SummaryResumen

This account of Dominican history relates that after Baez was overthrown, General Jose Maria Cabral became lawful president by the direct vote of the people in September 1866, the first time a question had been submitted to a direct vote in the country's history, and that peace ensued. It says Cabral, embarrassed by financial difficulties, turned to the United States offering a lease of the bay of Samana, while the exiled Baez denounced the sale of his country, organised a hostile force with the help of Salnave of Hayti, and compelled Cabral's capitulation on February 8, 1868, after which a convention named Baez Grand Citizen with unlimited powers and his enemies were exiled or executed.

Este relato de la historia dominicana cuenta que, tras la caída de Báez, el general José María Cabral llegó a ser presidente legítimo por el voto directo del pueblo en septiembre de 1866, la primera vez que una cuestión se sometía al voto directo en la historia del país, y que sobrevino la paz. Dice que Cabral, agobiado por dificultades financieras, se dirigió a los Estados Unidos ofreciendo el arrendamiento de la bahía de Samaná, mientras Báez, desde el exilio, denunciaba la venta de su patria, organizaba una fuerza hostil con la ayuda de Salnave, de Haití, y obligaba a Cabral a capitular el 8 de febrero de 1868, tras lo cual una convención nombró a Báez Gran Ciudadano con poderes ilimitados y sus enemigos fueron exiliados o ejecutados.

misdeeds of one man, it says, “this man, this monster,

Soon after the disappearance of Baez, his rival became

lawful President by the direct vote of the people, accord

aumbers of the official journal now before me contain

the election returns in September, 1866, where the nae

of Gen. José Maria Cabral appears at the head of the

poll. This is memorable as the tiist time in the history

of Domivica when a question was submitted to the

direct vote of the people. By that direct vote Cabral be
