The Ambassador in Cuba (Guggenheim) to the Secretary of State

144. Cavalry no longer patrolling streets of Habana and troops have been withdrawn from active police duty. Habana quiet and no reports of any disorders of size in the interior. Newspapers still refusing to publish under Government supervision. Senator Barerras announced today that his negotiations with students were at an end since the latter would not confine their demands to University questions [Page 673] but extended them to political topics. Condition of Tagle improved.

Widespread dissatisfaction with what might be called deadlock between the Government and Opposition.
