Future Of the Islands the

Various Suggestions Made but

IN CUBA AND PORTO RICO

WASHINGTON, Aug. l5.-The admin.
istration Is busy discussing the new
conditions resulting from the signing
OF tho peace protocol. The presidsnt
believes that the m ost serious problem
which tho peace commission will be
called upon to deal with is the Philip.
pines. Before tho commission assem-.
bles it il hoped that affairs Of Cuba
and Porto Rico will be found in such
process Of adjustment as to leave little
for the commission to consider under
that head. In fact the Philippines
will present the only difficult problem
in the peace negotiations and has
caused the administration to give 1t :
great deal Of careful confederation.
Several suggestions have been made a.
to what shall be done-one being the
the retention of the
, Bay, City and Hsrbor Of Manila,
just what the protocol gives tenn.
porarily. Another is that Subig bay
and sufficient amount Of territory for
= naval coaling station be secured and
the building up Of an American city at
that place begun. Still another idea
which is being considered is the retela.
ton OF the island of Luzon, the advo.
Gates of that plan believing that there
would b trouble between the govern.
msnts which occupied portion Of the
island with : line Of demarcation such
- would exist in case Manila and the
bay only were obtained. The island Of
Iuzon is the largest Of tho group and
contains about >, 000. 900 people, which
are said to be the better class In the
Philippines. It 10 believed, however,
that tho administration and the com.
mission will be greatly Influenced by
Reports Of Dewey and Merritt
on tho subject. Their reports are ex.
pected before the commission meets.
The final determination 90 to tho gov.
ernment of Porto Rico and Cuba are
problems for settlement, but tho i'm.
preston prevails that these islands will
become quite rapidly Amerioanizsd,
and every encouragement for them to
do 10 will be given. Porto Rico
will be under military control for
the present. Cuba also will be
similarly governed but it is probable
that American reforms in the matter
of government will be such that tho
people of Cuba will see the advantage
of becoming annexed to the United
States. It is thought the sanitary i'm.
provement of Havana and other cities,
the management of the municipalities
and iberality offered the country peo'
pie will be of such q character soon to
convince the people that the changed
are for their good.

1t was the ignorance as to the position
of the Spanish feet which sailed from St.

| squadron was bound for Northern port,
| with the object of committing much
damage as possible and then returning to

dispelled. and no apprehension is now felt
as to the impending demonstration by the

| Consideration has been given by rhe

| sells flying the enemys flag were cruising
! in Northern waters, but beyond the sta
tioning of Commodore Howell's command
in Massachusetts waters nothing has
been done to prevent them from continu-
ing their attempts TO privateer upon
American commerce.
1t is possible. naval experts say. that
in order TO make a counter demonstration
and withdraw American attention from
the Cape Verde fleet the Spanish cruisers
off the Newfoundland Banks. If they be
in thar vicinity. may be ordered TO ap-
pear at some point along the American
coast. Such a demonstration is not fear
