We intend to remain in Porto Rico; we do not know what we shall do with the Philippines.

Porto Rico freedom is not of long date; and Cuban emancipation is even yet newer.

The bedbug has not been seen in a year in Porto Rico, though there is no reason why it should not be here.

In Porto Rico there is a belief that a single severe hurricane occurs about once in each hundred years.

Add to that the area that will be needed for our sugar, and the result does not equal the whole of Porto Rico.
