The Chargé in the Dominican Republic (Cabot) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 5.]
Sir: I have the honor to report that the last week has been characterized by no salient events and that marking time seems to be the order until August 16.
Following the receipt of the Department’s telegram No. 31 of July 22—1 P.M., I immediately discussed with Trujillo the most appropriate use which could be made of the information that the American Government would recognize him and would appoint Mr. Curtis special representative for the inaugural ceremonies. Both of us deeming it advisable that the news be published immediately, I gave the information respecting the forthcoming appointment of Mr. Curtis to the press, and pointed out that this indicated the intention of the American Government to recognize Trujillo.

Respectfully yours,
