Many Of u readers no doubt are in
terested in the late accession which will,
It is said, cost the government the sum
OF >5,O09,OOO. The bay of SANTANA with
nVe miles OF adjacent lani is the con-
sloeIatlon which we receive in return.
The bay OF SANTANA is on the south side
Of b peninsular Of that name. Situated
on the northeast coast Of the island IN
Hayh. The bay is forty-three miles in
length from east 10 west, and abont
eight Biles broad. The Yuma fbs
largest river in San Domingo, empties
itself in at its west end, and il has great
Hatural facilities for repairing or careep-
ing vessels Of the largest bIrthen. Sa-
mana, beside being ono Of the finest har-
bors in the world, occupies a most i'm
portant position with reference TO the
various inter oceanic routes TO the West
Indies, the Gulf OF Mexico and Central
America. 1t commands the Mona pas-
sage-the principal entrance to the
Caribbean sea for vessels from Europe
from which strait it is not more than
sixty or seventy miles distant and it is
not much more than three times that
distance from the windward passage be-
tween Hayh and Cuba. It's possession
would be OF incalculabie value to the
United States, both in a commercial
point OF view, and as regards the advan-
tages 10 offers for a naval station. 1t
would, in fact, be made TO the Caribbean
and the Gulf what Gibraltar IS to the
Mediterranean. 1t is said that a portion
Of the peninsula is TO be coded along
with the bay. The soil of the peninsula
is described as exceedingly fertile, and
the climate, although tropical, is BY no
means insalubrious. SANTANA can be
easily reached from New York in four
days by steamer.
