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
