Washington, July S--The insular commits
sion has prepared an exhaustive opinion by
which II holds that islands In the possession
oil the United States as result OF the war
| With Spain are not part of the territory OF the
United States. Copies OF this opinion have
been furnished to the secretary of war aud
| the attorney general and II is surmised that
tho attorney general will shortly prepare an
official opinion upon this important question.
the commission holds that there is radical
difference between territory part OF the
United States and territory in the possession
| OF the United States.
| 1t has been generally conceded, they say,
that we can do we please with the islands
which we obtained from Spain; that wo cad
sell them give them away or turn them over
to the Inhabitants who live upon them for the
establishment Of independent government. IL
this general admission lie true, then, they ar
firm, the islands can not be part OF the terri
tory Of the United States. because no part OF
the United States can be alienated. The United
States can neither sell nor ALLEVIATE any por-
ton OF their territory. nor can any portion of
tho territory ALLEVIATE itself from the United
States. This was we'll settled by the war o:
secession
The supreme court has held that military
occupation does not extend the boundaries OF
the United States. and the commission claims
that tho Spanish cession merely confirmed our
military occupation. There was nothing in
the treaty of Paris which made the islands
we obtained from Spain part of our terri
tory.
In this respect the treaty was markedly diff
ferent from those by which We obtained Lou
isiana and Florida By the terms of both
these latter treaties the territory acquired was
to become part of the United States, and the
Inhabitants thereof at the time of the cession
were to be entitled to all the privileges and
immunites OF citizenship.
The situation with reference to Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines. the commission
says. is practically the Same as that of the |

.-,..-v accuired from Mexico In the war o'
,s.e There WINS military occupation OF New
Mexico for Ave years before congress extend
cd the sovereignty OF the laws of tho United
| states over II and amalgamated 1t with tue
Union. General Kearney set UP government
| there with supreme court, trial courts ana
all the other accessories OF government, ana
when congress made It into a territory ali
| the acts OF the military government were rec
! ornized as legal and all the cases pending In
| those improvised courts were transferred TO
| the United States courts for final adjudica-
| lion. Once Porto Rico and the other islands
are recognized as territory OF the United
states, the decision, the commission holds. is
| irrevocable.
All laws OF the United States are immedi-
ately extended over the islands, citizenship is
conferred upon the inhabitants. and com
merce between tho islands and the United
States becomes free, in virtue OF the consti-
tutional provisions inhibiting the laying of
duties between portions of the United States
territory. The members OF the commission
believe that the courts OF the United States.
In rendering a decision on this question,
would of necessity follow the political policy
of the government. They have prepared
code OF laws for extension over the Islands.
With reference to the tariff duties. they be-
lieve that much injury results from the pres-
ent condition. While the military governor
has the power in Porto Rico, for instance, to
reduce the tariff on goods entering the ISLAM,
1t has no power to reduce the tariff upon ex-
ports from the island to the United States.
Therefore, they say, it would be manifesty
unfair to negotiate reciprocity treaties with
the Barbados. Jamaica and other West 1n-
dian Islands by which they could get their
products into the United States at lower
rate than those which come from Porto Rico.
1t would be an unjust discrimination against
territory actually in our possession They
beiieve that reciprocity treaties could be ne
gotated with Porto Rico for mutual reduction

for the purpose. Many OF tho negroes
seem content to remain there as long al
they are fed. There 10 q well on the
mound which seems TO furnish an abund-
ance OF good water.
Cattle by the hundreds. which have
stood In the water. are considered as
worthless for future service. Their limbs
swell up at the joints to twice the usual
size. and 'hoof evil will make them val
uelcss; though alive. death to them all
| would be charity.
All suffering people up TO Saturday
night are being fairly well cared for as to
| food, but calomel and quinine for the
sick is badly needed. Tho water had
fallen 10 inches at THE Mound up to
this afternoon, and people expect TO re-
main there at least a week longer. II de-
pendent on dry land to carry them away.
Many negroes declare they will not go
back to their cabins in the bottom at all,
but will farm on the uplands In the fu-
ture.
The flood at this point Is from eight to
ten miles wide and the oldest farmers say
1t was foot higher than ever known,
the highest being in 1852. All cotton In
the bottoms is completely destroyed. All
ears OF corn that water has not reached
Will be saved; the corn entirely covered
will be soured, but will probably be used
for hogs.
Some OF the farmers have decided to
work the land as soon as the water recedes
and try cotton again for a partial crop.
Some Will SOW millet. or pease. for feed.
The washing and securing of land has
been very bad and the course Of the river
will doubtless be changed in some places.
The dread OF the people is that sickness
will become extreme in all bottom lands,
caused by thousands OF decaying animals
and fermenting vegetation.
The need Of the hour seems to be medi-
cine for the sick and exhausted. The flu
ture Will make its wants known as time
rolls on and the water recedes.
