SummaryResumen

In a Senate speech, Mr. Sumner recounts how Cabral became president by a direct vote of the people, how the exiled Baez came to Washington seeking money and arms and got no encouragement, and how Cabral, pressed by financial difficulties, offered a lease of the Bay of Samana. He says Baez then denounced the sale of his country, organized a hostile force with the help of Salnave of Haiti, forced Cabral's capitulation on February 8, 1868, and was named dictator by an appointed convention, after which treaties were signed to sell the country for $1,500,000 and lease Samana Bay for $150,000 a year, with the United States Navy used to keep Baez in power.

En un discurso en el Senado, el señor Sumner relata cómo Cabral llegó a la presidencia por voto directo del pueblo, cómo el exiliado Baez fue a Washington en busca de dinero y armas y no recibió apoyo, y cómo Cabral, presionado por dificultades financieras, ofreció el arrendamiento de la bahía de Samana. Dice que Baez denunció entonces la venta de su país, organizó una fuerza hostil con ayuda de Salnave de Haití, forzó la capitulación de Cabral el 8 de febrero de 1868 y fue nombrado dictador por una convención designada, tras lo cual se firmaron tratados para vender el país por $1,500,000 y arrendar la bahía de Samana por $150,000 al año, con la Marina de los Estados Unidos empleada para mantener a Baez en el poder.
