The Guano Islands Act is a United States federal law passed by the Congress that enables citizens of the United States to take possession in the name of the United States of unclaimed islands containing guano deposits. The islands can be located anywhere, so long as they are not occupied by citizens of another country and not within the jurisdiction of another government. It also empowers the president to use the military to protect such interests and establishes the criminal jurisdiction of the United States in these territories. (...) Under the act the US gained control of around 94 islands. By 1903, 66 of these islands were recognized as territories of the US. — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guano_Islands_Act
