SummaryResumen

The *New-York Tribune* reported on conditions in Santo Domingo, noting strong popular sentiment in favor of annexation to the United States, favorable reports on mineral wealth by State Geologist Professor Gabb, and a record tobacco crop. The paper also reported that many Dominicans were departing to assist Cuban insurgents against Spain. While initial reports claimed former President Cabral's rebellion had failed, subsequent dispatches indicated Cabral had defeated government forces in several southern towns, prompting President Báez to concentrate his troops at Azua.

El *New-York Tribune* informó sobre la situación en Santo Domingo, destacando una marcada corriente popular favorable a la anexión a los Estados Unidos, informes elogiosos sobre los yacimientos minerales rendidos por el geólogo del Estado, el profesor Gabb, y una cosecha tabacalera sin precedentes. El diario también dio cuenta de que numerosos dominicanos partían para socorrer a los insurrectos cubanos frente a España. Aunque las primeras noticias aseguraban el fracaso de la revuelta del expresidente Cabral, partes posteriores indicaron que Cabral había batido a las tropas del gobierno en varias poblaciones del sur, lo que constriñó al presidente Báez a reconcentrar sus contingentes en Azua.

The desire for annexation to the United States was

gtronger than ever, and regret is very generally ex-

pressed that the American Congress should have delayed
