Passage summaryResumen del pasaje
The newspaper reported that the Dominican government's military expenses are estimated at $7,000 monthly, but due to low revenue and nearly worthless paper money, government employees have long gone unpaid, leading to proposed measures to receive real money for duties. Additionally, a geological survey is being conducted by Professor Gal and funded by New York capitalists, while an English engineer named Mr. Wilson is surveying a practicable railroad route from Santiago to Samaná Bay. A monthly steamer between New York and the island supplies the U.S. squadron, carries mails, and fosters trade, with the excerpt noting that under the United States government, Dominica could supply cheap coffee and sugar.
El diario consignó que los gastos militares del gobierno dominicano se calculaban en unos 7.000 pesos mensuales, pero que a causa de la escasez de rentas y la virtual inutilidad del papel moneda, los servidores públicos llevaban largo tiempo sin cobrar sus sueldos, promoviéndose medidas para exigir numerario metálico en el cobro de derechos arancelarios. Por otra parte, el profesor Gabb [Gal en el texto] adelantaba un estudio geológico sufragado por capitalistas neoyorquinos, al tiempo que un ingeniero inglés, el Sr. Wilson, trazaba una posible vía férrea de Santiago a la bahía de Samaná. Un vapor con servicio mensual entre Nueva York y la isla abastecía a la escuadra naval de los Estados Unidos, conducía correspondencia e impulsaba el comercio, observando el extracto que bajo el gobierno estadounidense Santo Domingo podría suministrar café y azúcar a bajo coste.
