SummaryResumen
According to the *New York Herald* on April 22, 1873, international animosity and border warfare between Hayti and the Dominican Republic had depopulated the border region, reducing towns like Dajabon to near-desolation. While Hayti's President Saget unsuccessfully sought a treaty of amity and commerce through the British consul general, Dominican leader Baez allegedly maintained hostilities to frighten Dominicans into supporting annexation to the United States. Additionally, the article contrasted the two nations' populations, noting that Hayti had a larger population and smaller territory with a seven-eighths black demographic, whereas the Dominican Republic was three-quarters Creole, with Creoles serving as the ruling and aristocratic element in both republics.
Según *The New York Herald* del 22 de abril de 1873, las querellas internacionales y las guerras de frontera entre Haití y la República Dominicana habían despoblado la comarca limítrofe, sumiendo en la ruina y el abandono a villas como Dajabón. En tanto el presidente haitiano Saget gestionó infructuosamente un convenio de concordia y comercio con la mediación del cónsul general británico, se aseguraba que el gobernante dominicano Báez sostenía los enconos armados para intimidar a sus conciudadanos y forzarlos a cobijarse bajo la anexión a los Estados Unidos. El artículo contrastó asimismo la composición demográfica de ambos estados, refiriendo que Haití contaba con una población más densa en un territorio menor constituida en sus siete octavas partes por negros, en tanto que la República Dominicana era en sus tres cuartas partes criolla, integrando los criollos el estamento dirigente y aristocrático en ambas repúblicas.
