SummaryResumen

The *New-York Tribune* warned that using violence against San Domingo would provoke widespread alarm and hatred throughout South America. The article also described the island's history—including its discovery by Columbus, its division between Haiti and San Domingo, Spain's 1861 reannexation and subsequent 1863–1865 defeat, and Dominican independence—while noting that Buenaventura Baez has served as President since 1867 and is one of the negotiators of the annexation treaty.

done to San Domingo will raise a cry of alarm

which will resound in all South America, and with

will ever deserve.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION,

San Domingo is the larger portion of what was once

by Spain, was lost and repossessed by that
