SummaryResumen
A United States representative reported that Dominican officials expressed concern that both their legislative and executive powers were under European duress and asked if the U.S. would defend their negotiations from European dictation. While the representative expressed confidence in the U.S. Executive and noted that resisting European encroachment is a fundamental doctrine of the American system, they acknowledged that past passive behavior regarding England in Nicaragua and Honduras might mean the U.S. would remain passive regarding France colonizing the Bay of Samana. Despite the representative's efforts to encourage resistance, they admitted the Dominican government was pressed on all sides by France and England.
Un enviado de Estados Unidos comunicó que las autoridades dominicanas exteriorizaron su zozobra de que tanto el poder legislativo como el ejecutivo se hallasen bajo coacción europea, indagando si Washington ampararía sus deliberaciones frente a imposiciones del Viejo Mundo. Aunque el comisionado manifestó confianza en el gobierno norteamericano y recordó que repeler intromisiones europeas era principio medular de la doctrina continental, admitió que la pasividad anterior frente a Inglaterra en Nicaragua y Honduras hacía temer una inacción semejante ante la colonización francesa de la bahía de Samaná. Pese a sus exhortaciones a la firmeza, reconoció que el régimen dominicano se encontraba acosado por doquier por Francia y Gran Bretaña.

who gave me the most conclusive evidence uf
this interference, declared to me they con
sidered both the legislative and executive
powers under European duress, and asked
me to say, in good faith, whether 1 believed
the United States government would defend
the honor and freedom ol the>e negotiations
from European dictation.
“It was a momentous question with the
Dominican people; for, as one of their min
isters truly observed to me, “if the power
ful American Union submits to the dictation
of the allies, it cannot expect the feeble and
unsupported Dominican republic to resist
their wiles, or to sacrifice, perhaps, its very
existence in support ot interests which the
Americans will not defend for themselves.
“Whatever may be the requirements ot
European diplomacy, I know of nothing in
ours which makes it necessary for a repre
sentative of the United States to sacrifice
truth and honor; and I replied candidly to
this appeal, that 1 had full confidence in the
patriotic intentions of the American Exccu
i tive, and that Congress had in various forms
asserted that a firm resistance to European
encroachment on American soil was a tun
darnental doctrine of the American system; i
but 1 was obliged to acknowledge it had per
j initted barefaced violations of this principle
by England at Nicaragua and Honduras,
and it might, therefore, continue passive
while France colonized the Bay of Samana.
“1 did all in my power to induce the Dun

but justice compels me to admit that, pressed j
as it was on every side by France, England,
