SummaryResumen

The *Evening Star* reported that Dominican authorities alleged a large number of Dominican farmers were killed or wounded in an attack by Haitians on a frontier community. Haitian Interior Minister Duvigneaud denied knowledge of any new border clashes, while the Haitian government maintained that tension stemmed from unprovoked Dominican massacres claiming at least 5,000 Haitian lives. Haitian Legation officials dismissed the Dominican reports as organized propaganda.

Funcionarios de la Legación de Haití descartaron los informes dominicanos calificándolos de propaganda deliberada.
