SummaryResumen

President Baez tells the commission he himself held an election with a perfectly free vote to obtain the true sentiment of the people. A Tribune correspondent's account of Santa Barbara de Samana follows, describing a poor village of 80 or 90 bamboo and palm-thatched buildings along half a mile of shore, with about 250 inhabitants in the village and about 3,000 on the whole peninsula, a majority of the villagers speaking English.
