FOrURE OFOUR NEWPOSSESSIONS NUMEROUS SUGGESTIONS.' TnU BIN Will Bi Asnml-Oak to Vt It 0.mM Tkat Iks Bar Dull to Blunt Fart tf U Clltrf IUtM. The disposal or the Philippine and tha proper governing of Cuba and Por to Rleo are the question which now confront the government at Washing ton. The president believes that the most serious problem which the peace com mission will be called upon to deal with Is the Philippines. Before the commis sion assembles It Is hoped the affairs of Cuba and Porto Rleo will be found In auch process of adjustment a to leave little for the commission to con sider under that head. The absolute relinquishment by Spain of all sover eignty over the Islands In the West Indies will allow only the property questions to be settled between the governments that Is. what Spain shnll take away and whnt shnll remain as captures of war, and the protection of Fpanish subjects and their property In the Islnnds. The greater questions growing out of the war as relating to Cuba and Porto Rico will have to be dealt with by the United States alone. The fact that the Philippine will present the dltlleult problem In the pence negotiations has caused the ad ministration to give It a great deal of careful attention. Several suggestion have been made, one being the reten tion of the bay, city and hnrbor of Manila. Just what tho protocol give temporarily. Another I that Sulilg bay and a sufficient amount of terri tory for a nnvnl and coaling station be secured and the building up of an American city at that place begun. Still another Idea, which Is being con sidered, Is the retention of the Island of Luison, the advocate of that plan believing that there would be trouble between the government which oc- The Monitor which Gen. Merrltt reports a having safely arrived at Manila accompanied by her consort, the collier Bmtii. cupied a portion of the Island with a line of demarcation Buch as would ex ist In case Manila and the bay only una retained. The Island of Luzon ia the largest of the group and contains about 3,000,000 people, which are said to be the better class In the Philip pines. It Is believed, however, thut the administration and the commis sion will be greatly Influenced by the report which Admiral Dewey and Oen. Merrltt will make out on the sub ject. The final determination as to the government of Porto Rleo and the set tlement of the government of Cuba are problem for settlement, but the Im pression prevails that these islands will become quite rapidly amerlcan ized, and every encouragement for them to do so will be given, Porto Rico will be under military control for the present. Cuba also will be similarly governed, but It is probable that American re forms In tho matter of government will be auch that the people of Cuba will see the advantage of becoming an nexed to the United States. It I thought the sanitary Improvement of Havana and other cities, the mnnag3 ment of the municipalities and liber alty offered the country people will be of such a character as soon to con- Ince the people that the changed con ditions are for their good. There has been little doubt about soon settling the transfer of Porto Rico, and the reception which the American troops have received In that Island Is a Justification for the belief, Porto Rico will be treated at once a an American possession. The first movement In this direction will be the ending of a delegation of official from the postotllce department to In vestigate and report upon the mall facilities there now and to make such recommendations a they determine upon.

The comments of the Spanish presa on the protocol are -a veritable funer al hymn on the destruction of the Spanish colonial empire. Some days ago the desire for peace made the peo ple close their eyes to the price, but now, upon reading the protocol, they realise that the cost Is the loss of that empire which Spain had conquered with o much glory, and that Spain now falls to the second rank among nations. The public mind I stunned and there Is general mourning. Gen. Blanco telegraphs Madrid that Havana Is greatly agitated by the new of the signing of the protocol, and that much anxiety Is manifested to learn tho conditions, which have not yet been published. Some uneasi ness In felt regarding the effect that the text of the protocol may hnve on the Spanish volunteers In Havana. Many newspapers express grief and despair that the men wh brought dis aster on Spain by lack of foresight, organization and ability, should con tinue to govern the country. El Pals prints the text of the proto col signed by the United State and Spain with mourning border, and says: "Spain, without colonies. Is re duced to the role of a third rats power." El Imnarclal rnvs: "Peace will not bring to Spain even the rest she in much needs after three year and a nan or war.
