SummaryResumen

According to *The New York Herald* on April 21, 1852, the Dominican Republic's leader awaited a response regarding French proposals while noting that American Chargé d'Affaires Mr. Green had been sent with full powers. The newspaper's correspondent stated that while the Dominican chief accused Mr. Green's mission of seeking annexation, the correspondent observed that Green never aimed for annexation during his stay. Additionally, the excerpt attributes Green's appointment to a Whig administration stratagem involving a political opponent's son, while also mentioning failed British intrigues and the Dominican Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Caminero.

A tenor de *The New York Herald* del 21 de abril de 1852, el mandatario dominicano aguardaba respuesta a propuestas formuladas por Francia, observando que el encargado de negocios estadounidense, Sr. Green, había sido acreditado con plenos poderes. El corresponsal del diario señaló que, aunque el jefe dominicano imputaba a la misión de Green designios de anexión, jamás se advirtió en su gestión tal pretensión durante su estancia. El extracto atribuye la designación de Green a una estratagema del gobierno whig ligada al hijo de un rival político, aludiendo asimismo a intrigas británicas fallidas y a la intervención del ministro de Relaciones Exteriores dominicano, Dr. Caminero.

The New York herald

SummaryResumen

The June 9, 1854 *New York Herald* reports that the Dominican people are brave, orderly, and progressive, having successfully sustained their independence since 1844 by winning every battle against the Haytiens despite great odds, such as at the battle of Las Carreras where Santana defeated Faustin. The article states that Haytien emissaries attempted to incite colored Dominicans to murder whites and believe false rumors that Americans were coming to enslave them. Furthermore, the newspaper criticizes an American journal (the *Post*) for presenting cases in a way that incites insurrection among blacks while defending Hayti's destructive actions.

El ejemplar del 9 de junio de 1854 de *The New York Herald* refiere que el pueblo dominicano es valiente, ordenado y progresista, habiendo sostenido con éxito su independencia desde 1844 al salir victorioso en todas las batallas libradas contra los haitianos pese a la disparidad numérica, como en la batalla de Las Carreras, donde Santana derrotó a Faustino. El artículo señala que emisarios haitianos intentaron incitar a los dominicanos de color a dar muerte a los blancos y dar crédito al falso rumor de que los estadounidenses venían a esclavizarlos. Asimismo, el periódico censura a un diario norteamericano (el *Post*) por exponer los hechos de un modo que atizaba la insurrección de los negros mientras disculpaba los desmanes destructivos de Haití.

During March, the American schooner *Charles Hill*, commanded by Captain Smith, collided with a Dominican packet, leading to the captain's imprisonment in San Domingo for failing to pay a $3,000 fine for willful damage. Captain Smith has abandoned his schooner to the government, prompting a correspondent in San Domingo City to demand redress from the Cabinet at Washington. Additionally, the excerpt briefly notes that no further outbreaks occurred yesterday following an incident where individuals arriving at a location found only a doorman.

En el curso de marzo, la goleta estadounidense *Charles Hill*, a órdenes del capitán Smith, colisionó con un paquebote dominicano, motivando la prisión del patrón en Santo Domingo por omitir el pago de una indemnización de 3.000 pesos fijada por perjuicios intencionados. El capitán Smith desamparó su embarcación dejándola en manos del fisco dominicano, induciendo a un corresponsal en la capital a clamar desagravio ante el gabinete de Washington. El suelto añadía sucintamente que no se registraron nuevas alteraciones en la víspera tras un incidente donde varios sujetos acudieron a un paraje hallando únicamente a un portero.

The *New York Herald* reported that an expedition of 1,000 men was marching against Samaná, the last location holding out for Báez, while business in Port au Plata and Santiago remained safe despite all provincial military forces being under arms. The Cibao government sought to purchase two small clipper schooners and other armaments, including an 18-inch mortar, to blockade Santo Domingo. Additionally, the newspaper noted local astonishment that the U.S. government had not sent a warship to demand satisfaction regarding the seizure of the American schooner *Charles Hill* by Báez.

