SummaryResumen
The newspaper reported that Hayti repeatedly sought to subjugate Santo Domingo, whose government eventually appealed to the United States for protection amidst an imminent crisis. In response, the U.S. administration notified Haytian authorities that, pending a decision by Congress on the preliminary annexation treaty, any foreign invasion of Dominican territory would be considered an unfriendly act toward the United States. The author defended this action as a necessary duty in the interest of peace and humanity rather than a violation of international law.
El diario consignó que Haití procuró en reiteradas ocasiones sojuzgar a Santo Domingo, cuyo gobierno acabó solicitando la protección de los Estados Unidos ante una crisis inminente. Como réplica, la administración de Washington notificó a las autoridades haitianas que, mientras el Congreso deliberase sobre las bases del tratado de anexión, toda invasión foránea al territorio dominicano se consideraría un acto hostil hacia los Estados Unidos. El autor justificó dicho proceder como una obligación ineludible en aras de la paz y de la humanidad, y no como una transgresión del derecho internacional.

out of this very negotiation.
What did the Administration do? Just

Was this an outrage? Was it a violation

air-minded man, no matter what his views
oncoming annexation may be, would say
