Each province has also its local assembly, while the municipalities are administered by councillors varying in number with the population of the comnrane. Instruction is obligatory for all bet-ween six and nine years of age. The army, including one battalion of bl icks, consists of 19,000 men on a peace footing, paid by the local revenue. About half of the public income is derived from the customs, 25 per cent, being levied on all imported goods. One fifth of the expenditure is absorbed by the interest of the debt, w^hich amounts (1891) to £38,000,000. Cuba is divided for administrative purposes into six provinces, tabulated in the Appendix.
