724. and the number of Gu
ban citizens unable to read 11s,27S. or 50
per cent of all Cuban citizens of voting
age.

| think the Administration desires to meet
Here is the Hanna leader in the South,
charged with a capital crime. a fugitive
from justice: but delegate at-large to the
Philadelphia Convention. If he reaches
Philadelphia. il will be only through ar
rangements for his immunity from legal
arrest and extradition with three State
Governors. who each must violate the Con-
stitution in making them. He caa only ap-
pear in the Republican National Conven-
tion as an alleged criminal, criminally
given n safe conduct to pass through terri
tories sufficiently under the influence of
Hannaism TO save him from being cap
tured. shackled. and returned to the iurs-
diction from which he has fed, as COM
mon malefactor.
Perhaps all this is in advance of the
fact. Governor Mount. at the last moment
may hesitate TO violate his oath and to
overset the whole criminal interstate
comfy of the county. On the other hand
he may not. The murder of Governor
Goebel. we are sorry to see, is largely re-
garded in Republican circles as political
incident which has reflected credit upon
its author and perpetrator. rather than
otherwise and we do not expect Mount to
act in the case of the refugee Taylor in
any way otherwise than he has in that Of
the other alleged murderer Finley.
We will assume that the Administration
control over the Governors of Indiana
Ohio. ard Pennsylvania is complete.
Granting that, there is no room for
doubt that Taylor will appear at the head
of the Kentucky delegation. and receive
the ovation to which his good politics"
and sound business methods' entitle him.
The American people viii view the picture
with interest and amusement, and wonder
if national platform of the kind sug-
gested by Taylors personality will be
adopted. Such a platform would have
which had been sawed off, and there would
be trigger to withdraw them, when the
proper official should drop the white hand
kerchef
There is nothing strange about this
proposition. Taking Taylor at the worst,
he is rather a peaceful. mild. and virtueus
person when compared with some Of the
people who have been his pastors ind
masters. If he has done wrong, 1t has
been largely as a tool. AS charged. he
may have connived at the elimination of
a Democratic opponent who was in the way
of his machine. But even such sin
might be considered venial by the side Of
a successful attempt corruptly to buy a
United States Senatorship - something
which happened in a neighboring State, if
a committee of its Senate is TO be believed.
The Hanna machine has Taylor on its
hands. On the whole he sizes up better in
his contemplate terror in Indiana than he
could otherwise. We relegate him to his
friends and the national partisans 1e-
sponsible for his ENHANCEMENT with COM
plete confidence that ultimately, he and
they will reap the full harvest of the wind
they have sown.

Taylor of Kentucky.

Readers of The Times will probably have
noticed that an Indictment has been filed
in Frankfort KY, against William S. Tay-
lor, charging him with being an accessory
before the fact to the murder of the late
Governor Goebel. OF that State. II will
also be remembered that, several weeks
ago, we asserted that such an indictment
had been found.
Considering the UNPLEASANT predicame Mt
In which this development places the Re-
publican party in Kentucky, of which Tay-
lor is the head. and in which he has been
long recognized as the personal representa-
tive Of Mark Hanna, it is rather a delicate
matter TO discuss the probable grounds Tor
the popular opinion in the Blue Grass S:ate,
and throughout the country, regarding the
question Of Taylor's guilt or innocence
While Taylor is fugitive from
Justice, the Prescriptions are neces-
sarily against him. As far as the
confessions of his alleged co-conspira-
tors~ are entitled to weight, they seem
to display him as the initiatory force
had faced the accusation as in Washington
be declared he would, it might be said that
be had good defence against the state
ments of Golden and Youtsey, who confess
to responsibility with him for the murder.
IT would still be difficult for him to explain
his ''perdons' Of persons connected with
the crime. before they had been apprehend-
ed, or hardly suspected. Still, the reason
able doubt would lie, and Taylor might be
considered as a man charged with foul
crime, who might clear himself before q
court and jury. II. as on the contrary, he
stands before the country today one
whose every action during the past months
has conduced to anything but an idea of his
innocence, he has himself to blame. If he
is not guilty of the foul crime laid at his
door. his actions have not tended 20 sus-
tain the other hypothesis.
The bench warrant for Taylor is out,
and the good and virtuous Presbyterian
Governor of Indiana will now have TO
decide whether he will surrender the &C.
cused to the legal authorities Of Kentucky,
Us he is bound 10 under the Constitution OF
the United States, or will protect him from
