The news that we were facing a death
sentence before an American military
commission in our own country leaked
out through Cuba and Porto Rico to
South America, and storm of indgna-
ton and protest was raised in the sis
ter countries. Cablegrams from every
LatinAmerican capital were sent to
Washington, to the White House and
State Department. SO widespread was
the scandal that it tended to impress,
perhaps, more than anything else upon
the Washington authorities the neces-
slty for change in the conditions to
which our country was, subjected.
No death sentence was passed, but
| received a sentence of five years at
hard labor, which was later reduced to
three years and fine of $500. In

Lugo's trial never was finished. be-
cause by the time he went on trial the
scandal created in South America had
induced the Washington authorities to

All the incarcerated newspaper men
we're subjected to the same treatment
mixed up with criminal convicts,
forced to wear the convict garb, to
share the coarse and insufficient prison
fare, and some were put at hard labor
in stone uuarries and on road construc-
ton.
All the men sentenced, without ex-
cepton, were Dominican citizens of re-
fnement and education, whose only
crime was to voice the grievances OF
their countrymen.

dampness and the insufficient food.
