[Received September 14—10:20 a.m.]

48. Your 36, September 10, noon. Indications are that there is a cessation in the smuggling of arms. Most of the arms were furnished during the months of May, June and July. Frequent conferences with the Provisional Government on this matter and Military Governor submitted all information obtained from brigade intelligence agents. Dominican national police have captured about 600 revolvers and rifles.
