SummaryResumen

The *New York Herald* reported that Spain views the independent republic of Hayti as the breeding ground for Dominican insurrections and believes it must either destroy Hayti or abandon the island. Driven by national pride rather than financial interest, Spain will refuse to abandon St. Domingo and will instead tighten its grip on the island, potentially annexing Hayti to prolong its rule.

*The New York Herald* informó que España considera a la república independiente de Haití como el foco germinal de las insurrecciones dominicanas, juzgando que debe destruir a Haití o abandonar la isla. Movida por el orgullo nacional antes que por intereses financieros, España se negará a abandonar Santo Domingo y, por el contrario, afianzará su dominio en la isla, proyectando posiblemente anexionar a Haití para prolongar su permanencia.

destroy tbe nest or abandon tba island altogether. Which

alternative do you think ehe will adopt? To answer

this question wo must understand Spanish nature and

temper? a not very difficult matter; for Spaniards aro In
