SummaryResumen

The *Richmond Daily Whig* reported concerns over Spanish ambitions to reoccupy Santo Domingo and potentially reintroduce plantation slavery as practiced in Cuba. Citing James Redpath, the paper stated that President Santana had mortgaged Dominican custom houses to secure a Spanish loan, resulting in the arrival of Spanish officials to collect revenues.

El *Richmond Daily Whig* dio cuenta de las inquietudes en torno a las ambiciones españolas de reocupar Santo Domingo y de restablecer eventualmente la esclavitud de plantación tal como se practicaba en Cuba. Citando a James Redpath, el periódico expuso que el presidente Santana había hipotecado las aduanas dominicanas en garantía de un préstamo español, lo que derivó en la llegada de funcionarios españoles para recaudar los aranceles.
