SummaryResumen

*The National Tribune* reported that European nations lodged diplomatic protests against the United States-Dominican reciprocity treaty, demanding identical trade privileges under existing most-favored-nation pacts. The Dominican government defended the treaty, explaining that special concessions were necessary because the United States accounted for the majority of Dominican trade and provided essential markets for its sugar, coffee, and hides. Facing persistent European pressure, President Heureaux appealed to Washington for diplomatic backing.
