SummaryResumen

The *Springfield Weekly Republican* reported that Dominican President Rafael Trujillo maintained total control over national elections, running his Dominican Party unopposed and suppressing domestic opposition with an iron hand. Meanwhile, Dominican exiles in Cuba under former Vice President Rafael Estrella Ureña were reportedly organizing an expedition against Trujillo, with some Cuban youths attempting to join their cause. Opposition actions abroad had thus far been limited to minor incidents such as the mobbing of three diplomats in Havana.

Entretanto, según se reportó, exiliados dominicanos en Cuba bajo la dirección del exvicepresidente Rafael Estrella Ureña organizaban una expedición contra Trujillo, y algunos jóvenes cubanos intentaban sumarse a su causa. Hasta entonces, las acciones opositoras en el exterior se habían limitado a incidentes menores, como la agresión a tres diplomáticos en La Habana.
