There is Feeling Favorable
to Annexation
TO THE UNITED STATES
This Would Settle All the Trouble
About the Canal-ViewS of Chicago
Engineer Who Has Just Returned
From That Country.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Discussing the pend
ing Nicaragua canal treaty, L. c.. Cooley,
the well nown engineer, said today that
perhaps the easiest way out of the confu-
sion would be for the United States to
annex Nicaragua. Not long ago Mr..
Cooley visited Nicaragua as a member Of
q contracting syndicate to investigate the
feasibility of the Nicaragua canal route.
During his stay he talked with all the
high officials of the Nicaraguan govern
lnent. Abiding to his observations in
Nicaragua, he said:
1.-The impression acquired while in Mic
aragua was that the people Of all classes,
including the highest officials. were ready
and anxious for annexation to the United
States. 1t might be asked If such Is the
condition of public sentiment in Mic
aragua, why it is that the country does
not propose annexation to the United
States. I asked this question Of a high
oflcial of the N~icaraguan government
and was answered that there were SO
many rivalries and conflicting political
interests that il the adherent of any ono
faction proposed annexation all the other
elements would Immediately pounce on
him n try to, rake it appear that he
was trying to sell the country out. Any
proposal by an official Of the N~icaraguan
to the United States would probably be
utilized to begin a revolution.
"A high official of the Nicaraguan gov
asked me what the government
of the United States Would expect in the
way Of a right of way. I told him that
we would expect 20 have a right Of way
under United States control. He remark-
ed that he believed a proposition to an
mex the entire country Of Nicaragua
would not be unpopular and that 1t would

reaching. But on the other hand ohe
would remain on her fathers property
and that, she told herself, was worth q
great deal ito her In her present frame Of
mind.
