Cuban census yields surprising literacy and native majority
A Havana dispatch reports Cuban census figures compiled in Washington under General Sanger show a large native population with high literacy and favorable ratio of whites to blacks. The data cover Havana city and province, Mantazas, Pinay del Rio, Puerto Principe, Santa Clara, and Santiago, detailing citizenship, marriage status, and schooling. The War Department views these results as supporting early municipal suffrage in Cuba and notes education levels among natives.
