The population OF Porto Rico, as
shown by the schedules Of the present
census. but as OF October is. 1899. is
953.243. The population is very dense,
being 264 persons TO square mile,
equal in density to Massachusetts, the
most densely populated state in these
United States. These details from the
government publication are the most
authentic and possess much interest:
The people OF Porto Rico are. in the
main. a rural community. There are
no large cities in the island. the two
largest being San Juan. which, regard
ing the entire municipal district as a
city. had population OF 32.o4s and
Ponce. which with its port constituted
practically one city, with a population
OF 1882. These are the only two cities
exceeding $1,000 inhabitants. The next
city OF magnitude is Maysguez, on the
west coast, with a population of l5,1s7.
The only other city exceeding 5000 in
habitants is Arccibo. with a popua-
tion Of s00s. The total urban popua-
sion OF the island contained in cities
exceeding 5000 inhabitants each is s3, ,i95,
or only ST per cent. of the population
OF the island. This is a much smaller
proportion than In Cuba, where the
corresponding figures are s7.s per cent.
or in the United states. where the cor
responding proportion in 1890 was 2s.a
per cent. ~
There are In Porto Rico 81 cities, each
having q population OF 1000 or more.
The total urban population OF the ISL
and. under this definition. numbers
203. 7s2. or 21.l per cent. OF the total
number OF Inhabitants OF the island
Similar ngures for Cuba show al per
cent. Of the population Of that island.
