Yesterday by Xapata troopers as they

porting the affair To the state Depart

minister's dispatch intimated that the
killing may have been one of revenge,
for il was charged that when the
Zapata troops recently occupied the
capital MCNianus had killed three of
their number.
american Flag Over House
The fact that the American flag had
been hoisted over the house and the
doors had been sealed by the consul
of a neutral power was taken by Off
cials here to indicate that either
McN1anus felt he was in danger or that
all foreigners we're fearful of their
safety with the entry of the Zapata
troops and took steps for protection.
The killing Of the American is de-
scribed in the official dispatches as
and emotion in the foreign colony.
The Brazilian minister reported that
General Sala2ar. tho Zapata COM
mander. had promised to find the
guilty troopers and punish them. The
official dispatches telling of the killing
did not contain great detail. but indi-
Gated that there was dispute over
whether McManus or the Zapata SOL
diers began the shooting. 1t was
added. however, that the Americans
hat was shot full of holes, with evil
dences that the firing was done at
close range.

ing was received in official quarters
with evidences Of deep concern. The
brazilian minister's dispatches arrived
