peregrinations he finally found haven

in the Dominican Republic.

President Trujillo, a close friend of

Machado, offered him a huge domain

in the island and gave him extrater

ritorial privileges. Machado settled

down with his family and got him

self a guard of 130 Cuban uniformed

henchmen to form his personal guard.

Neither the Dominican police nor the

army was allowed to trespass on

Machado’s property.

threatened Trujillo with reprisals

possible.

down in peace and enjoy the millions

he has been able to salt away while

he wras Cuba’s dictator.
