More on Samaná BayMás sobre Bahía de Samaná

SummaryResumen

According to the *New-York tribune* on January 4, 1873, the Dominican Republic faces constant threats of invasion from Hayti, maintaining a costly army that paralyzes municipal rights, and fears being seized by Spain or another foreign power. These factors have led many Dominicans to desire annexation to the United States on terms of reciprocity following its victory over slavery. Additionally, the excerpt notes that the previous project by the American President and Congress to acquire possession of the Bay of Samana was ultimately defeated by Congress.

De acuerdo con el *New-York Tribune* del 4 de enero de 1873, la República Dominicana afronta incesantes amenazas bélicas desde Haití, mantiene un ejército oneroso que cercena los derechos de los municipios y abriga el constante temor de caer presa de España o de otra potencia extranjera. Estos motivos han inducido a numerosos dominicanos a desear la anexión a los Estados Unidos sobre bases de reciprocidad tras la erradicación de la esclavitud en esa nación. El texto recuerda asimismo que el primitivo plan del presidente y del Congreso estadounidenses para adueñarse de la bahía de Samaná resultó finalmente desestimado por el legislativo.
