More on Samaná BayMás sobre Bahía de Samaná

SummaryResumen

According to the *Chicago Daily Tribune*, the Samana Bay Company promised Baez it would use its influence with Congress to bring Dominican products into United States ports duty-free, while the treaty uniquely exempted the Company's members from U.S. Register and Navigation laws regarding the purchase of foreign ships. Additionally, the Associated Press reported from New York that the Company is expected to seek United States Government protection, lease a naval station in the bay, and agitate for annexation utilizing powerful lobby interests.

Según el *Chicago Daily Tribune*, la Samaná Bay Company prometió a Báez empeñar sus influencias ante el Congreso para franquear la entrada libre de aranceles a los frutos dominicanos en los puertos de los Estados Unidos, al tiempo que el pacto exoneraba insólitamente a los integrantes de la corporación de las leyes de matrícula y navegación naval en la adquisición de naves extranjeras. Por añadidura, la Associated Press informó desde Nueva York que la compañía procuraría el amparo oficial del gobierno estadounidense, arrendaría un apostadero naval en la bahía y desplegaría una vasta campaña anexionista mediante poderosos grupos de cabildeo.

Pacific and other railroads when Congress was

giving away the public domain. Every league

of railroad constructed by the Company brings

its square league of land, and every three,

leagues of telegraph, a square league grant.

Tho Company promised Baez to use all their

influence with Congress to bring Dominican

products into tho ports of tho United States,

free of dutv, which would be a singular discrim

ination against other tropical countries.

A most extraordinary feature of tho treaty is

that it frees tho men composing tho Company

from tho operation of our Register and Naviga

tion laws. Under the acta of Congress, Ameri

can merchants cannot buy ships abroad. This

Company, though composed mostly of Ameri

cans, can buy ships where it can buy them

cheapest, for It has bought a flag under which

to run them.

Tho Herald says on this head: A few Judi

cious alliances with American railway monopo

lies would the Company as powerful in tbo

United States as in St. Domingo, and in tho end.

it might rule us as effectually as our tan-colored

brethren in the -West Indies.

[7b the A seociated Press,}

New York, Jan. 18.—A great deal of specula

tion is rife in this city as to the Samana Bay.

Company seeking aid from the United States

Government in farthering its objects. It is

thought that tho Company will endeavor first to

obtain tho formal protection of our Govern

ment, and, if possible, to lease it a naval station

in tho bay, and. further, to agitato tho idea of

annexation. Already it is stated that powerful

lobby interests are to bo created with those ends
