SummaryResumen

Commander Selfridge reported to the United States Government regarding potential coal depot locations in the West Indies, noting that the port of Mole St. Nicholas at the northwestern extremity of Hayti was strategically superior. Additionally, the Dominican Government previously sent a confidential letter to Secretary Seward requesting a loan of one million dollars and heavy artillery pieces to replace fortifications broken before the Spanish War. Secretary Fish later described the manner in which this intimation and subsequent government steps were made using language from his predecessor, Mr. Seward.

El comandante Selfridge elevó un informe al gobierno de los Estados Unidos tocante a los fondeaderos más idóneos para depósitos carboneros en las Antillas, señalando que la bahía de Môle Saint-Nicolas en la extremidad noroccidental de Haití poseía superioridad estratégica. Por añadidura, el Gobierno dominicano remitió con anterioridad una carta confidencial al secretario Seward impetrando un empréstito de un millón de dólares y artillería gruesa para reponer las baterías averiadas antes de la guerra con España. El secretario Fish describió más tarde las condiciones de dicha insinuación y los trámites subsiguientes adoptados por la administración sirviéndose de conceptos de su antecesor Seward.
