SummaryResumen

The Evening Star reported that Dominican Ambassador Julio Ortega Frier alleged an army of 3,000 revolutionaries recruited from Cuba, Guatemala, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico was preparing in Cuba to invade and overthrow President Rafael Trujillo. Officials from Cuba, Guatemala, and Venezuela denied the allegations, while reports of an expedition leaving eastern Cuba remained unconfirmed. The U.S. State Department acknowledged hearing rumors of the invasion force but refrained from commenting due to insufficient evidence.

El *Evening Star* informó que el embajador dominicano Julio Ortega Frier denunció que una fuerza expedicionaria de 3.000 revolucionarios, reclutados en Cuba, Guatemala, Venezuela y Puerto Rico, se concentraba en Cuba para invadir la República Dominicana y derrocar al presidente Rafael Trujillo. Autoridades de Cuba, Guatemala y Venezuela rechazaron las imputaciones, mientras no se confirmaban las versiones del zarpe de una flotilla armada desde el oriente cubano. El Departamento de Estado de EE. UU. admitió estar al tanto de los rumores sobre el contingente sedicioso, pero declinó fijar posición formal por falta de elementos de prueba concluyentes.
