BL'ENOS AIRES, Jan. 12. (By the
Associated Press.) Although the iron
workers' strike was settled yesterday
and the general strike which had been
declared by the Regional Federation
was called off last night, there was
only a slight decrease in the acts of
anarchy during last night and today.
The federation, which is known as an
anarchistic organization, issued a state
ment today disclaiming any connection
with the lawlessness, which it was as
serted was due to foreign agitators.
Throughout last night and durin
today there Was shooting in various
parts of the city and cavalry patroM
clashed with armed groups of men.
Probably the most serious fighting
took place at daybreak at the peni
tentiary, the city water works and at
several police stations.
The Fifth and .12th cavalry arrived
in Buenos Aires today and there also
came into the city 300 Marines and a
regiment of mountain artillery, the lat
ter being mounted.
Early this morning rioters set fire
to the central market, in which several
million pounds of River Plata wooL
were stored. The market, which is the
largest wool market In the world, had
been closed eince the withdrawal of
the American wool commission and
lack of buying. This afternoon a mob
set fire to a large print paper ware
house.
General Dellepiane, who assumed tho
military dictatorship last P'riday, said
today that the settlement of the strike
had improved the situation, but that
the troops would continue their activi
ties in view of the anarchistic out
breaks which were being led by for
eigners. Simultaneously with the an
nouncement of General Dellepiane thou
sands of civilians reported to the police
stations to enroll for the common de
fense. Many persons offered their au
tomobiles and horses, and even their
homes, in the general movement to as
sist the army in suppressing (he dis
orders. In many instances the residents of
entire neighborhoods enlisted as a
whole and were armed at the police
stations, where they remained in re
serve for possible calls to duty. Hun
dreds of students who are not required
to attend their classes also are held in
readiness for emergency and today
were being drilled under the direction
of Rear-Admiral Garcia.
Many Agitators Arrested.
Two hundred agitators thus far have
been arrested. None of them has been
placed in jail, but all have been in
terned aboard warships or in the mili
tary barracks. They include a well
known anarchist, who had been riding
vildly through the city on horseback,
agitating open rebellion.
The food situation in liucnos Aires
was more critical today. Meat was not
obtainable and vegetables were scarce.
The prices for vegetables were so high
that the poor were unable to purchase
them.
The few milkmen who received sup
plies from suburban farms i agreed to
pour the milk into the gutters, fearing
that they were likely to meet the fate
of their comrades who attempted tu
serve milk in the I'hiza Hotel Sat
urday.
General Dellepiane today accepted
the offer of an American packing
house to supply the army and the
police force with beef. The offer, how
ever, did not extend to tho public.
Some of the street railroads wero op
erating today with infantrymen on the
platforms.
Smoke rail Over ( llj.
The city was permeated today by a
thick white smoke from burning gar
bage. The garbage for several days
had been dumped on the street corners
and it was considered nece.ssary by the
Board of Health that it should be dis- .
posed of In order to prevent possible I
pestilence.
The newspaper Critican this after
noons ays that the casualties resulting
from the disorders thus far aggregate
113 persons killed snd 700 wounded, it
is admitted by the police authorities
that the figures compiled by the po
ice do not include all the casualties.
It is declared that in organized at
tacks, such as those on the peniten
tiary and the water works, the rioters
removed their dead and wounded.
