SummaryResumen

According to the *Nashville Union and American*, extraordinary preparations in navy yards were reported to be for guarding the annexation of the Dominican Republic to the United States rather than for war with Spain over Cuba. The article stated that General Babcock, a confidential officer on Grant's staff, had settled the annexation conditions with San Domingo authorities, and the treaty—modeled after the Texas annexation—would be submitted to the Senate. Additionally, warships were sent to West Indies ports at President Baez's request to be present when the U.S. flag was hoisted, with opposition anticipated only from a revolutionary faction aided by Cabral.

Según el *Nashville Union and American*, los extraordinarios aprestos en los astilleros navales respondían al propósito de asegurar la anexión de la República Dominicana a los Estados Unidos antes que a un conflicto armado con España a causa de Cuba. El artículo exponía que el general Babcock, edecán de confianza en el estado mayor de Grant, había acordado las cláusulas de anexión con las autoridades dominicanas, previéndose remitir al Senado el tratado —calcado del modelo de incorporación de Texas—. Se agregó asimismo que varios buques de guerra zarparon hacia las Antillas a requerimiento del presidente Báez para asistir al acto de izamiento del pabellón estadounidense, aguardándose resistencia tan solo de la facción rebelde auxiliada por Cabral.
