SummaryResumen
According to the *Clarksville Weekly Chronicle*, a British House of Commons committee investigated the negotiation of foreign loans in England, hearing testimony from Mr. Edward Hertzberg Hartmont regarding a Dominican loan nominally valued at $3,788,500. Hartmont testified that he received only $1,800,415 in cash—of which the San Domingo government received merely $230,000—with the remainder spent on arms in Berlin and disbursed in Washington, where Hartmont was sent to work for annexation. The newspaper questions whether the unaccounted-for funds were paid to General Grant's military favorites, such as Babcock, who became suddenly prosperous and invested in real estate, and suggests that the next Congress should investigate the matter.
Según el *Clarksville Weekly Chronicle*, un comité de la Cámara de los Comunes británica investigó la negociación de empréstitos extranjeros en Inglaterra y tomó declaración al Sr. Edward Hertzberg Hartmont acerca de un préstamo dominicano con un valor nominal de 3.788.500 dólares. Hartmont declaró haber recibido únicamente 1.800.415 dólares en efectivo —de los cuales el gobierno de Santo Domingo recibió tan solo 230.000 dólares—, destinándose el resto a la compra de armas en Berlín y a desembolsos en Washington, a donde Hartmont fue enviado para gestionar la anexión. El diario cuestiona si los fondos no rendidos fueron pagados a los militares predilectos del general Grant, tales como Babcock, quien se enriqueció repentinamente e invirtió en bienes raíces, y sugiere que el próximo Congreso debería investigar el asunto.

House of Commons has unpointed
committee to ascertain and report the
methods by which foreign loaus are
negotiated in England. One of the
wituesses on the 15th of April last
was Mr. E lwarJ Ilertzbcrg Hartmout,
who negotiated in a Dominican
loan tor the nominal amount ot $J,
783.500. He confessed that he re
ceived iu cash only $1,800,415. Of this
the Government of San Domingo re
ceived only $230,000, and the remain
der was expended in England and the
United fetates.
liartmont was sent to Washington
to work for annexation, where he tes
tines a large amount of the money
was expended. W ho got Uf lor his
loan of $3,788,500, ilaruiont received
in cash tl,8i0.44j. 1 he difference be
tween $1,8C0,445 and $250,000 is rather
startling. "A part ot it. Mr. liart
mont swears, was sent to "Berlin for
arm.;" but tho rest was disbursed in
Washington.
It was a great sum. To whom was
it paid? About that time several of
Gen. Grant's military favorites became
suddenly prosperous, and invested
their money in the real estate pool
which throve so fabulously under the
two bosses, Shepard and Grant. One
ot these was Babcoek. Is it possible
that liartmont could have paid to him
any part of this vast sum as yet unac
counted for? If uot, to whom? The
next Congress might profitably follow
the example of the House of Commons
and inquire.
