Passage summaryResumen del pasaje

Based on the provided excerpt, the newspaper reported that Hayti has historically acted as a bully and a constant threat to the progress and independence of Dominica, treating it as its lawful prey while possessing a much larger population. The publication defended U.S. actions regarding San Domingo—asserting it was under U.S. protection and duty-bound to prevent outside pressure—while accusing the Haytien government of aiding opponents of the legal executive of San Domingo, including Cabral, with men-of-war, arms, and mountaineer forces. Additionally, it recounted that an American admiral in the Gulf sailed to Port-au-Prince to quietly inform the Haytien minister of state about pending negotiations involving San Domingo.

A partir del extracto, el periódico aseveró que Haití ha obrado históricamente de manera prepotente y como constante amenaza para el desenvolvimiento y la soberanía dominicana, considerándola su legítima presa al gozar de una población muy superior. El rotativo defendió la conducta de los Estados Unidos con respecto a Santo Domingo —sosteniendo que se hallaba bajo amparo estadounidense y en el deber de atajar coacciones foráneas—, inculpando a la vez al gobierno haitiano de secundar a los enemigos del gobernante constitucional dominicano, en especial a Cabral, facilitándoles buques de guerra, armamento y combatientes monteros. Añadió que un almirante estadounidense en el Golfo fondeó en Puerto Príncipe para advertir discretamente al ministro de Estado haitiano acerca de las negociaciones pendientes relativas a Santo Domingo.
