That year Velasquez, with a force of 300 men, founded the town of Baracoa, near the eastern end of the island, and two years later Trinidad and Santiago, together with a number of other towns in the interior. In 151i> Habana was founded, and in 1552 it became the capital. The growth of European population in Cuba was particularly slow during the first 250 years, and in 1775 the population numbered only 171,020. The occupation of Cuba by the Spaniards was continuous from the date of its coloni- zation to 1898, with the exception of the English invasion of 1762, during which Habana and a part of Matanzas Province were taken possession of b}^ the English and held for a few months. On Decem- ber 10, 1898, the sovereignty of Spain in Cuba was relinquished by treaty to the United States, after a war which, though brief, was exceedingly disastrous to Spanish power and prestige. While thus measurably free from foreign invasion for centuries, the island was on several occasions the scene of domestic disturbances, due in nearly all cases to Spanish misrule. Such were the insurrections of 1717, 1812, 1826, and at several later dates, but none of these were of serious importance. In 1868, however, an insurrection broke out, and continued, with desultory fighting in various parts of the island, for ten years. The recent insurrection was the most general and serious of these domestic disturbances. It broke out in 1896, and was ended in 1898 by the intervention of the United States. It is unneces- sary to speak of this at length, since the events of that struggle are recent and well known. The aboriginal inhabitants of Cuba have been variously estimated at from 200,000 to 1,000,000. In all probability the former figures are nearer the truth. Upon the settlement of the island by the Europeans these natives were promptly enslaved and put to work on the plantations and in the mines, where they soon succumbed to hard work, and within fifty years of the date of the first colonization, or long before the end of the sixteenth century, the aboriginal population of Cuba had been wiped off the face of the earth, and at present no trace of Indian blood is to be found in the island. Upon the destruction of the Indian element its place was taken by African slaves, and for centuries the African slave trade was a most profitable one, ceasing only with the abolition of slavery in 1883. POPULATION. The population of Cuba, according to the census taken under the direction of the United States War Department in 1899, was 1,572,797. Twelve years earlier, in 1887, according to a census taken under Spanish authority, the luunber was reported as 1,631,687, or nearly 59,000 greater. After allowing for the probable increase of the popu- 14 GAZETTEER OF CUBA.

The first census of Cuba upon which any reliance can be placed was taken in 1775. The following table shows the population at the date of each subsequent census and the decennial rate of increase: Population of Cuba at each census. Population.

The density of population, taking the island as a whole, was 35.7 inhabitants to the square mile. The area, population, and density of population of the six provinces are given in the table below: Area, total population, and density of population, by provinces. Province. Area. Population.

Including, however, all cities down to 1,000 each, the proportion of urban population rises to 47.1 per cent, that of the United States being the same. The capital and chief city of the island is Habana, situated on the north coast near its western end, with a population of 235,981. Other important cities are Santiago, the capital of Santiago Province, on the south coast near the eastern end of the island, population 43,090; Matanzas, the capital of Matanzas Province, on the north coast, population 36,374; Cienf uegos, LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

Most of the larger cities are situated upon the seacoast rather than in the interior, indicating their commer- cial character. The center of population of Cuba in 1899 was situated in latitude 22° 15' and longitude 80° 23'. This locates it in Santa Clara Province, 30 miles southwest of the city of Santa Clara, and 8 miles northeast of Cienf uegos. It is at a distance of 76 miles northwest of the geographic center of the island. As to sex, the population was distributed in the proportions of 51.8 per cent males and 48.2 per cent females, the excess in the number of males being probably due to immigration. As to race, there were 68 per cent white and 32 per cent colored. The colored formed less than one-third of the population, and their proportion has for man^'^ 5'^ears been diminishing. The foreign-born formed 9 per cent of the total population, which leaves 60 per cent as native whites. Three-fourths of all the foreign-born in Cuba came from Spain. Of the remainder, the countries which most freely con- tributed were China, Africa, and the United States. Other West Indian islands, and even the neighboring countries of Central and South Amer- ica, contributed very few, showing the extremelj?^ sedentary character of these peoples. The foreign-born element was found mainly in the cities, and especi- ally in the larger ones. Nearly one-third of the entire foreign-born element was found in the cit}^ of Habana, where it constituted 22 per cent of the entire population of the city. The proportion of married, even when we add to the number of those legally married those who have assumed marital relations without the sanction of law, is very small, being only 24 per cent of the population, as contrasted with the proportion in the United States, 35.7 per cent. Of this proportion thus living together, either with or without the sanction of law, about two-thirds were legally married and one-third were living together without marriage. The legallj'^ married consti- tuted only about one-half the proportion that the}^ do in the United States. Of the total population of Cuba, 34 per cent, or a little more than one-third, were able to read. For obvious reasons, illiteracy was greater among the colored than among the white, and greater in rural districts than in cities. The proportion of Cubans reported as being employed in gainful occupations was 40 per cent, or two-tifths of the total population, a proportion larger than in either the United States or Porto Rico. Of the males, 68 per cent were reported as wage-earners; of the females only 9 per cent. 16 GAZETTEER OF CUBA. [bull. 192. The wage-earners were distributed in the following proportions among the great groups of occupations: Occupations of wage-earners. Per cent.

There were, in 1899, 60,711 farms, with a total area of 262,858 caballerias, a caballeria being equal to 33 acres. The average size of a farm in Cuba was 143 acres, and the average area cultivated per farm 13 acres. Of the entire area of Cuba 30 per cent was reported to be in farms, but only 3 per cent of the area of the island, and only 10 per cent of the area in farms, was under cultivation. The most highly cultivated parts of the island were in Matan^as and Habana provinces. In Puerto Principe cultivation is comparatively slight, most of the farms consisting of mere cattle ranches. Of the cultivated area of Cuba, less than one-half was owned by its occupants, and a little more than one-half was rented. Of this culti- vated area 85 per cent was occupied b}'^ whites, either as owners or renters, and only 11 per cent by colored, the remainder being unknown. The only measure of farm products obtained by the census was in terms of areas cultivated in the several crops. Measured thus by areas under cultivation, sugar cane is far the most important crop of the island, occupying 47 per cent, or nearly one-half the cultivated area. Sweet potatoes are second on the list, with 11 per cent; tobacco 9 per cent. Bananas occupy little less than 9 per cent, and other crops occupy still smaller proportions. Sugar cane was produced in all the provinces of the island, but had the greatest importance in the provinces of Santa Clara and Matanzas, which together produced nearly three-fourths of the crop, as measured by the area under culti- vation. Santiago produced about one-sixth of the crop and Habana about one-sixteenth, the proportions produced in the other provinces being trifling. Tobacco was produced in all the provinces, but three-fourths of the entire production, as measured by the area under cultivation, came from the province of Pinar del Rio, and nearly all the remainder from Habana and Santa Clara. Coffee, which was once a product of great importance in Cuba, has diminished in recent years, and now but little is produced, that little coming from the provinces of Santiago and Santa Clara. There were in Cuba, in 1899, 207 sugar mills, or centrals, with a daily production of 61,407 bags of sugar. There were also 86 stills, with a daily capacity of 161,751 gallons.
