SummaryResumen

The paper confirms reports that General and Mrs. Cazneau succeeded in their mission to the Dominican Republic and that a treaty was made ceding the port of Samana, on the bay of that name, to the United States, along with a strip of land. The editorial describes Samana Bay, its entrance, islands and harbor, in detail, and denounces the acquisition as a foothold for a slavery-extending government and a first step toward annexation of the island.

El periódico confirma los informes de que el general Cazneau y su esposa tuvieron éxito en su misión a la República Dominicana y de que se firmó un tratado que cede a los Estados Unidos el puerto de Samaná, en la bahía de ese nombre, junto con una franja de tierra. El editorial describe en detalle la bahía de Samaná, su entrada, sus islas y su puerto, y denuncia la adquisición como un punto de apoyo para un gobierno empeñado en extender la esclavitud y como un primer paso hacia la anexión de la isla.
