MADRID, December 11-A general
strike, supported by Syndicalists, spread
over Spain today as violence subsided
following the capture of the Villaneuva
military barracks, in which rebel forces
had withstood a terrific bombardmenr.
Despite the increase of strikes, COM
merce and industry generally went or
as usual, apparently confident the walk
out movement would collapse. Only
in a few places did Socialists CO.
operate with the Communists and An
archists who fomented the bloody dis
orders Of the past three days.
Government troops, supported by
cannon, early today charged the VIII
laneuva barracks, where the rebel flag
had flown since yesterday, and took
slain.
These known dead brought to IS the
number slaiD in the anarchist revolu-
tionary movement which broke out Fri
day and which flared with new vio-
lence in Central and Northeastern
Spain yesterday.
Attack at Dawn.
Throughout the night the civilian
defenders. under a renegade army ser
geant, withstood machine gun fire.
Finally two army planes were ordered
from Madrid to bomb the barracks.
But when dawn came and the planes
had not arrived, the colonel in charge
of the troops ordered the final charge.
1t was not known whether the SER
geant leader of the uprising was among
the dead, as the bidies were all dressed
in civilian clothes and unidentified.
Assault troops and civil guards were
dispatched to surrounding towns TO
overcome Extremist manifestations.
Meanwhile, with the situation in
other parts of the revolt affected region
remaining tense, the government con-
sidered declaring martial law.
An attempt to burn the fourteenth
century Church of San Marina, which
recently was declared a national monu-
ment, was frustrated by police, but they
did not succeed in extinguishing the fire
until after valuable hand-carved doors
had been destroyed.
Madrid was fairly quiet today.
Bomb Factory Discovered.
Police discovered bomb factory in
Madrid, in which they said incendiary
bombs of a type used in the Barcelona
terrorist campaign we're being manufac-
tured. The bombs we're found to have
attached vessels containing mixture
of gasoline and benzine. Two of those
arrested said they were designed for use
in firing converts.
At Seville, railroad workers joined
the strike movement, paralyzing traffic
Sixteen machinists and flremen were
arrested and number of factories
closed.
Extremists attempted to burn Ma
drid orphanage housing more than 1000
children. but the fire was extinguished
with little damage.
Firemen found the doors had been
saturated with gasoline before they
were ignited. The government ordered
the arrest of Syndicalist workers on the
railroads when the Syndicalist Railway
Union decided to join the strike.
Early this morning Barcelona au-
thorities stationed IA trucks carrying
machine gunners in districts held by
Extremists to halt the terrorist bomb
ings and incendiarism.
Barcelona suffered from sporadic OUT
breaks of fighting Sunday, along with
Madrid, and numerous towns through
out Central and Eastern Spain were
subjected to literal reign Of terror.
