West Indies (search for this): entry porto-rico
Porto Rico,
An island in the West Indies, one of the Greater Antilles; formerly belonging to Spain, but occupied by the United States as a conquest of war in 1898.
The Spanish spelling of the first word is Puerto, and this form was followed by United States authorities till an act of Congress, approved April 12, 1900, established the form Porto.
The following review of the conditions of the island is from the report of the United States insular commission, dated June 9, 1899.
The people.
The people of Porto Rico are most loyal in their devotion to their new country and are solicitous to be regarded as a part of the United States.
Upon every hand we heard of all classes and conditions ready and willing to accept American institutions and to be content with them, and at the same time they are asking that the spirit of our laws and institutions be given them and that they be quickly relieved of the oppressive laws to which they have so long been subjected by Spanish rule.
