New York Times 100 years ago today, December 23, 1912:
Pneumonia Kills Him Here En Route from Paris to Panama.
    Gen. Domingo Diaz, long associated as soldier and diplomat with the fortunes of Panama, died on Thursday at the Hotel Endicott, Columbus Avenue and Eighty-first Street, where he was stopping with his party on his way from Paris to Panama. Death was caused by pneumonia. Gen. Diaz was 71 years old.
    With him at the time of his death were his wife and his daughter and her husband, Gen. and Mrs. Juan Jiminiz, and they will go on to Panama on Friday with the body.
    Domingo Diaz played a long and important part in the shifting history of Central American politics. When Panama was still a part of Colombia he was the head of a liberal faction, and at one time led an armed revolution. His surrender to the Government forces under Gen. Alban came in December, 1901.
    He had a hand in the creation of the independent republic, and subsequently served that Government as its representative in France, Italy, and Belgium. For the last two years he had lived in Paris, although he made a trip to Panama a year ago.