El *New York Herald* notificó que una columna de mil hombres marchaba sobre Samaná, último reducto que sostenía la causa de Báez, mientras el comercio en Puerto Plata y Santiago proseguía a salvo pese a permanecer sobre las armas todas las milicias provinciales. El gobierno del Cibao procuraba adquirir dos goletas de casco fino y otros pertrechos, comprendido un mortero de dieciocho pulgadas, para estrechar el bloqueo sobre Santo Domingo. El diario hacía constar la sorpresa de los pobladores ante la omisión del gobierno de Washington de comisionar un buque de guerra para reclamar reparaciones por el embargo de la goleta estadounidense *Charles Hill* dispuesto por Báez.

The article notes that General Geffrard's reported successful insurrection could open a new chapter in the island's wars, and provides geographic and demographic statistics for the island, which is divided between Hayti and the Dominican republic. Additionally, it describes the island's capital, military forces, climate, and soil, noting that productiveness has declined due to corrupt rule.

El suelto apunta que el triunfo insurreccional del general Geffrard podría abrir una nueva etapa en las guerras de la isla, consignando cifras demográficas y geográficas de la partición territorial entre Haití y la República Dominicana. Describe finalmente la capital insular, su fuerza militar, el clima y los suelos, haciendo notar que la fecundidad de la tierra había decaído bajo gobiernos viciados.

Additionally, the press advocated for establishing a bank to suppress paper money, and the value of the gold ounce was fixed at 4,000 national dollars.

Por otra parte, la prensa abogó por la fundación de un banco para retirar el papel moneda, y el valor de la onza de oro se fijó en 4.000 pesos nacionales.

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.

SummaryResumen

*The New York Herald* reported, based on accounts from Port-au-Prince, that Dominican insurgents had established a provisional government in Santiago and chosen a native leader to head the republic. Fierce fighting in Santiago between Dominican forces and the Spanish garrison resulted in hundreds of casualties, forcing Spanish ally General Santana to flee into the woods near Azua. The report observed that Dominican enthusiasm for Spanish rule had collapsed, forcing Madrid to send costly military reinforcements.

*The New York Herald* informó, basándose en despachos de Puerto Príncipe, que los insurrectos dominicanos habían constituido un gobierno provisional en Santiago eligiendo a un líder del país para presidir la república. Cruentos combates librados en Santiago entre las tropas dominicanas y la guarnición española dejaron cientos de bajas, forzando al general Santana, aliado de España, a refugiarse en los bosques cercanos a Azua. El reporte destacaba que el entusiasmo dominicano por la soberanía española se había desvanecido por completo, constriñendo a Madrid a despachar costosos contingentes militares de refuerzo.

According to the newspaper excerpt, eight to ten thousand Dominicans were in arms against Spanish troops, having burned Santiago to dislodge the Spaniards, while Spaniards burned Puerto Plata to deny refuge to natives. Foreigners reportedly handled all the business for both sides and stood to be the only ones with money when the war ended. Additionally, a report at San Cristobal stated the United States consul had a document that would benefit the U.S., following a failed Spanish military movement where the occupying force turned back upon hearing the enemy was accumulating ahead.

Según el extracto periodístico, entre ocho y diez mil dominicanos se encontraban en armas contra las tropas españolas tras haber incendiado Santiago para desalojar a los peninsulares, mientras que los españoles quemaron Puerto Plata para privar de refugio a los patriotas. Trascendió que los extranjeros canalizaban el comercio de ambos contendientes y apuntaban a ser los únicos beneficiados económicamente al concluir la guerra. Además, un informe de San Cristóbal señalaba que el cónsul de los Estados Unidos poseía un pliego favorable a su nación, tras un fallido repliegue militar español donde la fuerza expedicionaria retrocedió al conocerse la concentración de tropas enemigas al frente.

