SummaryResumen

Since the acquisition of Samana by the United States government was announced, many have contended it is only the preliminary move toward possession of the whole island, and the paper's correspondents report that Dominicans themselves favor annexation. Before leaving office Secretary Seward had received President Baez's proposition for an American protectorate, which a House committee majority favored but which was defeated in Congress for lack of information about Dominican affairs, and New York business men are now discussing Samana's commercial value under a fifty years' lease, with a bank, lumber companies and coal and copper mines already being talked of.

Desde que se anunció la adquisición de Samaná por el gobierno de los Estados Unidos, muchos han sostenido que es solo el paso preliminar hacia la posesión de toda la isla, y los corresponsales del periódico informan que los propios dominicanos favorecen la anexión. Antes de dejar el cargo, el secretario Seward había recibido la proposición del presidente Báez de un protectorado estadounidense, que la mayoría de una comisión de la Cámara favoreció pero que fue derrotada en el Congreso por falta de información sobre los asuntos dominicanos, y los hombres de negocios de Nueva York discuten ahora el valor comercial de Samaná bajo un arrendamiento de cincuenta años, hablándose ya de un banco, compañías madereras y minas de carbón y cobre.
