Interest In the military aspects Of
the Nicaraguan situation has been
dwarfed somewhat In official circles
as a result Of receipt by the Washing

draft of proposals by President Diaz
for q new treaty with the United

ton, have not yet been received sind
officials refuse to diyuige their gen
eral nature, 1t is understood To seek
treaty guarantees for the protection
OF Nicaragua from external attack or
internal disorders brought about by
outside Interference in her affairs.
State Department officials have also
declined to intimate what this Gov
ernment's attitude toward the pro-
posals might be or to say whether
they were formulated by Diax after
conferences with Minister Ebeihardt.
Canal Treaty Recalled.
It was recalled in some quarters,
however, that the treaty by which the
United States acquired the rights to
a canal route across Nicaragua also
permits the use of Nfcaraguan terri
tory to certain extent by this coun-
try for Panama Canal defense, and
that in view of this treaty the Diaz
suggestions might be for negotiating
q treaty similar to the new American
Panama pact. The latter calls for
cooperative defense Of the Panama
Canal and. It is. presumed, permits
American assistance in preventing in

While thousands of persons sor-

scared away today for New York
with mystery passenger aboard.
The plane was Capt. Frank T.

at 1886 a. m, E. S. T., today, en-

There he will refuel for a flight

would proceed to New York. A

ney's was sighted today 125 miles
off the English coast and going
strong.
Departure Sudden
Courtney's departure today was
sudden. 1t came after weeks of
delay caused by unfavorable
weather and tie need for minor
repairs to the ship.
A number of attempts had been
made previous to today to take of
but all were unsuccessful, as the
Whale had refused to leave the
water
The British airman had an
nounced last night that the start
would not be made today, but ap-

mind.
In addition to Courtney and r.

comprised his crew, the flying
Whale carried an unidentified mill
lionaire, believed to have been E.

Given Up as Dead
Princess Anne, F. F. Minchin and
Leslie Hamilton, who disappeared in
the st. Raphael en- route from
Upavon, England, to Ottawa, Can
ada, have been given up for dead.
The scant chance that they may
have been picked up by vessel
without wireless or that landing
may have been made in some isolat-
ed area was too slight to arouse
much hope.
Americas round -the-world fiiers
penetrated Asia today, en- route
from Bagdad to Bendar Abbas,
