Passage summaryResumen del pasaje

The *New York Herald* reported that Mr. Seward's plans regarding the Bay of Samaná have been thwarted by St. Domingo negroes, whom the author characterizes as disrespectful toward white "Yankees" following federal policies in the Southern States. Additionally, the newspaper noted the receipt of a telegram from Venezuela stating that a growing rebellion there, like numerous preceding ones, arose from incorporating negroes into politics.

*The New York Herald* afirmó que los designios del secretario Seward relativos a la bahía de Samaná se vieron frustrados por los negros de Santo Domingo, a quienes el corresponsal tacha de refractarios hacia los «yanquis» blancos a causa de las políticas federales en los estados del Sur. Además, el periódico acusó el recibo de un telegrama de Venezuela que aseguraba que una rebelión en ascenso en ese país, al igual que muchas otras anteriores, emanaba de haber integrado a los negros en la vida política.
