SummaryResumen
According to a January 13 dispatch reported by *The New York Herald* correspondent in San Domingo, the Dominican Republic was virtually dead and openly presented to the world as a Spanish province ruled by General Santana as the commissioned Captain-General for Queen Isabella. Spain promised numerous reforms as part of its policy of absorption—including declaring Samana a free port, inviting universal emigration, reducing tariffs on foreign-imported goods, proclaiming full religious toleration, and abolishing slavery—while it was also thought Queen Isabella would invite President Lincoln to send surplus negroes and contrabands to San Domingo. Additionally, the city's streets were enlivened with foreign carriages, buggies, drays, and new toilets, and the new United States Consul had not held any official intercourse with the government.
Según un despacho del 13 de enero remitido por el corresponsal de *The New York Herald* en Santo Domingo, la República Dominicana había prácticamente dejado de existir, mostrándose abiertamente al mundo como provincia española gobernada por el general Santana como capitán general comisionado de la reina Isabel. España prometía múltiples reformas como parte de su política de absorción —incluida la declaración de Samaná como puerto libre, la invitación a la inmigración general, la rebaja de aranceles a las importaciones foráneas, la proclamación de una entera libertad de cultos y la abolición formal de la esclavitud—, al tiempo que se suponía que la reina Isabel cursaría una invitación al presidente Lincoln para asentar en Santo Domingo a los libertos negros rescatados de la Confederación («contrabands»). Asimismo, las calles de la capital se veían animadas con carruajes, calesas y carretas foráneas y novedades en el vestir, mientras que el nuevo cónsul de los Estados Unidos se abstenía de mantener trato oficial alguno con las autoridades.

Our correspondent in San Domingo city fiirnishes
a very interesting and lively letter on the
position of affairs in the Dominican territory, dated
on the 13th of January. The republic was virtually
dead, and the island was openly presented to the
world as a Spanish province, ruled by General
Santana, the late President, but now the commissioned

The writer acknowledges, however, that
Spain had promised many reforms?commercial and
social?as sequences of her "humanitarian 'policy
of absorption. Samana will be declared a free
port; a universal emigration will be invited; the
tariff on goods imported in foreign bottoms is to be
reduced, full religious toleration proclaimed, and
slavery abolished. It was also thought that Qncen
Isabella would invite President Lincoln to
ship all the surplus negroes and contrabands''
which may remain on our hands
after the suppression of the rebellion to
Ban Domingo, in accordance with the idea of
African transplantation contained in his recent
message to Congress. The streets of the city were
enlivened with carriages from Madrid, Barcelona
and Havana, with buggies and drays from New
York, and the inhabitants shone forth in new
toilets and an expanse of foreign crinoline. General
Santana ruled as Captain-General in the
name of the Queen of Spain. The new Consul of
the United States had not held any official intercourse
with the government. A sample of native