Following public concern over an announcement, English Ambassador Sir John Crampton requested instructions from Earl Russell regarding the Spanish blockade of the Dominican coasts. The English government consulted the legal advisers of the crown, whose opinion was favorable to recognizing the Dominicans as belligerents because Spain was bound by the maritime law of the Treaty of Paris to maintain a real and effective blockade. Earl Russell communicated this legal opinion to the Spanish representative in London, who promptly informed the Spanish government.

A raíz de la inquietud pública ante una proclama oficial, el embajador británico Sir John Crampton solicitó instrucciones a Earl Russell sobre el bloqueo español de las costas dominicanas. El gobierno británico consultó a los asesores jurídicos de la Corona, cuyo dictamen fue favorable a reconocer la beligerancia de los dominicanos, por cuanto España estaba obligada en virtud del derecho marítimo del Tratado de París a mantener un bloqueo real y efectivo. Earl Russell trasladó este dictamen jurídico al representante español en Londres, quien lo puso de inmediato en conocimiento del gobierno de Madrid.

According to *The New York Herald* on April 30, 1865, European monarchies were described as quaking with fear over the growing strength of the United States and its potential impact on Spanish possessions like Cuba and Porto Rico. The article specifically cited a fearful argument presented by the "Conqueror of Africa," which claimed the United States planned to send thousands of freed colored people to St. Domingo to form a negro nationality and army to ultimately attack and destroy Cuba. The newspaper dismissed this theory as a "raving of an imagination entirely possessed by fear," asserting that no dilatory measures would be needed if the United States truly intended to conquer European possessions.

Según *The New York Herald* del 30 de abril de 1865, las monarquías europeas temblaban de recelo ante el creciente poderío de los Estados Unidos y sus posibles repercusiones en las posesiones españolas de Cuba y Puerto Rico. El artículo citó en particular un medroso alegato esgrimido por el «Conquistador de África», quien aseguraba que los Estados Unidos proyectaban enviar a miles de libertos de color a Santo Domingo a fin de constituir una nacionalidad y un ejército negros con el propósito final de asaltar y arrasar a Cuba. El diario desestimó dicha teoría como el «desvarío de una imaginación presa del pánico», asegurando que los Estados Unidos no necesitarían recurrir a maniobras indirectas si de veras abrigaran el propósito de conquistar posesiones europeas.

Spanish garrisons were enclosed in Samana for two years and are now leaving the territory they failed to subjugate.

Asimismo, tan pronto como el gobierno dominicano recuperó el control de casi toda la geografía patria (salvo las plazas fuertes españolas), despachó un enviado a los Estados Unidos para tratar lo concerniente a la protección de los ciudadanos estadounidenses.

Meanwhile, the people of Santo Domingo were reportedly exasperated with the Baez administration—which was imprisoning adversaries and suspected of planning to abscond with state funds—and a revolution expected to elevate General Luperon or ex-President Cabral was imminent.

The newspaper noted that supporters of Baez, including Jesurun's father (who had previously aided him and loaned him money), were regretting their actions or feeling deceived. Additionally, the revolutionary committee of Jacmel offered Cabral full support to drive Baez from the island, while a prevailing reign of terror and scarcity of money had left business paralyzed.

A juzgar por el extracto periodístico, *The New York Herald* informó el 17 de junio de 1868 que los cabecillas de la revolución concertaban una acometida simultánea en todas las regiones de la República Dominicana para derrocar al presidente Báez, a quien suponían desprovisto de tropas y numerario para sofocar la rebelión. El rotativo señaló que allegados a Báez, entre ellos el padre de Jesurun (quien previamente le había facilitado auxilio y empréstitos), se lamentaban de su proceder o se confesaban defraudados. Además, el comité revolucionario de Jacmel ofreció al general Cabral total concurso para desalojar a Báez del territorio insular, al paso que el clima de terror reinante y la falta de liquidez mantenían por entero estancado el giro comercial.
