SummaryResumen

The *New-York Tribune* reported on the Santo Domingo Central Railroad Company, a corporation organized by New York businessmen under the Foreign Railroad Act of 1883 with a capital of $500,000, which secured valuable concessions and a twenty-year tax exemption from the Dominican Government. General Horatio C. King serves as president, with General King and Henry L. Bean conducting most of the negotiations for the franchise, which was recently amended by the Dominican National Congress to require construction to begin within two years and finish within ten.

El *New-York Tribune* dio cuenta de la fundación de la Santo Domingo Central Railroad Company, corporación constituida por financieros neoyorquinos al amparo de la Ley de Ferrocarriles Extranjeros de 1883 con un capital social de 500.000 dólares, la cual obtuvo del Gobierno dominicano valiosas franquicias y una exención impositiva por veinte años. El general Horatio C. King ocupa la presidencia, habiendo gestionado junto a Henry L. Bean la mayor parte de las cláusulas de la concesión, modificada hace poco por el Congreso Nacional dominicano para estipular que la explanación de las vías se inicie en el plazo de dos años y concluya en un decenio.
