SummaryResumen
The *Knoxville Weekly Chronicle* reported that the Dominican provisional government declared the Samana Bay convention null and void after a special commission failed to reach an amicable settlement. In response, the commissioners protested the act as arbitrary and illegal, demanded arbitration, and announced plans to call upon the United States Government for protection against violent proceedings by Dominican authorities. Meanwhile, the island experienced excitement over a proposed loan from Hayti or England, and the installation of President-elect Gousale? remained delayed due to a constitutional convention's inability to agree on a new constitution.
El *Knoxville Weekly Chronicle* informó que el gobierno provisional dominicano declaró nula y sin valor la convención de la bahía de Samaná luego de que una comisión especial no lograra llegar a un acuerdo amistoso. En respuesta, los comisionados protestaron por considerar la medida arbitraria e ilegal, demandaron arbitraje y anunciaron planes para recurrir al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos en busca de protección contra las actuaciones violentas de las autoridades dominicanas. Entretanto, la isla experimentaba agitación a causa de un propuesto empréstito de Haití o Inglaterra, y la toma de posesión del presidente electo González continuaba demorada por la incapacidad de una convención constituyente para acordar una nueva constitución.
