SummaryResumen
*The New York Herald* reported that Dominican envoy Pujol sought to offer Samaná or Manzanillo to the United States as a naval station, even as a free gift without requiring prior formal recognition. However, Secretary of State Seward, reportedly influenced by the Spanish minister, refused to grant Pujol an interview or acknowledge the Dominican Republic. The paper criticized the State Department for repeatedly disregarding strategic American opportunities in Samaná to accommodate Spanish interests.

El diario censuró al Departamento de Estado por desaprovechar reiteradamente ventajas estratégicas estadounidenses en Samaná en deferencia a los intereses españoles.

waive official recognition until our government
should sutislv Itself that the restored republic was
ilefmio the Power in possession of the Domlnlcun

Seward grant for the private, unofficial review of the
situation. The influence and the interests of
Spain ruled supreme In the Department of State.
Samana and the Dominican mission was ignored in

years later Samana and tne Dominican mission was
again rejected on the theory tiiat Spain alone ought
to rule it. In neither case did the dogma that
