SummaryResumen
In Senate debate over the Samana Bay lease, Senator Harlan confirmed that under the lease the United States was in possession of Samana Bay and the American flag was floating there, and that the lease had been made under an appropriation by Congress with a provision for renewal. He argued that the government in possession was simply declaring it would defend that possession if anyone tried to wrest it away, and he attacked the long speeches made against the Grant administration over the affair.
En el debate del Senado sobre el arrendamiento de la bahía de Samaná, el senador Harlan confirmó que, en virtud del arrendamiento, los Estados Unidos estaban en posesión de la bahía de Samaná y la bandera americana ondeaba allí, y que el arrendamiento se había hecho al amparo de una asignación del Congreso con una disposición para su renovación. Sostuvo que el gobierno en posesión simplemente declaraba que defendería esa posesión si alguien intentaba arrebatársela, y atacó los largos discursos pronunciados contra la administración de Grant por este asunto.
