SummaryResumen
The *New-York Tribune* recounted political maneuvers during President Buenaventura Báez's historical efforts to annex the Dominican Republic to the United States. The account recalled how Báez jailed political opponents to guarantee passage of the treaty until an American politician persuaded him that a small dissenting vote would look less suspicious. It also detailed an earlier attempt to lease Samana Bay surveyed by Captain George B. McClellan, which collapsed when British and French warships arrived to oppose American acquisition.

La crónica recordó cómo Báez encarceló a opositores políticos para asegurar la aprobación del tratado hasta que un político estadounidense lo convenció de que una pequeña votación disidente resultaría menos sospechosa. Detalló asimismo una tentativa anterior para arrendar la bahía de Samaná, inspeccionada por el capitán George B. McClellan, la cual fracasó al llegar buques de guerra británicos y franceses para oponerse a la adquisición estadounidense.

When the report reached the ears of a prominent
New-York politician who was at the Dominican
Capitol, and who was greatly interested in the
#reaty, he went at once to Baez and remonstrated:
“Jail methods will ruin the whole business he
waid. “This thing must be done on the square, or

shoulders, and when he did speak he only sald:
“But you want it unanimous, don"t you?
“Not at all. A unanimous vote always creates
suspicion. A small minority vote gives a far better
$mpression.”
“All right.” sald Baez. “You can have that.
