The acquisition of Porto Rico is a very
valuable one. Although not more than
one twelfth the size of Cuba, it has half
the population that Cuba possessed when
the recent revolution began. Cuba then
had about I.600,0O0 population, 600. 600 of
whom were blacks and the others native

have been sacrificed to the barbarism Of
Spain III addition to the casualties Of war,
and Cuba will start on her new destiny
with - population Of nearly or quite
million.
Porto Rico has a population of about
SOo,OOO, with larger proportion Of whites
than there were in Cuba. 1t has not been
rocked in the tempest Of revolution and
its business conditions are promising. 1t
has been greatly retarded in progress by
the extortionate exaciions of the Spanish
gOvernment~but as there is no desolation
there such as now exists in Cuba, there is
no reason why Porto Rico should not at
once advance rapidly in every line of in
dustrial and commercial progress.
An overwhelming majority of the peo-
pie of Porto Rico are in cordial sympathy
with the United States and will gratefully
accept the authority of our government
and its generous laws. American capital
will doubtless speedily quicken Industrial
activities in our new acquisition, as there
is no one field within the jurisdiction of
the United States that is so promising for
legitimate enterprise. 1t has one of the
most salubrious of the tropical climates
and will soon have a large number of
American visitors in the winter season.
Porto Rico is thus finally accepted as a
province of the United States. Cuba will
follow as an independent republic that
must soon be thoroughly Americanized
under our protection, and doubtless an
nexed TO the United States in the near
future. leaving the Philippines as the
only unsettled issue OF the war.
