Mr. Loomis to Mr. Squiers.

No. 319.]

Sir: Referring to former correspondence in regard to the killing of E. A. Murray, I have to request that you will ask the foreign office to advise you as to the result of the investigation which Mr. Zaldo on November 9 last stated had been ordered “to find out what responsibility there may be on the part of the police on duty at the police headquarters of Puerto Principe.”

You will inform the Department of the result of your inquiry.

I am, etc.,

F. B. Loomis.
Acting Secretary.
