Kentucky's Coming Event Adds Two Islands to U S
A Spanish American convention in Washington ceded two tiny Philippine islands named Cagayen and Cibotu to the United States for 100000. The islands lie at the archipelago’s southern edge near the Sulu and Celebes seas, forming part of the Philippines and were outside the Paris treaty boundary. The purchase brings the archipelago total to 20100000 dollars. General Wesley Merritt criticizes the Paris exposition for organizational flaws compared with the U S fair.
