Chuck There is a book that gives populations stats over a period of about 100 years but does not give the surnames of people living in those towns in Croatia. Also there is a book published in early 1950s which gives households and surnames by towns and village. But I don't know of any book that gives names from 1890. It does not appear the LDS has microfilmed church records from Cabuna. However you can write to the church office (zupni ured). There is a tutorial by Tom Ninkovich which gives a sample letter (Croatian and English) and other suggestions on how to obtain records from churches in Croatia. Here is the mailing address and phone number for the church in Cabuna in the Virovitca municipality. You can find Tom's tutorial by clicking on home in my link list.
