Passage summaryResumen del pasaje
The newspaper reported that the Dominican Republic, covering an area of 1,000 square miles with a population of 136,000, declared its complete independence from the French portion, though Spain had never formally admitted its independence after forty years out of its possession. According to Mr. James Redpath, officially connected with the Republic of Hayti, the Dominican Republic has been divided between two alternating parties represented by Santana and Baez, whose policies indicate re-union and independence. Redpath explained that after Santana failed to repay a million-dollar loan borrowed from Spain and offered a mortgage on the custom-houses, a small band of eighty Spaniards arrived in St. Domingo last summer to work as custom collectors and mechanics, which fueled the opposition's revolutionary claims that Santana was selling the country.
El periódico informó que la República Dominicana, con una superficie de 1.000 millas cuadradas y una población de 136.000 habitantes, declaró su completa independencia de la porción francesa, aunque España nunca había reconocido formalmente su independencia tras cuarenta años fuera de su dominio. Según el Sr. James Redpath, vinculado oficialmente a la República de Haití, la República Dominicana ha estado dividida entre dos facciones alternantes representadas por Santana y Báez, cuyas directrices apuntaban respectivamente a la anexión y a la independencia. Redpath explicó que, tras no poder Santana amortizar un empréstito de un millón de dólares solicitado a España y ofrecer en garantía las aduanas, un reducido contingente de ochenta españoles llegó a Santo Domingo el verano anterior para ejercer como recaudadores aduaneros y artesanos, lo que avivó las denuncias revolucionarias de la oposición de que Santana vendía la patria.

Mr. Jamee Redpatii, who i. officially oon-

following explanation of the reported usurps

"Since the indepenuenco of the Dominican J
Republic, two parties have divided and alter-
nately governed it, whose represent.tive m«n j
are SauLana and iliu-z, aa the words re-union j
and independence indicate their respective j
policies.
"Some years ago—(what I say now is drawn I
from Hayt-en olflcial sources)— San tana bor- i
rowed a million of dollars from Spain. Failing j
to repay it according to the terms of the loan,
hs offered to give a mortgage on the custom- j
bouses. Last summer, accordingly, a small
band of Spaniards, not more than eighty in all,
arrived la St. Domingo, and the three officials i
among them immediately entered on their dv-
ties as collectors at the port. The rest were
mechanics. This is all tho -emigration' that j
has been sent to the Domiuicuu RepubUc by i
Spain.
"This policy of San tana furnished the mate
rial for creating an effective union among the
opposition to his government. 'See 'he is j
selling the country to the whites!' Even as i
early as last December, revolution-try circu- I
larsand proclamations were In type in St.
