SummaryResumen
The newspaper reported that a Senator argued the annexation of Santo Domingo would provoke the jealousy and fear of other American republics, which view the United States without special affection due to past difficulties with Paraguay, Cuba, Peru, and Brazil. Furthermore, the Senator stated that the people of Santo Domingo are not homogeneous with America, making the territory a costly burden, and asserted that the Monroe Doctrine does not justify the United States seizing adjoining lands.
El diario dio cuenta de la intervención de un senador quien sostuvo que la anexión de Santo Domingo concitaría los recelos y el temor de las demás repúblicas americanas, las cuales miraban a los Estados Unidos sin particular simpatía a raíz de pasados diferendos con Paraguay, Cuba, Perú y Brasil. Agregó además que la población de Santo Domingo no guardaba afinidad ni homogeneidad con el pueblo estadounidense, constituyendo el territorio una carga onerosa, y afirmó que la doctrina Monroe jamás justificaba la apropiación de territorios circunvecinos por parte de los Estados Unidos.

more; our attitude toward Cuba; the
trouble with Peru in 1860 a recent un
pleasantness with Brazil in regard to the
passage of the gunboat Wasp, up the
Paraguy to relieve Minister Washburn,
were recited to show that there was no
special love for this government among
those nations. The annexation of Santo
Domingo, whether of spontaneous origin
or nursed by the military, naval and
financial power of the United States,
cannot fail to excite the jealousy and
fear of all the American republics. In
stead of this, the American Republic
should be the protector, the counselor
and guide of all her sister republics and
not a ravenous beast of prey.
A COSTLY ELEPHANT.
Mr. Morrill then proceeds to show that
the people of San Domingo are not ho
mogeneous with America, and that it
would be a costly elephant on our hands.
The most desirable annexation is north
ward. THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
The St Thomas matter was referred
to and the Monroe doctrine explained by
the Senator at considerable length. He
declared that the doctrine was not that
we were to seize all the land adjoining us
nor was it by any means susceptible of
the selfish interpretation that European
vultures were to be driven away in order
that the American eagle might swoop
down and clutch the prey. Such had
not been the well settled policy of thj
