SummaryResumen

In a Senate speech against annexing San Domingo, Mr. Morrill argues that the Bay of Samana would be a source of weakness rather than a defensive point, and that the Dominican people would prove a serious political, moral and financial encumbrance. He says Dominican commerce has steadily declined, the island would yield no revenue, and the United States would have to pay for a civil service, a permanent naval squadron, regiments of soldiers, harbors and railroads, while placing little reliance on claims that Dominicans favor annexation.

En un discurso en el Senado contra la anexión de Santo Domingo, el señor Morrill sostiene que la bahía de Samana sería una fuente de debilidad y no un punto defensivo, y que el pueblo dominicano resultaría una carga política, moral y financiera seria. Dice que el comercio dominicano ha disminuido constantemente, que la isla no produciría ingresos y que los Estados Unidos tendrían que pagar una administración civil, una escuadra naval permanente, regimientos de soldados, puertos y ferrocarriles, mientras da poco crédito a las afirmaciones de que los dominicanos favorecen la anexión.
