SummaryResumen

The *Belmont Chronicle* reviewed President Grant's 1869 treaties with Dominican President Báez for annexation and a fifty-year lease of Samaná Bay. Although a Dominican plebiscite and an American investigative commission composed of Benjamin Wade, Andrew D. White, and Samuel Gridley Howe supported the measure, concerns over questionable concessions and unfree elections led the United States Senate to reject the treaties.

El *Belmont Chronicle* repasó los tratados celebrados en 1869 por el presidente Grant con el mandatario dominicano Báez para la anexión y el arrendamiento por cincuenta años de la bahía de Samaná. Si bien un plebiscito en suelo dominicano y una comisión investigadora estadounidense compuesta por Benjamin Wade, Andrew D. White y Samuel Gridley Howe refrendaron el convenio, los reparos sobre turbias concesiones y votaciones coaccionadas inclinaron al Senado de los Estados Unidos a rechazar los pactos.
