SummaryResumen

The June 9, 1854 *New York Herald* reports that the Dominican people are brave, orderly, and progressive, having successfully sustained their independence since 1844 by winning every battle against the Haytiens despite great odds, such as at the battle of Las Carreras where Santana defeated Faustin. The article states that Haytien emissaries attempted to incite colored Dominicans to murder whites and believe false rumors that Americans were coming to enslave them. Furthermore, the newspaper criticizes an American journal (the *Post*) for presenting cases in a way that incites insurrection among blacks while defending Hayti's destructive actions.

El ejemplar del 9 de junio de 1854 de *The New York Herald* refiere que el pueblo dominicano es valiente, ordenado y progresista, habiendo sostenido con éxito su independencia desde 1844 al salir victorioso en todas las batallas libradas contra los haitianos pese a la disparidad numérica, como en la batalla de Las Carreras, donde Santana derrotó a Faustino. El artículo señala que emisarios haitianos intentaron incitar a los dominicanos de color a dar muerte a los blancos y dar crédito al falso rumor de que los estadounidenses venían a esclavizarlos. Asimismo, el periódico censura a un diario norteamericano (el *Post*) por exponer los hechos de un modo que atizaba la insurrección de los negros mientras disculpaba los desmanes destructivos de Haití.

The Dominican people, on the contrary, are brave,

the establishment of their independent government

with the Haytiens, and always ugainst great odds.
