SummaryResumen

The *New-York Tribune* commented satirically on the sixth exile of former Dominican President Buenaventura Báez, who had slipped away on a small boat after decades of fluctuating between power and banishment. The paper noted Báez's past attempt to lease Dominican territory to the Samaná Bay Company and predicted he would inevitably return to challenge rivals such as Luperón and González.

El *New-York Tribune* comentó con tono satírico el sexto destierro del expresidente dominicano Buenaventura Báez, quien se marchó furtivamente en una pequeña embarcación tras décadas alternando entre el mando supremo y la proscripción. La publicación evocó las pretéritas tentativas de Báez para arrendar suelo patrio a la Samana Bay Company y auguró que retornaría indefectiblemente a medir fuerzas con rivales de la talla de Luperón y González.

Jionld be delighted, because’going behind the re-

turns is the only form of National amuse-

ment besides cock-fighting, and there is

likely to ba an uncommonly promising

crop of returns to get behind this year. And yet

the dispateh asserts that “an uneasy feeling exists,”

If such a feeling really has a local habitgtion, it

probably exists in the bosom of Sehor Buena-

ventura Baez, who is now for the sixth

time in exile, and who is sometimes restless

during his periods of expatriation. One dark

night in February last this chieftain climbed into

the Dominican Navy, which was formerly a pilot

boat in this harbor, and sailed out into the ever-

tepid erystal seas,” But he didn’t go to stay;

Le never does. It is thirty years since

he first bezan to be president, but his

eye 1s not dimmed nor his natural force

abated, and he is liable to survive alternate election

and exile for many years to come. A ruler who was

willing to trade off his country to the

Samana Bay Company for $150,000 can

hardly be considered a national deliverer

of the highest type, but, after all, he seems

to be about the crowning product of Dominican

civilization, and the sooner he returns, drives Lu-

peron back to the Haytian marches, sends Gonza-

les across the mountains to Puerta Plata, withja flea

in his ear, and borrows enough money on a cargo of

bananas to set the wheels of government in motion,

the better it will be for our sistor Republic,

PE

Charity grows more systematic with every year.

An excellent suggestion in this direction has been

made lately in Paris—the snzgestion of what may
