SummaryResumen

The newspaper reported that correspondence between the State Department and its agent, Mr. Hubert M. Walsh, has been made public, clearly setting forth the administration's motives in offering its good offices to the Dominican Republic. According to the excerpt, the Spanish portion of St. Domingo voluntarily subjected itself to Hayti in 1821, but later established an independent republic out of self-preservation due to the invasion of their rights, liberties, and threats of extermination under Haytien rule. Although the negroes of Hayti regarded this separation as a revolt and attempted to reduce the Dominicans to subjection by force, all efforts by the Haytien government to reconquer the territory proved unequal.

El diario notificó que se dio a la estampa la correspondencia cursada entre el Departamento de Estado y su comisionado, Sr. Hubert M. Walsh, esclareciendo los móviles del gobierno al brindar sus buenos oficios a la República Dominicana. Según el extracto, la comarca española de Santo Domingo se acogió espontáneamente a Haití en 1821, pero constituyó luego una república independiente por imperativo de propia conservación ante la vulneración de sus prerrogativas, libertades y fundados temores de exterminio bajo el dominio haitiano. Pese a que los negros de Haití juzgaron dicha separación como sedición y procuraron someter por la fuerza a los dominicanos, cuantas tentativas desplegó el gobierno haitiano para reconquistar el suelo patrio resultaron estériles.
