Passage summaryResumen del pasaje
The newspaper reported that an investigation found no land grants or franchises given to any U.S. official regarding the treaty, and that the Dominicans reaffirmed their willingness to be annexed under the terms of the 1869 treaty, with additional requests regarding Samana Bay rent and educational funding. The Commissioners concluded that Dominican independence has never been a reality and that union as a State is the republic's only chance to secure its freedom and independence, though they made no formal recommendation on whether to adopt that course.
El diario consignó que las averiguaciones practicadas revelaron que no se concedieron mercedes de tierras ni privilegios a funcionario alguno de los Estados Unidos en conexión con el tratado, y que los dominicanos ratificaron su avenimiento a la anexión conforme a las cláusulas del pacto de 1869, formulando peticiones complementarias relativas al pago del arrendamiento de la bahía de Samaná y a fondos para instrucción pública. Los comisionados concluyeron que la independencia dominicana nunca había sido una realidad y que la incorporación como Estado de la Unión constituía la única vía para afianzar sus libertades e independencia, aun cuando se abstuvieron de formular una recomendación explícita sobre dicho camino.

Tbe Commission in concluding this portion
of the report show that the Dominican inde
