SummaryResumen
In a conversation with senators on Friday, the President urged the ratification of the treaty to acquire San Domingo, warning that otherwise the territory might be offered to a European government, thereby undermining the Monroe Doctrine. He presented evidence that the majority of the people voted for annexation and that insurrectionary leaders, whose rebellion lacked strength after being cut off from Hayti, were not inherently opposed to it. Furthermore, the President expressed his belief that acquiring San Domingo would immediately benefit U.S. commerce and the Darien canal, while potentially leading to broader territorial control of the Gulf islands.
En conferencia con senadores el viernes, el presidente encareció la pronta ratificación del tratado para incorporar a Santo Domingo, advirtiendo de que, en caso contrario, dicho territorio podría ser brindado a una potencia europea en quebranto de la doctrina Monroe. Exhibió pruebas de que la generalidad de la ciudadanía sufragó a favor de la anexión y de que los caudillos insurrectos, cuyas fuerzas languidecían al quedar desasistidos desde Haití, no repudiaban la medida en esencia. Manifestó asimismo su convicción de que la anexión de Santo Domingo acarrearía inmediatos provechos al tráfico marítimo estadounidense y al proyectado canal del Darién, franquando de paso el control de las islas del Golfo.

them—arc based on the public and political ad
vantages which belong to the acquisition. In
the conversation had with senators on Friday
last, at the capitol, the president urged the rati
fication of the treaty upon the ground, among
others, that if we failed, the people of San Do
mingo could, and probably would, offer them
selves and territory to some European govern
ment, being determined to obtain security and
prosperity. The president asked how, in that
case, could we make the Monroe doctrine opera
tive. He presented evidence and reports Irom
San Domingo which went toward establishing the
fact that the great body of the people had voted
for annexation. That the insurrectionary lead
ers were not opposed per re to such annexation
was shown by official copies of documents in the
Dominican records, proving that Cafral and
others had made similar advances to those car
ried out by Baez. It is not tlic doing, but the
management that they fight. The insurrection
had but little strength, being cut off by Admiral
Poor's remonstrance to the Sagct government
from such supplies as they bad expected from
Hayti.
President Grant makes no secret of his belief
that the acquisition of San Domingo upon the
present easy terms, as they arc called, will lead
peaceably and rapidly to not only our commer
cial and political, but territorial control ot the
Gulf islands, at an early day. He is not
anxious for a rapid consummation of this, but
desires San Domingo now because it will give a
direct and rapid impetus to our commerce, and
will at once favorably affect the Darien canal
