Is it true that the Spanish East Indies still exist?

Question:At least nominally? as I read somewhere that Spain legally still has title to a few islands that were left out of the 1899 German-Spanish treaty and that the current Spanish king Juan Carlos, continues to use the title of "King of the Spanish East Indies"

Thank you very much for your help :)

Following the Spanish-American War in 1898, most of the islands were occupied by the United States while the rest were sold to Germany in the German-Spanish Treaty (1899). However, the kings of Spain (including the current monarch) still continued to use the title "King of the Spanish East Indies" as part of their traditional values.

No, just in title as the 1st guy said.!!!
