Passage summaryResumen del pasaje
The *Chicago Tribune* reported on March 26, 1870, that the public lands of San Domingo are nearly all private property with titles rooted in violence, and characterized President Baez as a brutal adventurer seeking to sell his country to escape justice. The newspaper argued that it is not the mission of the United States to buy foreign nations to improve their condition, warning that doing so would set a boundless precedent while burdening Americans with more debt and taxes.
El *Chicago Tribune* afirmó el 26 de marzo de 1870 que las tierras baldías de Santo Domingo constituían casi en su totalidad propiedades particulares con títulos cimentados en la violencia, tachando al presidente Báez de déspota aventurero que buscaba malvender la patria para esquivar la acción de la justicia. La publicación alegó que no correspondía a los Estados Unidos comprar estados foráneos con miras a redimirlos, previniendo que tal medida sentaría un funesto precedente cargando a los contribuyentes con mayores empréstitos e impuestos.
