Cuba viii coms next, to say nothing ofthe sccessions We are about to have in the Carolines and neighboring is- lands. Along lines of longitude and latitude the American domaiR is ex- banding. Southward and westward the nations Area is broadening. Leaving out Australia, the United States will now have more territory in the Pacific than any Europeah nation. In population the Ameri- can territory in the Pacific exceeds Australia. Westward the course of npIre takes its way Nobody in AmerIcs or in any other part of the world dreamed a few Houehs sSo that empire iu the the UnitedStates would ever take its way So far west, ward as it has done.
