SummaryResumen
The *New York Herald* reported that Spanish commander General Gandam blockaded the principal ports of the Dominican Republic after the Dominican government refused his peace treaty demands, preventing the exportation of American and European tobacco. In response, the Dominicans resolved to commission privateers against Spanish commerce, sending an authorized agent to the United States and Europe to issue letters of marque. Additionally, the newspaper reported that a severe summer drought, heavy taxes, and poverty left thousands of negro laborers in Jamaica on the verge of starvation, creating fears of a local outbreak against the Governor and his officers.
*The New York Herald* reportó que el jefe militar español, general Gándara [Gandam en el texto], bloqueó los puertos principales de la República Dominicana tras rehusar el gobierno dominicano sus exigencias para un tratado de paz, obstaculizando la exportación de tabaco consignado a Europa y los Estados Unidos. Como réplica, los dominicanos resolvieron armar corsarios contra el tráfico mercante español, enviando un agente facultado a los Estados Unidos y a Europa para conceder patentes de corso. Por otra parte, el periódico comunicó que una persistente sequía estival, tributos gravosos y la miseria general tenían a miles de trabajadores negros en Jamaica al borde de la inanición, desatando temores de un levantamiento popular contra el gobernador colonial y sus subordinados.
