SummaryResumen
A Washington article traces the money behind the Samana lease to a West India fund obtained by Thaddeus Stevens, saying Seward took $100,000 of it on his West Indies trip and General Babcock took the balance of $150,000, with which he leased the Bay of Samana. With that fund now exhausted, the article says, Senators friendly to the administration asked Representative Dawes to bring in a bill appropriating $150,000 for the payment now due to Fabens, but Dawes refused because there is no law for it, and Senator Sumner is quoted as saying the whole proceeding is without a shadow of law.
Un artículo de Washington atribuye el dinero del arrendamiento de Samaná a un fondo para las Indias Occidentales obtenido por Thaddeus Stevens, y dice que Seward se llevó 100.000 dólares de ese fondo en su viaje a las Indias Occidentales y que el general Babcock se llevó el resto, 150.000 dólares, con los que arrendó la bahía de Samaná. Agotado ya ese fondo, dice el artículo, senadores afines a la administración pidieron al representante Dawes que presentara un proyecto para asignar 150.000 dólares para el pago que ahora se debe a Fabens, pero Dawes se negó porque no existe ley que lo autorice, y se cita al senador Sumner diciendo que todo el procedimiento carece de la menor base legal.

appropriated, and soon after Seward,
with his son and Admiral Porter, start
ed for the est Indies. They took with
them $100,000 out of Thad's West India
fund, and spent the most of it. As is
well known, this trip did not result in
anything. When (Jeneral Babcock
went to St. Domtngo he took the bal
ance of this Seward -Stevens fund,
150,000, with which he leased the
Bay of Samana. This fund is now
exhausted, so that Knvov Fabens will
not be able to collect his rent
from that source. It is stated that a
couple of Senators, friends of the ad
ministration. visited Mr. Dawes, chair
man of the House Committee on Ap
propriations, and requested him to
bring in a bill appropriat:ng $150,00*1
for the payment now due. Dawes, who
is a very careful fellow, and who does
not seem to be aware of the existence
of the "extra article"' of the treatv,
positively refused to complv with the
request, for the reason, as he alleged,
that there is no law for it. He
told the Senators that he could
only make appropriations which
are authorized by law. Should Mr.
Dawes adhere to his determination
it^ is difficult to see where Mr. Fabens
will get his rent. It might be taken
out of the State Department Secret
Service fund, but of late years this
fund has been limited. L'ist vear it
was cut down from I. 10,000 fo"$K)0,
000. This year Judge Kelsey, who has
charge of the Diplomatic and Consular
appropriation bill, savs he intends to
keep it down to $100,000. This will
not be sufficient for the payment of Mr. I
Pahens little lull. Senator Sumner
