SummaryResumen

According to the newspaper excerpt, a conversation occurred between President Grant and Senator Sumner regarding the San Domingo treaty and Gen. Babcock's expenditure of a secret service fund. The report states that the President and the Senator misunderstood each other, as Sumner believed the President sought defense for the expenditure of funds, whereas the President intended to discuss the treaty for acquiring the Dominican Republic. Poore's statement regarding the meeting reportedly clarifies a historical doubt and resolves published stories concerning the cause of the difficulty between Grant and Sumner.

Según el extracto periodístico, se celebró un diálogo entre el presidente Grant y el senador Sumner acerca del tratado de Santo Domingo y la utilización de fondos secretos por parte del general Babcock. Consigna la información que mandatario y legislador sufrieron una confusión recíproca, pues Sumner supuso que el presidente recababa justificación para el gasto de caudales, cuando este pretendía deliberar sobre el pacto de anexión de la República Dominicana. La relación del mayor Poore sobre dicha entrevista disipa al parecer una incógnita histórica y desvirtúa versiones divulgadas respecto al origen del distanciamiento entre Grant y Sumner.

of conversation was the San Domingo

treaty. Sumner dwelt especially upon the

expenditure by Gen. Babcock in San Do

mingo of a large sum taken from a secret

service fund for promoting intercourse with

the West India islands, which Seward had

prevailed on Thad Stevens to have inserted

in the appropriation bill during the war,

and the President impressed Sumner with

the idea that he feared an attack in Con

gress for that expenditure. Poore adds the

opinion that Sumner thought that the Pres

ident had come to enlist his services in de

fending this expenditure by Babcock, but

the President meant the treaty for the ac

quisition of the Dominican Republic. The

President and the Senator misunderstood

each other. After awhile the President

promised to send Babcock to call on the

Senator next day with copies of the papers,

and left. As Sumner escoi ted him to the

door he told him that he was a Republican

-a supporter of the Republican Adminis

tration and that he should sustain the Aa

ministration in this case if he possibly

could. After he had examined the papers,

he meant to sustain the expenditure of

$100,000 in cash, $50,000 in a light battery

and muskets purchased at New York, but

the President meant the treaty. Poore's

statement thus removes a grave historical

doubt and seems to set at rest the stories

recently published of the cause of the diffi

culty between Grant and Sumner.
