SummaryResumen
The *Worcester Daily Spy* reported that the island of St. Domingo is divided between the Dominican Republic, where Spaniards and their descendants rule, and Hayti, where negroes hold all governmental power. According to the newspaper's correspondent, the natives of both parts are entirely opposed to the United States obtaining a foothold on the island, and the Dominicans are described as demoralized, heavily armed, and consumed by rapid political revolutions, judicial murders, and private assassinations. Although overtures have been made regarding the sale of Samana to the United States despite local hostility toward foreigners, it is stated that any such treaty would likely be abrogated by the Dominicans if purchased.
El *Worcester Daily Spy* refirió que la isla de Santo Domingo se halla dividida entre la República Dominicana, donde gobiernan los españoles y sus descendientes, y Haití, donde los negros retienen todo el poder político. Según el corresponsal del rotativo, los naturales de ambas partes se oponen tenazmente a que los Estados Unidos sienten pie en la isla, describiéndose a los dominicanos como desmoralizados, fuertemente pertrechados y consumidos por vertiginosas revoluciones políticas, ajusticiamientos judiciales y homicidios privados. Si bien se habían entablado propuestas para la venta de Samaná a los Estados Unidos a pesar de la hostilidad local hacia los extranjeros, se advertía que cualquier tratado de compra probablemente sería revocado por los dominicanos con posterioridad.

The island of St. Domingo, as is well known,
p divided between the go-called republic of
Dominica, and Hayti. In the former the ruling
class is composed of Spaniards and their de
scendants, in the latter ihe negroes Lave all the
powers of the government in their own hands.
The Advertiser’s correspondent assures us
that the idea of the United States obtaining any
foothold in cither part of the island is utterly
distasteful to the natives both of Dominica and
Hayti. Of the character of the former people
I,ogives but a sony picture. They arc said to
be completely demoralized, their attention
entirely directed to political revolutions which
succeed each other with such rapidity that it is
almost impossible to record them. Every man,
and even the boys go loaded down with arms,
the usual armament for ordinary occasions when
no special disturbance is apprehended being, for
each person, a broad bladed sword, one or more
revolvers of large size and a long heavy knife;
when rumors of a revolution are rife, of course
the display of weapons is augmented. The ma
lignancy of private haired and the spirit of fac
tion lead to a constant scries of judicial murders
and private assassinations.
The spirit of jealousy and hatred which ani
mates the people toward all foreigners, and es
pecially to our country, does not prevent over
tares for the sale of Samana to us, but it is said
there is no doubt that, if we should make the
purchase, the treaty would be abrogated by the
Dominicans. The popular opinion in regard to
the proposed sale is said to be thus expressed:
