Bryan Makes Announcement, AL
though Informed of Insult at
Time of Murder.
SALUTE WON'T BE DEMANDED

WASHINGTON, March 25.--How
the American flag which was flying
over the home of John B. McManus,
a citizen of the United States, In
Mexico City was torn and dragged
half way down the pole" by Zapata
soldiers when they murdered Nc
Manus and looted his house two
weeks ago is told in dispatches from
the Brazilian minister made public
today by Secretary Bryan.
This incident was reported at the
time the death of McManus was being
investigated, but there had been no
announcement of it until today. Sec
retary Bryan said reparation for the
insult to the flag had been asked for
from Zapata authorities, but that so
far no reply had come. In answer
to inquiries he said there had been
no demand for a salute to the flag as
n the Tampico affair.
Expresses Regret.
An expression of regret for the killing
Of McManus already has been received
from General Palafox, the Zapata com
mander, with a promise of indemnity for
the family and punishment for the STAY
ers IL apprehended.
Mr.. Bryan explained that the Brazilian
minister in reporting McManus' death on
March II mentioned only the fact that
the American flag was flying over the
house.
The next day he sent a further report
referring to "the desecration of the flag. ="
An inquiry from the department as to
what this meant brought an explanation
on March is that an American commit
tee which investigated the occurrence re-
ported to him that following fusillad-
ing which preceded the general entry of
The Zapatistas into the house the flag
was badly torn by the Zapatistas and
iragged half way down the pole"
The same committee. the minister re-
ported. had submitted 70 him photo
graph of the house and flag.
Several Flags Violated.
In this connection it became known to-
day that several foreign flags had been
violated recently at Manzanillo, among
them the American flag over the house
Of an American ranchman. When the
matter was called to the attention of
General Carranza he denied the truth OF
the reports of American and British
consula.

LONDON. March 25.-The British
admiralty stated this evening that 1t
thought the German submarine U-29,
which recently sank four British and
one French steamer in the English
channel and damaged threesother YES
sells, had been sunk with all hands.
The text OF the official statement
follows;
THE admiralty has good reasons
to believe that the German subma-
rine U-29 has been sunk with all
hands"
The German submarine U-29 dis
placed 500 tons and was one OF the
largest and fastest OF the German
undersea boats.
Two weeks ago the U-29 made a
raid off the Scilly Islands and in the
channel, sinking four British steam
ers and one French steamer and
damaging three other vessels.
The submarine was chased by pa
troll boats, but 1t proved too elusive
for them and when steamers tried to
ram or escape 1t they found that the
submarine was a much faster boat
than its sister craft.
The German commander gave the
crews of most of the steamers time
to leave their vessels and IN some
cases towed them in lifeboats to pass
ing steamers In which the seamen
were taken TO port
