SummaryResumen
A section of the commissioners' report describes life on the Samana peninsula, where the only schools the party could hear of included a small private school of not more than 20 pupils, started by the late Rev. Dr. Judd and now kept by his son at a dollar a month in tuition. It notes that the Methodists, whose meeting house was burned by the Spanish troops in 1863, are building a new one to hold 500 persons, that settlers of American descent are regarded as the foremost men in the settlement, and that farming is done on small plots of three to five acres with heavy hoes, picks and machetes rather than ploughs.
Una sección del informe de los comisionados describe la vida en la península de Samaná, donde las únicas escuelas de las que el grupo pudo tener noticia incluían una pequeña escuela privada de no más de 20 alumnos, fundada por el difunto reverendo Dr. Judd y ahora a cargo de su hijo, con una matrícula de un dólar al mes. Señala que los metodistas, cuya casa de reunión fue quemada por las tropas españolas en 1863, están construyendo una nueva con capacidad para 500 personas, que los pobladores de ascendencia estadounidense son considerados los hombres más destacados del asentamiento y que la agricultura se hace en pequeñas parcelas de tres a cinco acres con azadas pesadas, picos y machetes en vez de arados.

20 pupils, which was started by Rev Dr Judd,
now dead, and is now under the charge of his
son. The tuition is $1 per month. We could I
hear of no other school on the peninsula, and
were assured that there is no other church. The
former minister here was Rev Mr Vander
horst, whose son, Peter R., a trader, is the most
intelligent man I have met in Samana. His pat
ronymic will be recognized by the old Knicker
bocker aristocracy. He and Mr James affirm
that “those of American descent are the fore
most men in the settlement, always have to go
ahead, and are depended on for efficient action.”
Thev state that there is no interference between
the churches, and that though the priest might
grumble, no Catholic is molested for attending
their church, the meeting house of the Metho
dists was burned by the Spanish troops in -1863,
and they are building a new one to hold 500 per
sons, on the hill at the west end of the village,
overlooking the extensive flat still farther west,
where hundreds, some say thousands of their
persecutors lie buried, smitten by the merciless
pestilence.
