BONILLA COMING
FOR SQUARE DEAL
FROM PRESIDENT
Belief That DepOSed
Head of Honduras Is
Speeding to Wash
lngtOn.

That Manuel BOnilla, the depOsed and
defeated President Of Honduras, who IS
now speeding northward 10 Mexico
from Amapala on an American man-of-
war, is IN reality bound for Washing
ton, is a TUmor that has found cIrcu-
lation in diplomatic circles here, and
1t would not be surprising to those
who have followed the trend OF the
Central American war If the deposed
ruler should shortly appear at the front
door Of the White House. knocking for
entrance to demand square deal"
Whether this rumor IS well founded
cannot be said. While State Depart
ment officials disclaim any authOrita-
tive information TO this effect, certain
it is that advices concerning Bonilla' 5
movements have reached diplomatic Of
Ieials here from Central American
sources, which have not been made
public.
