Regular troops of all kinds, including officers 14,300 Civil guards 640 Prison guards 120 Armed firemen 1,000 Infantry and cavalry militia 3,400 Soldiers who had served their time but had been kept in service 300 ------ 19,760 These troops were distributed to the proportion of three-fifths of them in the Western Department, and the remainder divided between the Central and Eastern Departments. They were amply armed and munitioned, although it must be admitted that not all of their armament was of the newest pattern. It was, however, in excellent condition and they had six thousand of the latest model Remington rifles. At the end of the year, the Spanish troops had been augmented by large reinforcements from the mother country, so that Spain had in the field a thoroughly organized and abundantly equipped army of about 110,000 men, which, of course, was capable of being greatly increased. She also had in Cuban waters the following men of war, at the beginning of October, 1868: 2 Steam frigates 91 guns 2 2d class steamers 12 guns 5 3d class steamers 10 guns 5 screw steamers, schooner rigged 15 guns -------- 128 guns Of course, she at once added to this navy, and it soon grew to formidable proportions, while the revolutionists had no navy at all, with which to repel Spanish attacks from the sea.
