SummaryResumen

The Evening Star reported that Cuban political leaders sharply condemned President Ramon Grau San Martin following the Cuban army's suppression of a 1,500-man expedition organized to invade the Dominican Republic. Senators Eduardo Chibas and Aurelio Alvarez accused Grau of using the anti-Trujillo movement to destabilize Cuban politics and consolidate personal dictatorial power. Military authorities detained over 1,100 expedition members and seized four ships along with extensive stockpiles of arms and explosives.
