Prospects of Porto Rico.

Porto Rico's treatment by the
United States will make American
sway in the Philippines popular, and
will strengthen the annexation senti-
ment' in Cuba. Within three or four
years, it is safe to predict, Porto Rico
will be given the full territorial sta
tus. The island has already consid-
cradle home rule, but it will have
more when it enters the list of ter
ritories. AS territory it will have
made big advance toward state
hood. The American people feel well
toward the Porto Ricans. The
islanders are showing an apprecia-
tion of the good treatment given
them by the United States, and are
thus putting themselves in the way
OF further favprs. Porto Rico has q
