SummaryResumen

The newspaper reported that President Grant and Senator Sumner misunderstood each other during a meeting, with Sumner believing the President wanted him to defend General Babcock's financial expenditures while the President intended to discuss the treaty for acquiring the Dominican Republic. The following morning, General Babcock visited Senator Sumner with a copy of the treaty, which included a stipulation detailing President Grant's promise to use his influence to make the annexation of the Dominican Republic popular among members of Congress.
