SummaryResumen

According to *The New York Herald* on April 30, 1865, European monarchies were described as quaking with fear over the growing strength of the United States and its potential impact on Spanish possessions like Cuba and Porto Rico. The article specifically cited a fearful argument presented by the "Conqueror of Africa," which claimed the United States planned to send thousands of freed colored people to St. Domingo to form a negro nationality and army to ultimately attack and destroy Cuba. The newspaper dismissed this theory as a "raving of an imagination entirely possessed by fear," asserting that no dilatory measures would be needed if the United States truly intended to conquer European possessions.

Según *The New York Herald* del 30 de abril de 1865, las monarquías europeas temblaban de recelo ante el creciente poderío de los Estados Unidos y sus posibles repercusiones en las posesiones españolas de Cuba y Puerto Rico. El artículo citó en particular un medroso alegato esgrimido por el «Conquistador de África», quien aseguraba que los Estados Unidos proyectaban enviar a miles de libertos de color a Santo Domingo a fin de constituir una nacionalidad y un ejército negros con el propósito final de asaltar y arrasar a Cuba. El diario desestimó dicha teoría como el «desvarío de una imaginación presa del pánico», asegurando que los Estados Unidos no necesitarían recurrir a maniobras indirectas si de veras abrigaran el propósito de conquistar posesiones europeas.
