812.00 Colima/8: Telegram
The Vice Consul at Manzanillo (Mall) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 12—11:30 a.m.]
The following telegram has been sent the Embassy:
“June 11, 11 a.m. There are strong and persistent rumors that the revolutionists will again attack Manzanillo. Conversations had with reliable and well informed business men confirm the report. The revolutionists, according to my informants, will burn and destroy Manzanillo, having mentioned especially the plant of the Standard Oil Company. It is generally believed that the garrison established here is not sufficient to give absolute guaranty and protection. Please see Wilkinson of the Standard Oil Company at Edificio Cidosa. Would suggest that this be brought to the attention of Foreign Office. Please wire action taken. Department has been informed.”
