Give Luxburg
His Passports
German Attache Faces Dis
missal as Result Of
Disclosures

oinclal OF the ForelRn Onlce salu TINS
afternoon that Count LuIburg, the
German charge, would be handed his
passports as the result Of Secretary
Lansing's revelations regarding the
Swedish Legation here.
The long delayed dispatches from
Ambassador Naon at Washington were
received by the Foreign Minister late
this afternoon. They did not contain
all the information the Foreign Minis
ter desired. and the Argentine Ambss-
sador was instructed to see Secretary
Lansing Immediately, presumably to
obtain more details. Action by the
government awaits the result of the
conference between Ambassador Naon
and Secretary Lansing.
Students in Demonstration
Hundreds of students took part in
a great demonstration tonight. They
marched through the streets, waving
flags and shouting: Passports! Pass
ports!" The demonstration was anti
Swedish, as we'll as anti-German.
Mounted patrols are guarding the
city tonight. Squads of police are pro-
tecting the German and Swedish lega-
tions and the German newspaper of
fees. Serious disorders are threatened,
but it is believed that the strong
guards will be able to prevent out
breaks.
II is reported at the Foreign Office
that the Argentine government to-mor-
row will ask Berlin and Stockholm for
explanations, and that, if these gov
ernments disavow the action Of their
respective legations, the matter will be
considered personal, and the two dip
lomatic representatives, in question,
Luxburg and Lowen, will be given
their passports.
Swedish Explanation
In a brief explanation to-day Of it's
part in the transmission of dispatches
from the German Charge to Berlin the
Swedish Legation declared that Ger
man telegrams had been accepted in
the same manner as the Swedish gov
ernment had forwarded dispatches for
the British and American govern
ments. 1t was added by the legation
that the dispatches were in code and
the contents were unknown 70 the
members of the legation. The charges,
if any, it declared. must be made
against Berlin.
1t was stated at the British Legation
that the Swedish Legation at Buenos
Ayres had never forwarded any dis
patches on the British account
An Argentine patriotic society has
issued a statement urging that Count
LuXburg must not be given his pass
ports, but tried for a criminal offence
of melting the assassination OF Argen-
tine citizens. This action is impossible,
however, as diplomatic representatives
are immune from court Summonses.
The Foreign Minister announces that
the steamers Oran and Guezo, referred
to in one of the messages sent by
Count Luxburg through the Swedish
Legation 10 the German Foreign OFF ice,
arrived at French ports in June after
Luxburg had sent his dispatch.
All documents relating 70 questions
between Argentina and Germany have
been published, the Foreign Minister
declared to-day, adding that nothing
had been held in reserve and that there
is not now, and never had been, a pact,
written or oral, with Germany limiting
in any way the freedom of Argentine
shipping.
Further doubt concerning Argen-
tina's faith and truthfulness after this
declaration must be considered a ma
tional offence" the Foreign Minister
declared. He added that the best proof
of the inexactness of Count Luxburg's
May ! 8 dispatch was that eight Argen-
tine steamers cleared for the war zone
during June.
