Washington, July H.-An authoritative
statement was made to-day that the Island
of Porto Rico would be held as a perma-
nent possession of this country as the
price of the war. The subjoined practi-
cally officials statement was made to the
Associated Press to-day:
Porto Rico will be kept by the United
States. That is settled and has been the
plan from the first. Once taken it will

into the hands of the United States and
there has never been any other thought
Its possession will go toward making up
the heavy expense of war to the United
States. Our flag once run up there will
float over the island permanently"
The same authority says the future of
the Philippines is a matter of develop
ment and that so far there is no certain
policy finally adopted regarding these ISL
ands; they are subject to the developments
in the war situation in the Pacific.
It was intimated however, though not
definitely asserted, that the Ladrone ISL
