Some embarrassment in administration has
occurred by reason Of the peculiar status which
the Hawaiian islands at present occupy. BY
the resolution OF annexation the president was
directed to appoint five commissioners to rec
ommend to congress such legislation concern
ing the islands as they should deem necessary
or proper. The commissioners were duly ap-
pointed and prepared bill to provide a gov
eminent under the title OF The Territory OF
Hawaii" The report of,the commission, with
the bill which they prepared, was transmitted
by me to congress on December 6, 1898, but the
bill still awaits dnal action, The people of
these islands are entitled to the benefits and
privileges of our legislation, but in the absence
OF any act of congress providing for Federal
courts in the islands. they are powerless to
SECURE their enforcement by the Judgment of
the courts Of the United States. Legislation
! for their relief is urgent
FOR PORTO RICO.
| recommend that legislation to the same end
| be had with reference TO the government OF
Porto Rico. 1t is desirable that the govern
ment OF the islands under the law OF beligerent
right, now maintained through the executive
department, should be superseded by an ad-
ministration entirely civil in its nature For
| present purposes l recommend tnat congress
pass a law for the organization OF q temporary
government, which shall provide for the ap-
pointment by the president, subject to confr-
nation by the senate, OF governor and such
other officers as the general administration OF
the island may require, and that for legislative
purposes and subjects of q local nature not par
taking OF federal character, a legislative
council, composed partly of Porto Ricans and
partly OF citizens Of the United States, shall be
nominated and appointed by the president
subject to confirmation by the senate, their acts
to be subject to the approval OF the congress
and president prior to going into effect.
CONCLUSION.
Presented to this congress are great oppoF-
tunitles, With them come great responsible
ties The power conf1ded to US increases the
weight of our obligations to the people, and we
must be profoundly sensitive OF them as we
contemplate the new and grave problems which
confront US Aiming only at the public good,
we cannot err.

lands, that the United States should pay to
Spain the sum OF 100000 900 and that the civil
rights and political status OF the native inhabi-
tants should b. determined by congress.
The treaty was ratified by the senate on the
9Th OF February 1899, and BY the government OF
Spain on the 10th OF March, following. In this
manner the Philippines came to the United
States The Islands were ceded by Spain
which had been In undlsputed possession Of
them for centuries. They were accepted not
merely by our authorized commissioners in
