SummaryResumen
The newspaper reported that when Santo Domingo faced an imminent crisis and appealed to the United States for protection during an ongoing annexation negotiation, the U.S. Administration notified Haytian authorities that an invasion would be regarded as unfriendly to the U.S. until Congress decided on the treaty. Additionally, the President sent American warships into Dominican waters at the request of the Dominican Government, which successfully prevented conflict and kept the peace between Hayti and Santo Domingo without firing a shot or landing sailors on Haytian territory.
El periódico refirió que, al afrontar Santo Domingo una crisis extrema y acudir en demanda de auxilio a los Estados Unidos durante las tratativas de anexión, el gobierno de Washington advirtió a las autoridades de Haití de que cualquier invasión sería juzgada como un acto inamistoso contra los Estados Unidos hasta tanto el Congreso se pronunciase sobre el tratado. Asimismo, el mandatario destacó buques navales estadounidenses en aguas dominicanas a instancias del gobierno de Santo Domingo, logrando disuadir las hostilidades y preservar la paz entre ambas naciones insulares sin haber efectuado un solo disparo ni desembarcado marinería en suelo haitiano.

crisis was iminent, and the Government
of Santo Domingo appealed to our Gover n-
ment for protection against a danger grow- j
ing out of this very negotiation. Con-
gress was not in session at the time.
What did the Admiiiistiation do? Just I
this; In the interest f peace and human- I
ity it notified the Haytian authorities that
a preliminary treaty of annexation had
been negotiated, anil that, until Congress 1
should have expressed its decision, an in
vasion of the Doiuiniciau territory by any
foreign Power would be regarded as an act i
unfriendly to the United States.
Was this an outrage? Was it a viola-|
tiou of international law So far from it,
any fair-minded man, no matter what his
views concerning annexation may be,
would say that it was a duty. To have
done less or to have done otherwise, under
the circumstances, would have been a base
desertion of the gallant little nation whose
only crime was its aspiration to merge it- i
self in tlie great American Republic.
2. With a sagacious knowledge of hu
man nature, the President prevented any
necessity of forcible intervention, and j
kept the peace between Hayti and Santo
Domingo, by sending several American j
vessels of war (which would otherwise
have been cruising at equal expense in the
Mediterranean or upon the South Ameri
can coast) not into Haytian, but into Dom
inican waters, at the request of the Dom
inican Government. Not a gun was fired,
not a sailor was landed upon Haytian ter
ritory. Nor was tlie Dominician Govern
