WAR AGAINST POLICE CAUSES TWO DEATHS

State ot Siege May Be Proclaimed In Argentina. Buenos Ayres. May 4.—The strike movement inaugurated in protest against the killing of a number of persons by the police during May day celebrations is practically general. A collision occurred between strikers and men who attempted to operate street cars. Two men were killed and several wounded. All the stores in the central districts are closed. The workmen’s federation and the union of workers prepared for a demonstration in front of the morgue, having expressed their determination to accompany the bodies of the police men's victims to the cemetery. The ceremony was postponed. It is possible that a state of siege may be proclaimed.
