The President Desires to See Cuba
and Porto Rico.
It was stated yesterday By a personal
friend OF Mr.. Mckinley that he believed
that the President had been finally per-
suaded to visit Cuba and Porto Rico in
the near future. There are many sena-
torial and departmental friends of the
President who are desirous of seeing the
new acquisitions of the United States in
the West Indies and they have been en-
deavoring for some time past to form a
party composed of the President and other
high officials of the Government TO visit
the islands.
The President has repeatedly expressed
himself as exceedingly deslrous of visit
ing the West Indies, and the prospects
are that he will make the trip soon after
the adjournment of Congress. He Will
probably be accompanied by Mrs. Mckin-
ley, number of senator's and other Of
ficiais. The trip will be made ON one of
the Governments finest battleships, ana
the presidential party will spend short
time in each OF the ports of Cuba and
Porto Rico
