DIPLOMACY FAILS.
REPRESSION IN HAVANA. MENDIETAS BREAKS STRIKE. (United Press Association—Copyright). HAVANA, March 13. With the revolutionary general strike apparently broken the Mendietas Government has started rounding up those it believes responsible and most lines of business are approaching normal. The police took hundreds of strikers, among them many Government employees, to the police stations and to the prisons in the army barracks. Fifty or more suspected leaders were held at Cabana Fortress.
The seeming collapse of the strike movement, which began several weeks ago with the walk-out of 300,000 students and teachers, came after the Government had exchanged a policy of diplomatic negotiation for one of vigorous repression.
