A message from Buenos Aires states that no explanation is yet available of the mysterious heavy cannon-firing and fusillading in the neighbourhood of Government House last evening.

Fifty people were injured, but the public apparently are ignorant of the reason for the outbreak.

Later telephone messages stated that a great fire had started near Government House.

The armoury on Calle Cangallo appears to be burning.
