SummaryResumen

The *San Antonio Daily Light* reported allegations by Dominican exiles that President Heureaux hired assassins who stabbed General Mosco in Ponce, Puerto Rico, to thwart an impending uprising. Mosco survived the attack and garnered backing from determined Dominican exiles in New York who opposed Heureaux's prolonged three-term rule. The exiles expressed confidence in the revolutionary movement following reports from Puerto Plata.

openly declare their belief that the

would-be assassins were in the pay of

President Hereaux, the desperate

method having been resorted to, they

claim, because Mosco was rapidly per

fecting his plans to return secretly to

San Domingo and start up an uprising

which Hereaux wanted to prevent by

any means. Mosco’s assailants in

Ponce came near killing him. He was

taken unawares and stabbed once be

fore he realized his danger, and then

managed to escape only because one

of the men, thinking a fatal blow had

been struck ran away and the other

was too scared and bewildered after

the flight of his companion to follow

up his attack.

Mosco is barely thirty-five years of

age. He was educated in this country

and speaks several languages with

fluency. His personal bravery is ex

tolled as highly as his mental accom

plishments. He refuses to discuss his

plans, but talks readily when President

Hereaux’s administration is mention

sition to the president, whom he freely

denounces. Dominican exiles are not

numerous in New York, but they make

up in determination what they lack

in numbers. They declare they Intend

to stake their all in the alleged Mosco

movement and base their hopes on re

cent advises from Porto Plata, San

domingo’s chief port, and are confident

that it will besuccessful.

Hereaux has been president of San

Domingo three terms, a much longer

term than any of his predecessors.

His enemies declare that he has been

able to retain the reigns of power so

long because he has been unscrupulous
