SummaryResumen

Based on the provided newspaper excerpt, the Provisional Government of Santo Domingo declared the Samana Bay Convention null and void after special commissioners of the Samana Bay Company failed to reach an amicable settlement. In response, the commissioners protested the act as arbitrary and illegal, demanded arbitration, and announced plans to request protection from the United States Government. Meanwhile, the island was experiencing great excitement over potential loans from Hayti or England, and the installation of President-elect González was delayed because a convention framing a new constitution had not yet agreed on all its articles.

A partir del extracto periodístico facilitado, el Gobierno Provisional de Santo Domingo declaró nula y sin valor la convención de la bahía de Samaná tras el fracaso de los comisionados especiales de la Samana Bay Company en alcanzar un arreglo amistoso. En respuesta, los comisionados protestaron contra dicha medida por considerarla arbitraria e ilegal, exigieron arbitraje y anunciaron planes para solicitar la protección del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos. Entretanto, reinaba en la isla una gran agitación por posibles préstamos procedentes de Haití o Inglaterra, y la investidura del presidente electo González se hallaba demorada debido a que la convención encargada de redactar una nueva constitución aún no había acordado todos sus artículos.
