Quote #4
Amongst the cries of the mob not the least loud had been the cry of death to foreigners. It was, indeed, a lucky circumstance for Sulaco that the relations of those imported workmen with the people of the country had been uniformly bad from the first. (II.1.2)
Silver lining? Apparently railway workers (who are described as mostly Basque and Italian) were even more committed to defending the city from protests and looting because they had never really gotten along with the indigenous population.
Quote #5
Less than six months after the President-Dictator's visit, Sulaco learned with stupefaction of the military revolt in the name of national honour. The Minister of War, in a barrack-square allocution to the officers of the artillery regiment he had been inspecting, had declared the national honour sold to foreigners. The Dictator, by his weak compliance with the demands of the European powers—for the settlement of long outstanding money claims—had showed himself unfit to rule. (II.2.3)
Anger at foreign influences in Costaguana is at the heart of the Monterist uprising. Well, at least according to the Monteros. And the Monteros aren't the most reliable source in the world.
Quote #6
It was generally believed that with her foreign upbringing and foreign ideas the learned and proud Antonia would never marry—unless, indeed, she married a foreigner from Europe or North America, now that Sulaco seemed on the point of being invaded by all the world. (II.2.13)
The implication here seems to be that, having been exposed to foreign ideas/education, Antonia wouldn't be interested in getting married to a Costaguanero, probably because she had become too snooty. Also, that's kind of a sad throwaway line about Sulaco being invaded by the world, right?
