Reports That ZeIaya's Civilian
Friends Have Been Armed
With Daggers.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE naval
transport Buffalo now at Panama
with seven hundred marines aboard
was today orderd to proceed imme
diately to Corrto.
This was the result of telegram
from the American consulate at Mana
qua. stating that as Zelaya, in his
message OF resigning the presidency.
mGde unpleasant reference to Amer
icaGs. and owing to the report current
in Aanagua that the civilian adherents
OF Zelaya have been armed with dag
gers, the citizens Of the United States
residing there had appealed to the
consulate for protection Another
telegram from the consulate at Mana.
Ssua states chat it is currently ru-
tInored there that when Madriz ar
riTes at Managua, presumably tomor-
row, /elaya will formally surrender
lis office to the national assembly
and that that body is already in
structed by Zelaya to vote for Irias as
president Of Nicaragua
This runner Is directly at variance
with the understanding here based on
dispatches from Nicaragua officially
or otherwise to the effect that Madriz
will receive the support of Zelaya and
his faction.
The conclusion Of the United States
officers at Managra is that by the se-
lection OF Irias, Zelaya will still re-
tain lis hold on bower and continue
to dominate the situation.
This change of front occasions little
surprise here. Il being wen known that
both Arias and Madr.z have long been
regarded as Zelayas first choice for
the presidency and Madria second.
The bury orders to the Buffalo may
have some other signtaca1cc than t7a 7at
stated. as her arrival at Coriato is
expected the very day that Nalriz is
expected to arrive at Managua.
Whether seven h'ndred marines
will be placed at the disposal of the
consulate at Managua does not ap-
pear, but il is assumed that the com
mander win take any steps necessary
under general instructions to protect
the American citizens and American
interests.

RETURNED TO WAUSAU.

After many years, Thomas j. Keilty
and family have returned to Wausau
to make their home. Mr.. Kelly
came to this city in 1869, when a
young man. In 1882 he was married
here to Miss Emilia Kreuger, and,
strange as it may seem, the event
took place in the residence they hay e
leased and are occupying at 407 WASH
ington street. In 1885 they went 10
Hurley and that city has been their
home until they moved back here
last week. Their son james and
daughter Miss Alice have been here
for some time, and it was more for
the purpose of being near them and
other relatives, that induced Mr..
Kielty TO come back here and of
course, the fact that they have al
ways thought much of Wausau and
its people. The Pilot joins with
their hosts of friends, in welcoming
them back TO their old home
