BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 21.-As the result of the publication of telegrams sent by Count von Luxburg, the former German minister, to the Berlin foreign office, it again has been necessary to call out mounted patrols to disperse crowds of people who demanded a rup- ture of relations with Germany. The mob, which was shouting long live the republc!" and death to. President Iri- goyen!" was dispersed after a fight with the mounted police in the Calle Florida.
 Heavy guards again have been placed over the property owned by Germans in the city and mounted men also are guarding the office of the newspaper To Union. for which Count von Lux burg obtained a subsidy.
 In political circles certainty is eX- pressed that congress will demand ex- plantations from the government re- gardng the state of affairs as exposed by the Von LuXburg telegrams. The general belief is that the publication of the documents will lead to new de- mands for the severance of relations with Germany, congress having already refused to sanction the budget ap- propriation for continuing the Argen- tine legation in Berlin, which was in- sisted on by the organs of President Irigoyen.
 Street comment indicates that the public is not satisfied with the gov ernment's statement which accompan jed the publication of the von LuXburg teleSrams.
 The newspaper La Patria Degli Ital- ianl. in commenting on the publication by the Argentine government of the secret diplomatic telegrams of Count von Luxburg. the former German min ister to Argentina, says: --
 We would like to believe the gov ernments note introducing the tele- grams, but it's words of today do not agree with the facts of yesterday. The government answers the telegram with simple affirmations and without proofs. No one can deny the facts of the last months"
 The newspaper then summarizes the evidence in the affair among which is: Count Luxburg assured Germany of President Irigoyen's friendship. which has been confirmed by his patience in awaiting the Toro note until August | 2S; von LuXburg speaks of the agree ment with Irigoyen in which it was | specified that no more Argentine ships | would sail for the war zone. and it is a ! fact that since August 2S the govern ment has impeded and often refused clearing any vessel carrying the Ar | genuine flag and nothing more has beer said of the Oriana sinking.
 Tt also is true that in October this ! government proclaimed it's friendship for Spain and Japan, as predicted by von LuXburg on August IS. If the tele- grams are false, von Luxburg at least divined the events which later hap pened and many international circum- stances occurred as he predicted.
 Argentina tried to prevent the visif of the American squadron and the pub. lie wondered why Won Luxburg ex. plains to his government the repug. nance of Irigoyen toward American. and the English Fernando Saguie1 went to Bolivia and Chile apparently on a visit of courtesy, but von Luxburt explains that Friead Saguiery was em
 bodied with ample powers to arrange secret agreement against the United
 States.
 . Won Luxburg now is without author
 ity from both Germany and Argentina although Germany gave him confiden
 tiai instruction after those most no
 torious telegrams, and Argentina, afte
 giving him his passports, permits hin to remain undisturbed in the country
 Why? His friends say 1t is becaus Argentine knows that he can revea
 further scandals when he reached Der
 lin. This contradiction between tn
 words of the government today and if
 acts of yesterday perplexes us"
