SummaryResumen
The *sun* reviewed Otto Schoenrich's book on Santo Domingo, highlighting the country's lack of infrastructure, with only 144 miles of railroad and inland roads reduced to muddy trails. The excerpt also examined the historical dispute over the burial place of Christopher Columbus between Spain and the Dominican Republic. Schoenrich concluded from 1877 cathedral excavations that Spain had mistakenly removed the remains of Diego Columbus, leaving Christopher Columbus's body in Santo Domingo.
El *sun* reseñó el libro de Otto Schoenrich sobre Santo Domingo, destacando la deficiencia de obras camineras en el país, que contaba con apenas 144 millas de líneas férreas y caminos interiores reducidos a lodazales. El extracto examinó asimismo la histórica disputa entre España y la República Dominicana sobre el sitio de enterramiento de Cristóbal Colón. Schoenrich concluía, sobre la base de las excavaciones efectuadas en la catedral en 1877, que España había retirado por error los restos de Diego Colón, quedando el cuerpo de Cristóbal Colón en Santo Domingo.

"There are only 144 miles of railroad
in the republic, and the other lines of
communication overland can be called
roads only as a matter of courtesy, being
in fact little better than mere trails.
This explains why most of the important
towns arc on the sea coast, where they
can be reached by water. One day when
travelling on the high road near Ia Vega
the author encountered an old man who
was in actual danger of being drowned
in the liquid mud; he took a snapshot of
the victim while he was being extricated
by a good Samaritan who was passing by.
Santo Domingo is not only proud of
having been discovered and acquired by
Christopher Columbus; it also claims to
be his burial place. "The same honor is
claimed by Spain, but a Dominican would
consider it almost treasonable to doubt
the justice of the Dominican claim." That
the body of Columbus was brought from
Spain, where he died, and deposited in
the cathedral in Santo Domingo city,
where it remained until 1795, is unques
tionable. The doubt arises in reference to the
claim of the Spaniards that they removed
the remains to Cuba in 1795, whence they
were taken back to Spain after the Spanish-American
war of 1898. Excavations
made in the Dominican Cathedral in 1877
satisfied the Dominicans that the body
removed by the Spaniards was really that
of Diego Columbus and that the remains
of his father were still in the cathedral
vault.
Mr. Schoenrich reviews the evidence
in detail and concludes that the Domini
can contention is correct. It is sustained
