SummaryResumen

The *Independent* reported that the Dominican government organized a commission to negotiate directly with European bondholders, hoping a financial settlement would dispel talk of United States annexation, which was widely opposed by the Dominican populace. Representatives of the San Domingo Improvement Company in New York acknowledged that while annexation might bring economic benefits, the time was not ripe for such a step. A company spokesman remarked that support for annexation stemmed primarily from prominent foreign and local property holders rather than the general Dominican public.

Representantes de la San Domingo Improvement Company en Nueva York admitieron que, aunque la anexión podría reportar ventajas económicas, no había llegado el momento para dar tal paso. Un portavoz de la compañía señaló que el respaldo a la anexión provenía principalmente de prominentes propietarios locales y extranjeros, más que del pueblo dominicano en general.
