| citizens were on the alert armed with
rifles. After nightfall the Ciyicas ad-
vanced two blocks. The PROFESSIONALS
reopened heavy military fire at dawn
to-day on troops under Vice President

A terrible mistake occurred during the
fighting The Eleventh regiment sud
denly turning in favor Of the Provisional

BON harding Bulletins announce that
the revolution has triumphed. 1t is
certain that the PROFESSIONALS up 10 the
present have had the best Of the fight !
The armistice negotiations continue at
the Government House. The adherents |
of Celman are positive that 8, 900 troops |
and forty pieces OF artillery are ready |
when the armistice is over to attack the |
Civicas

troops have occupied the houses around |
the Plaza Mayo and have placed light |

that it is contrary to the rules of war TO
lombard an open city without notice.
