POLITICAL AST) MILITARY GOVLIiJi MLSTS. 281 
teentli century (1801), Santiago de CuLa was made an 
archbishopric. The ecclesiastical limit between the diocese 
of the Havannah and Cuba passes in the meridian of Cajo 
Komano, nearly in the 80J of longitude TAest of Paris, 
betw'een the Villa de Santo Espiritu and the city of Puerto 
frincipe. The island, with relation to its political and mili- 
tary government, is divided into two goviernos, depending on 
the same capitan-general. The govierno of the Havannah 
comprehends, besides the capital, the district ot the Quatro 
Villas (Trinidad, Santo Espiritu, Villa Clai’a, and San Juan 
de los Eeniedios), and the district of Puerto Principe. 'I'he 
Capitan-general y Gobernador of the Havannah has the 
privilege of appointing a lieutenant in Puerto Principe 
{Tenientc Gobernador), as also at Trinidad and IS'ueva Pili- 
pina. The territorial jurisdiction of the capitan-general 
extends, as the jurisdiction of a corregidor, to eight pueblos 
de Aguntaniienio (the ciudades ot Hatanzas, .Taruco, San 
I^elipe y Santiago, Santa Maria del Rosario; i\ie villas oi 
truanabaeoa, Santiago do las Vegas, Guines, and San Antonio 
de los Banos). The govierno of Cuba comprehends Santi- 
ago de Cuba, Baracoa, Holguin, and Bayatno. The present 
limits of the goviernos are not the same as those of the 
bishoprics. The district of Puerto Principe, with its seven 
parishes, for instance, belonged till ISIJ, to the govierno oi 
the Havannah and the archbishopric of Cuba. In the 
enumerations of 1817 and 1820, we_ find Puerto Principe 
joined with Baracoa and Bayanio, in the jurisdiction of 
Cuba. It remains for me to speak of a third division alto- 
gether financial. By the cedilla, of the 2.3rd March, 1812, 
the island was divided into three Infcndeiicias or Provincii.s ; 
those of the Havannah, Puerto Princijie, and Santiago de 
Cuba, of which the respective length from east to west^ ns 
about ninety, seventy, and sixty-live sea-leagues. Iho 
iutendant of the Havannah retains the prerogatives ot 
iduperintendente general subdelegado de Seal Hacienda de la 
lela de Cuba. According to this division, the Provincia de 
Guha comprehends Santiago de Cuba, Baracoa, Holguin, 
Bayamo, Gibara, Manzanillo, Jiguani, Cobre, and Tiguaros; 
the Provincia de Puerto Principe, the town of that name, 
^uevitas, Jagua, Santo Espiritu, San J uan de los Keniedios, 
Villa de Santa Clara, and Trinidad. The most westerly
