WASHINGTON, Dec. at is de-
clared that President Zelaya of Mic
aragua has dispatched agents to.
Washington despite the letter of
Secretary Knox, which is viewed
virtually as an ultimatum. 1t is
believed that he hopes to have the
ultimatum set aside by appeals to
the state department and members
of congress.
The identity of the agents is not
known, but the state department
said that while they would be
watched in a general way, there
was no occasion for espionage.
1t is reported that the United
States government is prepared Wig
orously to resist any effort of Ze-
laya to escape from Nicaragua, as
KnoX's note intimates that the state
department looks upon him as per-
sonally responsible for the torture
and death of Groce and Cannon.

declared by the diplomatic corps to

WASHINGTON, Dec. despite
the agitation to close some of the
navy yards along the southern
coast, Secretary of the Navy Meyer
will oppose any such step for the

in his annual report submitted to

Secretary Meyer says that he is
not entirely convinced that the gov

up sites, where large expenditures
have been made, until after the
opening of the Panama canal, when
it definitely can be demonstrated
which are likely to be of the great

Two more battleships of the all
