Passage summaryResumen del pasaje

The *New York Dispatch* reported that while the Dominican Republic cannot be left in the hands of Spain, Samana cannot be converted into an American center controlled by Spanish policy. Consequently, the Dominicans offered Manzanillo Bay as an absolutely free port, along with a neutral frontier belt alongside Hayti and the proposal for another free and neutral port on the south coast.

El *New York Dispatch* expuso que, si bien la República Dominicana no puede permanecer en manos de España, Samaná no puede convertirse en un enclave estadounidense tutelado por la política española. Por consiguiente, los dominicanos ofrecieron la bahía de Manzanillo como puerto absolutamente franco, además de una franja fronteriza neutral lindante con Haití y la propuesta de habilitar otro puerto franco y neutral en la costa sur.

Spanish ideas of policy, which have not yet emancipated

themselves from the Don fetters of the dark ages. So qt

the happy resurrection of au oid State memorandum

opened another and belter path of deliverance. Instead

of Samana, Manzanillo Bay Is offered by the Domincans

as an absolutely free port, together with a neutral frontier

whole line of division with Hayti. They offer yet another

free and neutral port on the south coa«t of the island,

should a suitable place be found to occur at tho other end

cf the Jianda Frontera corresponding with the harbor of

Manzanillo on tHe north. The Dominicans desire Hayti to
