SummaryResumen

*The National Tribune* reported that German threats to impose high tariffs on Dominican tobacco provoked political discontent and rumors of revolt in the island's tobacco-growing districts, further complicating President Heureaux's position. The paper characterized the international controversy as exaggerated, pointing out that total Dominican commerce was modest and that recent gains in American exports had merely displaced European competitors.

El periódico calificó la controversia internacional de exagerada, señalando que el comercio total dominicano era modesto y que los recientes incrementos en las exportaciones estadounidenses se limitaban a desplazar a los competidores europeos.
