EL AUTOR es periodista y especialista en Pol\u00edtica Exterior. Reside en Santo Domingo.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Un mes despu\u00e9s de proclamada la Constituci\u00f3n de la Rep\u00fablica, el 6 de noviembre de 1844, que cre\u00f3 las bases jur\u00eddicas del Estado dominicano, el presidente Pedro Santana design\u00f3 como enviado plenipotenciario ante el gobierno de los Estados Unidos, al doctor Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Caminero, para lograr el reconocimiento de la Rep\u00fablica.<\/p>\n

El cinco de diciembre de 1844, el general Santana se dirige al presidente de los Estados Unidos, John Tyler, para notificarle la separaci\u00f3n de la parte espa\u00f1ola de Santo Domingo y para presentarle al doctor Caminero en su misi\u00f3n especial.<\/p>\n

Caminero llevaba como secretario al capit\u00e1n Jos\u00e9 Billini. Recibieron tambi\u00e9n la misi\u00f3n de parte del secretario de Justicia, Instrucci\u00f3n P\u00fablica y Relaciones Exteriores, Tom\u00e1s Bobadilla, de la compra y adquisici\u00f3n de armas, as\u00ed como la acu\u00f1aci\u00f3n de $50,000 pesos en cobre.<\/p>\n

Los comisionados llegaron a Estados Unidos en los primeros d\u00edas de enero de 1845 y fueron recibidos en Washington por el secretario de Estado John Calhoun. La misi\u00f3n logr\u00f3 que Estados Unidos enviara Santo Domingo al comisionado John Hogan, para que rindiese un informe sobre la situaci\u00f3n de la nueva Rep\u00fablica.<\/p>\n

Pese a que Hogan rindi\u00f3 un informe favorable, esa misi\u00f3n no tuvo \u00e9xitos, primero porque en los primeros meses de 1845 en Washington se preparaba la sucesi\u00f3n presidencial para entregar el poder a James K. Polk, que hab\u00eda ganado las elecciones del mes de noviembre, y quien se juramentar\u00eda el 4 de marzo, y segundo porque Estados Unidos estaba bastante ocupado con los problemas fronterizos con M\u00e9xico.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Kolff<\/b><\/p>\n

Esa fue la primera misi\u00f3n dominicana en Washington, con un car\u00e1cter especial, pero la primera misi\u00f3n residente que registra la historia la dirigi\u00f3 el se\u00f1or Cornelius G. Kolff, quien fue designado como c\u00f3nsul en Nueva York el 24 de agosto de 1859.<\/p>\n

En 1849, el gobierno dominicano hab\u00eda designado a un se\u00f1or llamado John Gaillard como c\u00f3nsul en Nueva York, pero nunca lleg\u00f3 a ejercer, pues al parecer Estados Unidos no lo acept\u00f3.<\/p>\n

Kolff era un pr\u00f3spero comerciante de aquella urbe, que al parecer ten\u00eda negocios con dominicanos, por lo cual se le design\u00f3 en el cargo. En la antig\u00fcedad se sol\u00eda designar como c\u00f3nsules a personalidades de prestancia del mismo pa\u00eds receptor.<\/p>\n

Siguiendo su rastro, he encontrado que tuvo un hijo, que llev\u00f3 su mismo nombre, inscrito en los registros como Cornelius G. Kolff Jr., quien naci\u00f3 en 1860, en Nuevo York. Kolff Jr., cas\u00f3 con la se\u00f1ora Emilie P. Koff, nacida en Hamburgo, Alemania, con quien procre\u00f3 un hijo que llev\u00f3 el mismo nombre del padre y del abuelo, nacido en 1885.<\/p>\n

Kolff II muri\u00f3 el 27 de febrero de 1950, en Staten Island, y est\u00e1 enterrado en el Moravian Cementery, de la misma ciudad. (Ver mi obra Misiones Diplom\u00e1ticas Dominicanas en EEUU durante la primera Rep\u00fablica).<\/p>\n

La familia era due\u00f1a del barco de pasajeros que desapareci\u00f3 misteriosamente en 1963, con 400 pasajeros a bordo, cuando se dirig\u00edan al centro de Nueva York a trabajar. Hay un monumento en Staten Island para recordar la tragedia.<\/p>\n

La gesti\u00f3n de Kolff se pierde en la bruma de los archivos, pero a finales de 1860 estaba todav\u00eda en funciones, y por eso pretendo que su funci\u00f3n termin\u00f3 el mismo 18 de marzo de 1861 cuando fue proclamada la Anexi\u00f3n a Espa\u00f1a y ese d\u00eda el ministro de Relaciones Exteriores, Pedro Ricart y Torres, pasaba la circular n\u00famero 597 a los c\u00f3nsules dominicanos en Saint-Thomas, Jamaica, Curazao, G\u00e9nova, Hamburgo, Cuba, Havre, Valencia, Londres y Par\u00eds, inform\u00e1ndole de \u201cla reincorporaci\u00f3n a Espa\u00f1a\u201d y notific\u00e1ndoles el cese de sus funciones.<\/p>\n
