SummaryResumen

The *San Francisco Call* reported that the warship *Detroit* was ordered to Samana Bay, where U.S. officials had previously negotiated for a coaling station. While naval authorities claimed the visit was merely to display the American flag, the deployment was also expected to expedite the arbitration of a contract claim by American citizen Nathaniel McKay against the Dominican government. The report also mentioned pending arbitration proposals regarding American claims in Haiti.

El *San Francisco Call* informó que el buque de guerra *Detroit* recibió órdenes de dirigirse a la bahía de Samaná, donde funcionarios estadounidenses habían negociado previamente una estación carbonera. Si bien las autoridades navales afirmaron que la visita solo tenía por objeto mostrar la bandera estadounidense, se esperaba también que el despliegue acelerara el arbitraje de una reclamación contractual del ciudadano estadounidense Nathaniel McKay contra el gobierno dominicano. El informe mencionó igualmente propuestas pendientes de arbitraje respecto a reclamaciones estadounidenses en Haití.

Gherardi recommended that a coaling

station be established, and Mr. Bmythe,

the I'nited States. It is declared by

department officials that the only pur

Detroit to visit Samana Bay is to dis

play the American flag In that section,

and that there is no ulterior object in

view:

It will be recalled that the President

recently considered the advisability of

dispatching an American man-of-war

to San Domingo to collect the claim of

Nathaniel McKay of this dty, because

of the failure of the Dominican Gov

ernment to carry out the provisions of

a contract entered into with the Amer

bridge. That Government recently

agreed to submit the claim to arbitra
