deal with the newly-acquired terrltory
in such manner as the legislative
branch may consider suitable for the
new territory. The decision also nao

Points Settled.
Briefly summarized, the decision

THAT the island of Porto Rico is ter

the people.

Tuesday the decisions of the supreme
court Monday in the insular cases and
the conclusion has been reached that

heretofore and until the court shall
