SummaryResumen

In a letter from his headquarters dated March 5, 1871, General Jose Maria Cabral tells the United States Commissioners, Wade, White and Howe, that he has no power to enter into any negotiations on the annexation of his country, that he has protested against it and that his people have been protesting with arms in their hands for more than a year. He invites the Commissioners to visit the people and his headquarters, but White and Howe reply that a visit is not convenient for the present, while Mr. Wade declines to sign the reply; the correspondent adds that Cabral in fact holds only a small strip of mountainous land along the Neyba River.

En una carta desde su cuartel general fechada el 5 de marzo de 1871, el general José María Cabral dice a los comisionados de los Estados Unidos, Wade, White y Howe, que no tiene poder para entrar en ninguna negociación sobre la anexión de su país, que ha protestado contra ella y que su pueblo lleva más de un año protestando con las armas en la mano. Invita a los comisionados a visitar al pueblo y su cuartel general, pero White y Howe responden que la visita no es conveniente por el momento, mientras el señor Wade se niega a firmar la respuesta; el corresponsal añade que Cabral en realidad solo ocupa una pequeña franja de tierra montañosa a lo largo del río Neyba.
