Passage summaryResumen del pasaje

The *New-York Tribune* reported that the bay and a portion of the peninsula of Samaná, located on the northeast coast of the island of Hayti, possess great natural facilities for repairing vessels and occupy an important strategic position relative to inter-oceanic routes. The article stated that possession of Samaná would be of incalculable value to the United States for commercial purposes and as a naval station, comparing its potential importance to that of Gibraltar. Additionally, the excerpt described the area as having a fertile soil, a salubrious tropical climate, and being reachable from New York in four days by steamer.

El *New-York Tribune* informó que la bahía y una parte de la península de Samaná, situadas en la costa nororiental de la isla de Santo Domingo, ofrecen excelentes condiciones naturales para el carenado y reparación de buques y ocupan una posición estratégica primordial respecto a las rutas interoceánicas. El artículo aseveró que la posesión de Samaná revestiría un valor inestimable para los Estados Unidos con fines mercantiles y como base naval, comparando su trascendencia potencial con la de Gibraltar. Además, el extracto describió la zona dotada de un suelo feraz y un saludable clima tropical, accesible desde Nueva York en cuatro singladuras por vapor.

{s on tho south side of the peninsula of that name, situ.

ated on the north-east coast of the island of Hayti. The

bay is 43 miles in length from cast to west, and about 8

miles broad. The Yuma, the largest river in San Do-

mingo, empties itself in at its west end, and it has great

natural facilities for repairing or careening vessels of the

largest burden. Samana, beside being one of the finest

harbors in the world, occupies a most important position

with reference to the various inter-oceanic routes to the

West Indies, the Gulf of Mexico, and Central America.

It commands the Mona passage—the principal eutrance

to the Carribean Sea for vessels frou Europa—from which

strait It 1s not more than 60 or 70 miles distant; and it Is

not much more than three times that distance from the

windward passagebotween Hayti and Cuba. Tts postus-

sion would be of incalculable vilue to the United States,

both in commercial point of view, and as regards the

advantages it offers for a naval station. It wou d, in fact,

bo made to the Carribean and the Gulf what Gibraltar is

to the Mediterranean, It is said that a portion of the Pe-

ninsula is to be ceded along with the bay. The soll of the

peninsula is described as exceedingly: fertile, and the

Climate, although tropical is by no means insalubrious.
