More on Samaná BayMás sobre Bahía de Samaná

SummaryResumen

This article argues that Samana Bay, on the eastern coast of Santo Domingo, is one of the great maritime positions of the Antilles, a harbour from which operations could be conducted by any kind of war vessel and in which a blockaded fleet might lie in safety. It praises the island's fertility, rivalling Cuba's, and its possible products of tobacco, coffee, indigo, sugar, cocoa, fruits and vegetables, noting that millions of acres lie wild for lack of cultivators and transport, and recalls the era of comparative peace under President Heureaux, who was assassinated on July 26, 1899.
