174. The authorities suspended publication of Diario de la Marina last Thursday and arrested editor because of alleged subversive articles. There have been no disorders during the week, excepting minor disturbances resulting from nightly explosions of small bombs on streetcar tracks and in vicinity of Government buildings.
