SummaryResumen
The *New York Herald* argued that if the United States desires Samaná or any part of St. Domingo, it should simply purchase the territory to avoid future disputes, while criticizing the current government's policy as timid and narrow-minded. The newspaper also questioned whether the administration's sudden emphasis on the importance of the Bay of Samaná was a subterfuge designed to cover up its weak policy regarding Cuba.
*The New York Herald* sostuvo que, si los Estados Unidos ambicionan la bahía de Samaná o cualquier otra comarca de Santo Domingo, debieran comprar llanamente el territorio para prevenir futuros litigios, fustigando la conducta del actual gabinete estadounidense como pusilánime y estrecha de miras. El diario cuestionó además si el súbito interés de la administración por la bahía de Samaná constituía un subterfugio para encubrir su endeble ejecutoria frente a la cuestión cubana.

of the island of St, Domingo, let us buy it and
havo no farther trouble about the matter, or
any possible dispute hereafter. Our govern

ruler or country or clique of speculators. It

narrow-minded and timid course is enough to
make every American citizen feel ashamod of
his government.
The most curious and significant thing about
this Samana business Is that the administra
tion, or rather the Secretary of 8tatet appears
very desirous of making a great fcu about it
just now, and of representing that leased pos
session as more important than the island or
Cuba. If we relied upon the glowing accounts
given of tbe Bay of Samana and the official
action so far concerning it, we might suppose
it the most valuable possession in the Antilles.
Indeed, it has been stated that this bay would
be of more advantage to the United States
than the aunexation of Cuba. Ia this absurd
statement another dodge to cover up the
weakness and miserable policy of the adminis

ment suppose it ean blind the American
people by any such wretched subterfiige
Yes, let us have the Bay of Samana but let
