STEP IS TAKEN TO

SET UP REP UG

THIS HAS BEEN ACCOMPL SHEDBY THE ENUMERATIONFP-

OPULATION OF CUDA

POLITICAL COMPLEXIONNOT GREATLY CHANGED

With the Possible Exception of Plrurdel Rio the Provinces Hold theSame Views Number of ForeignersIn Island Estimated at 400000

Havana Nov iWtlh tho complethin of enumeration of tho populationof Cuba thoro has been accomplishedthe tint stop In tho direction of thotermination of the American Intorven ¬

lion and tho retestabllibment of thoCuban republic

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

enratlvos to organize and nominate aloader who wilt command tho respectof thrt country

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

Oon Menocal however It Is bellcvod could not bo tempted to entertho prit rdolUall1rct111

An dement that may Novo to be otprime Importance in tho coming oloctea is tho health of Joso MiguelQomoz It Is rwunored that tho gen< ral Is afflicted with a dangerous all ¬

ment which may corapcllili retirementXrom the Add-

Colacldent with tho completion ofthe enumeration Is that of tho electorate law on which the committee ofwhich Col Crowder Is the bead hasbeen working for months

It walls only the approval of GOTSajoon before being promulgatedso that It tranqulllty Jo mainitalacd nothing stands in the way ofcarrying out tho present pro utmmo oftho government which Is to hold thomunicipal elections la May or Junonnd tho presidential election In the tel ¬
