SummaryResumen

According to the Burlington weekly free press on January 31, 1873, U.S. Commissioners reported that a convention regarding a contract in the Dominican Republic was submitted to a public vote to prevent future administrative interference, with voting underway on the 9th inst. The Commissioners expressed confidence that the popular vote would be nearly or quite unanimous for ratification, making the convention part of the Republic's fundamental law. Additionally, they noted receiving good wishes from leading foreign merchants and European consular representatives, along with assurances that the free port and city of Samana could quickly attract a large population from various West Indian islands.

Según el *Burlington Weekly Free Press* del 31 de enero de 1873, los comisionados de los Estados Unidos informaron que la convención relativa a un contrato en la República Dominicana se sometió a plebiscito popular para conjurar futuras injerencias de gobiernos venideros, habiéndose iniciado la votación el día 9 del corriente. Los delegados manifestaron su certidumbre de que el sufragio popular respaldaría casi unánimemente la ratificación, elevando la convención a rango de ley fundamental de la república. Añadieron haber recibido parabienes de los principales mercaderes foráneos y agentes consulares europeos, junto con el augurio de que la ciudad y puerto franco de Samaná atraerían prontamente una copiosa corriente inmigratoria proveniente de diversas islas antillanas.
