LAND OF CHANGES
Santo Domingo Has Undergone
Many Vicissit'''
Oldest Permanent Settlement on Amer.
lean Soil, II Has Failed to Full
fill Its Early Promise.

Santo Domingo Is rich in historic in
terest, says Samuel Guy Inman in the
course of an article in the Pan-Amer-
lean Magazine. 1t Is the Oldest of all
OF the permanent settlements on Amer
lean soil. Here Columbus founded
various colonies, and Santo Domingo
city became his favorite Of all the
New world. 1t was here that he spent
some Of the happiest time of his life,
and here that he was reduced to pris-
on by his political enemies and from
here he was sent in chains and dis.
grace to Spain. The old tower where
he was imprisoned still remains and
his, bones lie in the great cathedral Of
Santo Domingo City.
In this oldest city Of the New world
one still sees the remains Of the first
church built in America. Its founda-
tions were laid In 1902. Here is the
house where Cortez kept the court rec
ords before he had ever heard Of Mex
leo. From here Ponce de Leon set
out in his search for the Fountain Of
Youth. Here lived Pizarro before he
went to Panama and sailed down the
west coast to conquer the Inca EN-.
pire. Everywhere one turns he en-
counters old landmarks where the fam
Gus conquistadores had their first e1-
periences in the New world. Padre
de las Casas entered the priesthood
here, and in his indignation because
Of the abuse Of the Indians by the
Spaniards began to import slaves from
Africa to make lighter the work Of
the Indian laborers. Here was found
ed the first university Of the New
world, when in 1888 royal charter
was granted for the establishment Of
the University Of st. Thomas.
Unfortunately this glorious history
was not maintained. Fifty years after
the first settlement tie Indians had
almost been e1terminatad by the cruel
ty Of their masters and the finest Of
the cOnQuistadores had moved on to
conquer new and glorious worlds. For
nearly three centuries Santo Domingo
dropped out of the notice Of the world.
In the early part Of the Nineteenth
century, when the other Spanish col
onies were declaring their independ-
ence and establishing republics, Santo
Domingo endeavored to join this move
ment, but she was oyerpowered by the
negro despot Of Hayti, and was held
under the dominance Of the negro re-
public until 1874. Then followed twen-
ty years Of Independent life, filed with
revolution, after which the country
again put itself under Spain for some
FIVE years. Again declaring itself as
a republic, 1t entered an independent
existence until 1916, when the govern
ment was taken over by the United
States navy.
