These military notes were compiled in the Military Information Division, Army of Cuban Pacification, during the occupation of Cuba in 1906, 1907, and 1908. The plan was formulated in said division and carried to completion under the supervision of the commanding generals of that army. This compilation was prepared by Capt. John W. Furlong, General Staff Corps, who was in charge of the Military Information Division, Army of Cuban Pacification, February 19, 1907, to November 23, 1908. The island of Cuba was divided into districts, to each of which an intelligence officer was assigned and almost all of the information herein contained was obtained by these officers. Some general information has been taken from the Military Notes on Cuba published in 1898, and from the Cuban Census of 1907. The maps showing the division of the provinces into townships and the townships into barrios are not intended as indexes to the subject-matter following them, but are inserted for the purpose of showing the relative locations of townships and barrios. They were prepared from maps furnished by the Department of Government of the island of Cuba. Figures of population are taken from the Cuban Census of 1907. A general table of contents shows the arrangement of the subject-matter. The book may be used in connection with the Military Map of Cuba, 1906-9, and Road Notes of Cuba compiled during the second intervention.
