SummaryResumen

The *New-York Tribune* published a letter from Dominican officer Colonel G. X. Franco challenging claims that the Dominican people favored annexation to the United States. Franco argued the annexation vote was fraudulent, citing an insurrection in Puerto Plata, the imprisonment of over 200 political dissidents in Santo Domingo, and active resistance led by General Cabral across the southern and northern provinces.

El *New-York Tribune* reprodujo una misiva del jefe militar dominicano coronel G. X. Franco rebatiendo las aseveraciones de que el pueblo dominicano propiciara la anexión a los Estados Unidos. Franco adujo que el plebiscito sobre la anexión fue fraudulento, trayendo a colación la sublevación de Puerto Plata, el encarcelamiento de más de 200 disidentes políticos en las cárceles de Santo Domingo y la activa resistencia en armas comandada por el general Cabral a lo largo de las demarcaciones meridionales y del norte.
