SummaryResumen
A special report dated July 12, 1869 calls Samana Bay the American Gibraltar of the Antilles and describes it in detail: a mouth twenty-one miles wide between Cape Samana and Cape Raphael, a reach of thirty miles to the mouth of the Yuna River, and sheltering cays and reefs. It also recounts the defeat of Luperon's vessel Telegrafo by the Dominican war schooners Capotillo and Alta Gracia, and presents the bay as the anchorage and fortified naval station the United States would gain by possessing it.
