In the western portion of Hayti, covering about one-third of the area of the island, is established the Republic of Hayti, Port au Prince being its capital. The eastern division of the same island, and by far the most mountainous, constitutes the Republic of Dominica, of which San Domingo is the capital. The Mona Passage, another entrance from the Atlantic to the Caribbean Sea, separates on that side Hayti from the island of Porto Rico, the strait that divides them being about the same breadth as the Windward Passage--twenty-five miles. It will thus be seen that Hayti lies exactly midway between Cuba and Porto Rico, both of which are Spanish dependencies, and any Power holding these three islands would be in possession of the ocean gateways to the Gulf
