A grave conspiracy is alleged by the Argentine Govern- ment

to have taken place in the Argentine Republic, the object being to banish President Cehnan from the country. General Campos, Colonel Figueroa, Major Garesita, and other officers have been arrested, and for the last five or six days there has been a good deal of panic at Buenos Ayres, which was, however, cooling down at the last advices. The officers arrested are to be tried by court-martial, and the cavalry detachments which had been guarding Government House had been withdrawn. Certainly the whole of South America appears to have caught the contagion of revolution from Brazil, so that it is impossible to predict how far the fermentation will go, or where it will cease.
