The esvent .il feature on these topics were thus outlined to me txl.ty bv a member of the cabinet. sovereignty is to be established throughout ill the Philippine islands and to be permanently ma ntained. Civl k tvernment is to be extended throughout the U'ands as rapidly as rossib'e on lines somewhat imilar to the arrangements affected for the government of the island of Neros. Attention N inviu-d to the report of the Philippine commis sion as to why it is impossib 0 for the United States to part with the islands and ns to the great commercial advantage, in holding them. Civil Government in Cuba under military control is recom mendeJ until some substantial progress has been made through the medium of suffrage toward the tstahlihm.-nt of an inde pendent form of government. Attention is eilled to the fact that the census will not be completed until December 1 and as the Span ards have, under the treaty until April next to decide whether Hies will become titi-tens of the Man N, it will not be possible until that time to hold general elections to determine upon ftrure government of the island. 'I he queion of the annexation i, therefore, left open. Great stress is laid up in the improvement in the island during the year, not only commercially an 1 agriculturally, but also in the sanitary condition of the cities and town Piesident McKinl y recommends that civil g vemmeiit rn mediately repine the military in Porto Rico a civil gowni or to be appointed and a council or legis ature to be elected by the people, property and edikntion.il qualifications to be pre scribed for voters. As to Hawaii the President suggests immediate legislation to put in effect a territorial lorm of government an J the nndi fi ution of the ending bills to correspond more nearly with the present government of the islands. The tiague conference is pointed to with satislaction mid a statement made that the treaty agreed to at this con erence wll be submitted at once to the Senate. Gratificathn is ex pressed over the final settlement of tne Venezuelan bmndary controversy. Samoa comes in for a large share of attention, the exciting events of the year are reviewed and t he statement made that a ne.v treaty will soon be sent to tne Se nate lor the partition of the islands. The President refers to the tnde situation in China and the verbal assurances received by this Government from pow ers having sphere, of influence In that Empire that American trade rights will be respected. He will also announce that tu bas requested th t these verbal assurance ne pla.ed in writing but beyond bating 1h.1t favorable answers are expected, h. will be unab'e to inform Congress that he h is received the formal communications desired.
