SummaryResumen
The *Spokane Press* reviewed the history of United States annexation attempts in the Dominican Republic, focusing on President Buenaventura Báez's 1869 pact with President Grant. The treaty failed in the Senate after Senator Charles Sumner denounced Báez as a corrupt despot maintained in power solely by American naval force. The article also noted the short-lived 1872 lease of Samana Bay and President Heureaux's subsequent transfer of national custom houses to an American syndicate in 1893.
