SummaryResumen

The *Daily National Intelligencer* reported on November 13, 1865, that Don Pedro Valverde, a member of the "Yankee party," supports opening Dominican gold mines, mahogany forests, and pearl fisheries to immigrants under a liberal colonization law, and proposes establishing free and neutral ports jointly with President Geffrard of Hayti. In contrast, the newspaper noted that General Cabral has intimate relations with European consuls while the United States is unrepresented, and suggested that Cabral might pursue a close union with Hayti that could threaten the white race in the eastern part of the island. Additionally, the article stated that if Valverde is elected, the Dominican Republic would respond to Spanish demands for the repayment of conquest costs with a counter-demand.

El *Daily National Intelligencer* dio cuenta el 13 de noviembre de 1865 de que don Pedro Valverde, miembro del «partido pro-yanqui», promovía abrir las minas auríferas dominicanas, los bosques de caoba y los placeres de perlas a colonos extranjeros al amparo de una liberal ley de inmigración, proponiendo asimismo la habilitación de puertos francos y neutrales en concierto con el presidente Geffrard de Haití. Por el contrario, el rotativo señalaba que el general Cabral cultivaba estrechos nexos con los cónsules europeos mientras los Estados Unidos carecían de legación oficial, insinuando que Cabral podría propiciar una federación estrecha con Haití susceptible de comprometer a la población blanca de la parte oriental. El reporte concluía que, de resultar elegido Valverde, la República Dominicana ripostaría a las exigencias españolas de indemnización bélica con una enérgica contrademanda.

dro Valverde and General Cabral. Don Pedro Valverde

is a noble soldier, and a finished gentleman of pure white

stock. He is of the “Yankee party,’’ and is openly pledged

to rustais the course of policy inaugurated in June and

July. This is to open the Dominican gold mines, mahogany

forests, ard pearl fisheries to all immigrants who have the

means and disposition to develop the vast natural resources

of the Republic, under a general colonization law of ex

treme liberality. Don Pedro would also invite President

Geffrird, of Hayti, to j in with him in establishing free

and neutral ports when the limits of the two republics

meet; which free port* should be placed under the com

mon protection of all nations at amity with Hayti and the

Dominican Republic. This free and neutral line, it is

hoped, will oppose a check to future invasions of each

other’s territory.

he is elected, and if the United States Government re.

slight tinge of Indian blood in his system, and he may be

inclined to enier into a union with Hayti so close re to

crush out the white race in our own eastarn end of the

island. He has most intimate relations with the Euro*

pean consuls, while the United States is almost the same

as unrepresented.

Again, if Don Pedro Valverde is

elected the Spanish demand for the repayment of the mil.

lions wasted here in trying to corquer us will be met by a

counter demand on the part of the Dominican Republic
