SummaryResumen
A correspondent of the steamer Tybee, writing from Santo Domingo City on June 22, 1869, describes five lively days loading an assorted cargo of exports and visiting the capital, which he calls the oldest city in the western hemisphere, its site selected by Christopher Columbus. He describes the old walls and fortifications, the chapel built by Columbus and his sundial, the first cathedral with its gilded high altar and silver furnishings, and the many ancient Spanish buildings still in use, in a city whose population is now about half the 20,000 it once held.

Describe las viejas murallas y fortificaciones, la capilla construida por Colón y su reloj de sol, la primera catedral con su altar mayor dorado y sus enseres de plata, y los muchos edificios españoles antiguos todavía en uso, en una ciudad cuya población es ahora cerca de la mitad de los 20,000 habitantes que tuvo una vez.
