Tills enumeration was actually anenforced registration of voters the dotermination ot tho population of thUland being of scant Importance comVAxed to that of registering oil personsuntitled to tho electoral franchise luorder to Insure tho purity of tho elecflan of tho next Cuban president

An estimate by ono of the most nocompllfthed statisticians In thoicrvlcoof the provisional government placestho population of Uio Island at two mil-

lions¬

of which about four hundredthousand aro foreigners not entitled tothe franchisea Thu Indications aro that Uiere ha-sLea no groat cnango In tho politicalcomplexion of tho proviucvs with IhojKKwIblo eicofrtJon of Ilrtar del Riowhoro the Inllcncv of Ilno Gucrro thomilitary leader Of tho last uprising isvery great

Even to speculate on Uio outcome ottho next election Is futile owing to thoconfusion oonsoquol on the dissensionsla the liberal party and tho undcfinuJattitude of tho coservatlves

Had the election been held a yearAgo there Is no doubt that the liberalswould havo hud tin overwhelming vietory and that Alfredo Zayas wouldliavo been president of Cuba

Now ths liberal party is hopelesslydivide between tho followers of JoioMiguel Gomct nod Zayas nod an exccllent opportunity is afforded for con

Should thoy obtain till consent ofsuch a man as Gen MarJo Menocal tosun for the presidency there can hardSy be any doubt that ho would attractH great following from tho bolter closeof liberals and would easily bo elected
