165. Groveist outbreak this afternoon centering at the University was vigorously suppressed by the police. Several killed and many were wounded and taken prisoners. One opinion is that it is an isolated incident; another that it was a premature phase of a general Left revolt planned for this week end. All is quiet in Santiago tonight.
Zañartu, Minister of Hacienda, resigned tonight giving as his reason refusal of the Cabinet to approve his inflation scheme.
