Clashes between Chilean police and anti-government demonstrators in Santiago left two dead, 27 injured and 275 arrested, police reported. They said a man and a woman were shot to death in southern Santiago, but they provided no details. Police battled protesters who erected barricades of burning tires during a power failure that affected a 1,000-mile-long region of central Chile. A leftist rebel group, the Manuel Rodriguez Patriotic Front, said it caused the blackout, which lasted several hours, by blowing up several electrical pylons.
