President Pedro Santana engineered re-annexation to Spain in 1861 during the US Civil War. American newspapers tracked the fierce Dominican Restoration War (1863–1865), Spanish casualties, and Spain's withdrawal as a triumph of anti-colonial resistance.El presidente Pedro Santana gestionó la reanexión a España en 1861.

SummaryResumen
Based on the provided excerpt, Spanish forces attempting to capture St. Christabal were harassed by Dominican guerrillas and driven back in confusion at the river Jaina with a loss of 200 casualties. The Dominicans also captured supplies, rifles, ammunition, a field piece, and a cannon at Santa Anna's supply depot, and defeated the Spaniards in a battle at Purata Plata on December 20th. Consequently, the Spaniards are reportedly confined only to the ground they stand upon, prompting a resume in *The Standard* to suggest that Spain should withdraw from the contest.
A juzgar por el extracto, tropas españolas que intentaban tomar San Cristóbal fueron hostigadas por guerrilleros dominicanos y rechazadas en desbandada en el río Haina con un saldo de 200 bajas. Asimismo, los dominicanos se apoderaron de provisiones, fusiles, municiones, una pieza de campaña y un cañón en el parque de suministros de Santana, y vencieron a los españoles en un combate librado en Puerto Plata el 20 de diciembre. En consecuencia, se afirmaba que los peninsulares apenas dominaban el suelo que pisaban, lo que motivó a un balance en *The Standard* a insinuar que España debía retirarse de la contienda.
