SummaryResumen
An editorial attacks the report of the Commissioners appointed by Grant to investigate whether it was politic to annex San Domingo to the United States, calling it a document prepared to please Baez and full of falsehoods, and noting that Grant, after laying it before Congress, backed down and refused to press its consideration. The paper also publishes two letters from General Cabral inviting the Commissioners to visit his headquarters and the country held by his forces and ask the people whether they favored annexation, an invitation the editorial says the Commissioners were very careful not to accept.
Un editorial ataca el informe de los comisionados nombrados por Grant para investigar si era conveniente anexar Santo Domingo a los Estados Unidos, calificándolo de documento preparado para complacer a Báez y lleno de falsedades, y señalando que Grant, después de presentarlo al Congreso, dio marcha atrás y se negó a impulsar su consideración. El periódico publica también dos cartas del general Cabral invitando a los comisionados a visitar su cuartel general y el territorio ocupado por sus fuerzas y a preguntar al pueblo si favorecía la anexión, una invitación que el editorial dice que los comisionados tuvieron mucho cuidado de no aceptar.
