AFTER THE REVOLUTION

AUSTRALIAN AT BUENOS AYRES INCIDENTS OF THE RISING (By Telegraph—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Ist December. Dr. W. G. Woolnough, of Canberra, who visited Buenos Ayres in September to study the oilfields, arrived at Wellington. Mr Woodnough is geological advisor to the Commonwealth Government, and was on a Government mission for the purpose of inspecting and reporting on up-to-date methods of prospecting on large oilfields. He narrowly missed the insurrection at Buenos Ayres, arriving there a few clays after it had finished, although the population was still extremely jumpy. The revolution proper took place on Saturday, 6th September, and there was another outbreak on the following Monday. Although it was being fought on a popular question, and interest was widespread in the republic, the uprising was confined entirely to Buenos Ayres itself. "Certain parts of the city were fairly well shot up," said D. Woolnough, "and it is safe to say that there were a good many more casualties than were reported. While it lasted the fighting in Buenos Ayres was quito serious and field guns were used in the streets. The bulk of the population," he added, "were highly satisfied with the result." To illustrate the nervous feeling among (he populace, Mr Woolnough related that at the railway station refreshment room one of the waiters inadvertently dropped a pile of plates. They fell with a clatter and everyone in the place immediately rushed to cover behind pillars and everywhere whore partial concealment was afforded. They resumed their places when the situation became clear, but the plates falling had cleared the place for a few seconds. "There is no doubt," said Mr Woolnough, "that the present Government has the entire confidence of the people." Don't neglect Septic Finger-nails !
