THE CUBAN CENSUS.
Taken Almost Wholly by Cubans
and Approximately Correct.

From the New York sun.
BY the census taken last year the
population of Cuba is placed at 1,572,-
797 q decrease of 5S,S40 in the twelve
years since the last previous census
was taken. The process of taking the
census was interesting, and is set forth
in General Sanger's report to the War
department, dated August 20 of this
year. 1t was decided by the secretary
of war that, as the census was for the
Cubans primarily they themselves
should take it under competent guild
ance; so that, as General Sanger point.
out. It is a census of Cuba by the
Cubans. There may be defects in It,
but 1t Is the "opinion of the people Of
Cuba and of the expert statisticians
who have been analyzing the figures
that they bear the impress of honest
work.
1t was necessary to educate almost
the entire corps of officials. The super
visors OF the six provinces We're
brought to Washington and instructed
for week in the work which they
We're to manage. On their return they
instructed their deputies and selected
enumerators, who in turn instructed
the Otnefs, 1he census was taken very
rapidly; General Sanger says it COM
pares favorably with our own census
i'm that respect. One hundred and
forty-two women We're engaged as
enumerators and rendered excellent
service. This is said to be the first
time in the history of Cuba that wo-
men have been employed i'm the public
service.
OF the results shown by the census,
General Sanger presents many of In
terest. The mortgage indebtedness OF
the island amounted to SO per cent. OF
the value OF the rural real estate and
| to 70 per cent. of the city real estate,
