FASCISTS IN CHILE
SUDDEN REVOLT IN SANTIAGO SUPPRESSED BY GOVERNMENT TROOPS FIFTY-EIGHT PEOPLE KILLED Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright SANTIAGO (Chile), September 5. A Fascist uprising was put down after four hours of fighting, in which artillery and machine-gun fire threw the city into a panic. Young Chilean Nacistas, in a surprise attack, seized the university and the 10-story Workers’ Assurance Building, commanding the Presidential Palace. Carabineers faced a blaze of revolver fire, but after artillery had broken down the doors, the majority of the Nacista surrendered, more than 80 being arrested, including General Carlos Ibanez, the Nacista candidate for the Presidential elections on October 25. The Nacistas’ programme was borrowed from the German Nazis.
The Government announced that 58 were killed.
