SummaryResumen
The Evening Star reported that Cuban Foreign Minister Aureliano Sanchez Arango planned to present evidence to the OAS Peace Committee demonstrating that the Dominican interception of the unarmed vessel *Quetzal* constituted high-seas piracy. Sanchez Arango argued that the ship was seized near Cape San Antonio, far from Dominican territory, and threatened to take the case to the United Nations and the World Court if Cuban crewmen were not freed. Dominican Foreign Minister Virgilio Diaz Ordonez prepared to argue the Dominican case before the committee, amidst reports that Guatemalan prisoners might soon be released.
El *Evening Star* informó que el ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Cuba, Aureliano Sánchez Arango, planeaba presentar pruebas ante la Comisión de Paz de la OEA para demostrar que la interceptación dominicana del buque desarmado *Quetzal* constituía piratería en alta mar. Sánchez Arango sostuvo que el barco fue capturado cerca del cabo de San Antonio, lejos de territorio dominicano, y amenazó con llevar el caso ante las Naciones Unidas y la Corte Internacional de Justicia si los tripulantes cubanos no eran liberados. El canciller dominicano Virgilio Díaz Ordóñez se preparaba para exponer los argumentos dominicanos ante el comité, en medio de informes sobre la posible pronta liberación de prisioneros guatemaltecos.
