SummaryResumen

*The Sun* reviewed President Grant's failed 1870 campaign to annex the Dominican Republic, noting that Grant had personally championed the measure before the Senate rejected it in a tie vote. Following the defeat, Grant redirected his ambitions toward leasing a naval station at Samaná Bay, a harbor whose strategic capacity had been praised by American commissioners since President Polk's administration.
