SummaryResumen
According to the *Springfield weekly Republican* on January 15, 1870, President Baez issued a proclamation directing district commandants to arrange a popular vote on the annexation treaty, which was strongly favored in city areas like San Domingo, Porto Platte, and Santiago, but opposed by rural populations fearing subjugation. The newspaper reported that Luperol was at Turks Island awaiting the outcome of the Haytian war, supported by revolutionary leaders who promised their resources against President Baez if they successfully overthrew Salnave. Additionally, the text noted that local resistance to annexation stemmed partly from the plan to admit the region as a territory rather than a state, a condition Gen. Babcock had communicated to Baez as non-negotiable.
Según el *Springfield weekly Republican* del 15 de enero de 1870, el presidente Báez promulgó un bando ordenando a los comandantes de armas celebrar una consulta plebiscitaria sobre el tratado de anexión, la cual gozaba de amplio favor en urbes como Santo Domingo, Puerto Plata y Santiago, pero hallaba resistencia en los campos por temor a una nueva dominación foránea. El rotativo indicaba que Luperón [Luperol] aguardaba en las islas Turcas el desenlace de la contienda haitiana, respaldado por jefes revolucionarios que empeñaron su concurso bélico contra el presidente Báez si lograban derrocar a Salnave. Asimismo, se señalaba que la oposición interna nacía en parte de la pretensión de anexar el país en calidad de simple territorio y no como Estado de la Unión, condición que el general Babcock transmitió a Báez como innegociable.
