POPULATION.

The Philippine Commission has adopted 8,000,000 as the total figure for the population at the present time and consider it a conservative estimate. Baranera, whose figures are believed to be carefully prepared, places the total at 9,000,000. Any estimate of the total population must manifestly depend on the number of inhabitants assigned to the various wild tribes, of which there are no less than 69. The following table, given by the Philippine Commission, shows the names of the several provinces and military districts of the Archipelago, with their capitals, as well as the island in which each is situated, together with their populations.
