Gadsden Treaty in doubt as Santa Anna lien looms
The Richmond Mail reports a Baltimore Sun letter stating a Mexican lien on territory ceded to the United States could trigger a costly dispute. It recounts Gadsden and Santa Anna’s 1850s negotiations, the proposed ten million indemnity, and fears of a mismanaged treaty that might cost the U.S. one million plus interest. The piece links Santa Anna to a cash demand and argues the whole bargain risks loss and betrayal by officials.
