SummaryResumen
A Herald dispatch from Samana reports local claims that there is no sickness there worth speaking about, while cautioning that the people have every motive to make a favorable impression on the Commission. The writer finds the climate agreeable and the breezes on the bay balmy, the soil rich and the vegetation luxuriant with palms and coconut groves, but notes that little is raised for market except a few oranges and coconuts, and that improving the country is above all a question of labor.
Un despacho del Herald desde Samaná recoge las afirmaciones locales de que allí no hay enfermedades de las que valga la pena hablar, advirtiendo a la vez que la gente tiene todos los motivos para causar una impresión favorable a la Comisión. El autor encuentra el clima agradable y las brisas de la bahía templadas, el suelo rico y la vegetación exuberante con palmeras y cocotales, pero señala que poco se cultiva para el mercado salvo unas cuantas naranjas y cocos, y que mejorar el país es ante todo una cuestión de mano de obra.
