SummaryResumen

The *New-York Tribune* reported that Mr. Báez proposed that President Grant establish a U.S. protectorate over Santo Domingo to guard against attacks and influences from Hayti, having exhausted other resources after the failure of annexation and the Samana Bay enterprise. Báez also forwarded a disavowed treaty between Hayti and Santo Domingo containing a clause against alienating territory to foreign powers, attempting to provoke national jealousy regarding European machinations. President Grant laid the communication before Congress without making any recommendations, and the scheme was deemed unlikely to receive favor from the National Legislature.

El *New-York Tribune* informó que el Sr. Báez propuso al presidente Grant erigir un protectorado estadounidense sobre Santo Domingo para repeler las agresiones e influencias procedentes de Haití, habiendo agotado todos sus recursos tras frustrarse la anexión y la empresa de la Samaná Bay Company. Báez remitió asimismo un desautorizado convenio entre Haití y Santo Domingo provisto de una cláusula prohibitiva de toda cesión territorial a potencias foráneas, en una tentativa de azuzar los celos geopolíticos frente a maquinaciones europeas. El presidente Grant dio traslado de dicha comunicación al Congreso sin formular recomendación alguna, juzgándose improbable que el parlamento dispensase una acogida favorable al proyecto.

had seen too much of Santo Domingo to take

its diplomacy seriously.

Mr. Baez proposes to President Grant to

establish a protectorate over Santo Domingo,

which shall guard the Republic from the direct

attacks of Hayti, as well as the more insidious

assaults upon its life set on foot among rebel

lious Dominicans by Haytien influences. It

was this consideration which dictated the an-

nexation movement, and when this failed the

same purposes informed the negotiations which

resulted in the cession of Samana Bay to

the company called by its name. But this en-

terprise has apparently not furnished the pro-

tection which the Baez Government requires,

and the President, mn this despairing appeal,

acknowledges himself at the end of

his resources. He makes an effort to rouse

our national jealousy by inclosing a corre-

spondence in regard to a project of a treaty

deawn up between the representatives of

Hayti and Santo Domingo in Paris, one clause

of which binds both Republics never to alien-

ate or mortgage any portion of their territory

to any foreign power. This treaty was

promptly disavowed and rejected by Mr. Baez,

who sends it to us as a proof of the machina-

tions of European Powers to prevent our ac-

quiring a foothold in the Caribbean Sea.

Having received this communication from

the President of a friendly Power, the Gov-

ernment could do no less than lay it before

Congress. The President discreetly avoided

making any recommendation in regard to the

matter. It is not likely that the scheme will

receive any favor from the National Legisla-
