SummaryResumen

According to the newspaper, Dominican authorities informed the Commissioners that their current administration has had no diplomatic representation, treaties, or engagements with any government except the United States. The Commissioners also found that undisputed Dominican territory spans 22,212 square miles, with about 1,000 square miles formerly involved in disputes with Hayti. Additionally, after examining government and municipal grants, including records in Samana, the Commissioners found no truth to rumors that land concessions or grants had been made to officials of the Government or the United States during the negotiation of the 1869 annexation treaty.

Según el diario, las autoridades dominicanas manifestaron a los comisionados que la administración en funciones carecía de representaciones diplomáticas, alianzas o compromisos con nación alguna fuera de los Estados Unidos. Los comisionados determinaron igualmente que el territorio dominicano incontestado comprendía 22.212 millas cuadradas, con cerca de 1.000 millas cuadradas sujetas antiguamente a diferendos con Haití. Asimismo, tras registrar los archivos oficiales y municipales, incluidos los protocolos de Samaná, la comisión constató la total falsedad de las imputaciones sobre concesiones de tierras otorgadas a dignatarios del gobierno dominicano o de los Estados Unidos durante la negociación del tratado de anexión de 1869.
