SummaryResumen
The *New-York Tribune* reported on January 13, 1870, that while the islands of the Gulf and San Domingo naturally gravitated toward the United States through trade and statesmanship, immediate annexation might be fraught with peril, though leasing Samana Bay remained a good idea. The article noted that the U.S. government might encounter competing claims or leases regarding Samana Bay, highlighting a "sharp colored American" mariner who bought land there five years prior and now owns a considerable portion of the available water frontage, coal lands, and valuable property where a naval station would likely be located.
El *New-York Tribune* expuso el 13 de enero de 1870 que, si bien las islas del golfo y Santo Domingo gravitaban de forma natural hacia los Estados Unidos por imperativos mercantiles y geopolíticos, una anexión inmediata entrañaba graves riesgos, considerándose no obstante acertado el arrendamiento de la bahía de Samaná. El escrito prevenía que el gobierno estadounidense podría afrontar títulos contrapuestos o derechos de arriendo en la zona, destacando a un «sagaz marino estadounidense de color» que adquirió tierras allí un lustro antes y retenía una porción considerable de la ribera marítima, terrenos carboníferos y valiosas heredades donde previsiblemente se asentaría el apostadero naval.
