SummaryResumen
According to the *Chicago Daily Tribune* on April 6, 1861, Santana failed in his desperate effort to induce white emigration from the United States despite the support of U.S. consuls. The newspaper reported that Santana previously borrowed a million dollars from Spain, and failing to repay it, offered a mortgage on the Custom House, resulting in a small band of Spaniards arriving at St. Domingo to act as collectors and mechanics. This policy fueled the opposition by prompting claims that he was "selling the country to the whites," leading to revolutionary circulars and proclamations as early as last December.
Según el *Chicago Daily Tribune* del 6 de abril de 1861, Santana fracasó en su desesperado intento de promover la emigración de personas blancas procedentes de los Estados Unidos, a pesar del respaldo de los cónsules estadounidenses. El periódico informó que Santana había tomado prestado previamente un millón de dólares de España y, al no poder devolverlo, ofreció una hipoteca sobre las aduanas, lo que resultó en la llegada a Santo Domingo de una pequeña partida de españoles para desempeñarse como recaudadores y artesanos. Esta política alimentó a la oposición al dar pie a acusaciones de que estaba «vendiendo el país a los blancos», provocando circulares y proclamas revolucionarias ya desde el pasado diciembre.
