Should be the territories of Alaska and Hawaii, but I'll look it up.
[The Philippines were added after the Spanish American war, but that was 1898.]

Alaska was purchased in March 1867 for $7.2 million, but it was not immediately organized into a territory due to the very small population of Americans. The First Organic Act (1884) made Alaska a civil and judicial district and provided the "territory" with judges, clerks, and marshals (source cited below). Formal organization of Alaska as a territory was in 1912, but it was under US control during the 1868-1897 time period you stipulate.

As for Hawaii, after the overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani in 1893, the Committee of Safety established the Provisional Government of Hawaii to govern the islands in transition to expected annexation by the United States. But formal annexation did not take place until 1898.

The Spanish American war started in the spring of 1898 and ended in December with the Treaty of Paris which gave the United States ownership of the former Spanish colonies of Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam - - but this is later than your time period.
