BUENOS AYRES, Sept. l3.-Count
Won Luxburg, the German Minister
whose passports were sent to the Ger
man Legation yesterday by the Argen-
tine government because his objection
able messages to Berlin through the
Swedish Foreign Office had rendered
him persona non grata. lodged threat
ening crowds which were awaiting him
on his arrival at Buenos Ayres from
the interior to-day.
Count Won Luxburg was persuaded
by the police to leave the train at San
Martin, twelve miles outside, when
news of the crowds that had gathered
at the Buenos Ayres railway terminal
reached them. The chief of police was
on hand with his automobile at San
Martin, together with large guard OF
secret service men, and the count was
conveyed to his home in the CHIEFS
car.

know absolutely nothing. What mas
transpired?"
Shown His Messages
The count, however. although showr
the Washington messages of last Sat
urday, exposing his suggestion tina
Argentine ships be sunk "withou
leaving a trace" and his dispersion
upon the acting Minister Of ForeiG'
Affairs OF Argentina, ignored an in
vitstion to deny their authenticity.
Thousands of persons congregate,
tonight along the Avenidss Mayo snC
Florida in an attempt 20 organize an
other anti-German demonstration anC
to demand a rupture of relations witt
Germany. Acting under the orders o.
President lrigoyen, however, squads o.
mounted police were sent out TO main
tain order. They frequently charged
crowds that endesvored to assemble
using their sabres freely. Many citi
zens were injured ana q number OF po
lcemen also received hurts.
The crowds rsided newsstands of edi
tons of the German newspaper IL;
Union and also took copies from
newsboys in the streets and made bon
fires of them on street corners.
The activity OF the police during the
evening prevented large crowds from
concentrating at one point in the city
long enough to do serious damage.
The mobe resisted the police, whc
charged repeatedly, and several Of the
police were injured by vitriol throw
at them. A police lieutenant was badly
burned and taken to the hospital.
The Foreign Office had no intorma'
tion to-day as to when Count Won Lux
burg would leave Argentina or what
route he would take on his journey
The general opinion in diplomatic
circles is that Won Luxburg will go "a
Paraguay. to whlch country ne IS also
accredited as minister, provided Para
quay agrees.
Smash German Stores
The rioting, which began late yester
day, continued throughout the night
Every German business house and rest
aurant in the downtown district was
wrecked. The German Club and other
buildings were dal- aged seriously 5y
FIRE. The police wounded seven rioters
seriously when they fired into the
crowd. Three OF the injured are ex'
pected to die.
The Cabinet late last night approved
the action of President Irigoyen in pre-
senting passports to Count Luxburg. II
is said to have considered similar ac'
tion in the case Of Baron Lowen, the
Swedish Minister, but no action will be
taken pending the receipt Of further
details from Washington and Stock.
