SummaryResumen

An editorial presents a first look at the 'dreamland' in St. Domingo that speculators of the Samana Bay Company have fenced in with treaties, leases and powers, describing Santa Barbara as a delightful spot, the bay as first-class anchorage, and the soil as fertile. It notes that the $150,000 paid to Baez smoothed away much of the first difficulty and that Baez's ministers reported 22,000 votes cast for the treaty, while questioning what would happen when the people saw how little of the company's money reached beyond Baez's coffers.

Un editorial presenta una primera mirada al 'país de ensueño' en Santo Domingo que los especuladores de la Samana Bay Company han cercado con tratados, arrendamientos y poderes, describiendo Santa Bárbara como un lugar encantador, la bahía como un fondeadero de primera clase, y el suelo como fértil. Señala que los 150.000 dólares pagados a Báez allanaron gran parte de la primera dificultad y que los ministros de Báez informaron de 22.000 votos a favor del tratado, mientras se pregunta qué pasará cuando la gente vea lo poco del dinero de la compañía que llega más allá de las arcas de Báez.
