although there has never been an Of
fetal statement that this government

cd only that ne had expressed regret

Used that the murderers would be ap-
pretended and punished.

cident obtained from the state depart

standing the American flag was flying
on the house Of McManus and the

looted.
ION the next day the Brazilian min
lister sent a message which stated that

for publication. What was given out
Thursday was all that was available to
the official OF the department who
made the above statements.
The text for instance OF the demand
