Alarming News From NcaP- agua Reaches Washington zELAYxs UNEXPECTED BLOW
Aimed at the Heart of the Revolution-Scurrying of Warships Toward Danger Point for Protection of American Interests

Washington. Dec 11.-Disquietins news was received from Nicaragua al the state department today that there is an attack by President Zelaya's forces being made on Bluefields, where there are l56 Americans, resulting in orders being sent by wireless teie- graph to the cruiser Tacoma to proceed under full steam to Bluefields, there to join the cruiser DesMoines and await further orders. The Prairie. now al Philadelphia. has been ordered to take on board zoo marines under the con- mand of Captain Riddle and steam as soon as possible to Colon.
 The importance of these orders is minimized at the state department where it is said that the Tacoma has been instructed to look out for Ameri- can interests in Bluefields. While the destination of the Prairie is given as Colon. it is equipped with wireless ap- paratus and the vessels destination could be changed at any moment.
 The news that Zelaya probably would avoid an engagement at Rama, and making a detour, strike at Bluefields, the headquarters of the revolutionary army and the provisional government, was received here with some apprehen- sion, and almost immediately a confer ence was held at the office of the sec retary of the navy, at which were present Secretary Myer, Assistant Sec retary Winthrop. Rear Admiral Vain wright and Assistant Secretary of State Wilson prompt decision was reached to hurry additional fighting material to the danger point at Blue fields.
 Thus far there has been been no in timation that a landing is in immedi- ate contemplation. It Is a fair assump- ton, however that should American lives be put in jeopardy. or American business interferred with. prompt and decisive action will be taken.
 Navy officials today, while admitting that the marines which are expected to land from the Dixie at Colon to- day. would be hurried across the Isth- mus of Panama, and put on board the Buffalo it was stated that the vessel had received no orders to sail to Co., rinto However. it is given out that the taking aboard of 725 marines al- most certainly means an immediate sailing. as otherwise the marines would have been kept on shore until needed.
 Questioned today as to the truth of several statements made by President Zelaya today in an interview. govern ment officials said the interview was full of errors. Two conspicuous exam pies were pointed out. One was that ZelaYa disclaimed that the execution of Cannon and Groce was by his order. of which the state department has ab solute proof to the contrary. Another supposed false statement was that Ze laya had sent a communication to the United States expressing. his willing ness to allow the United States to name a commission to investigate all matters in connection with the recent disturbances to which this government took exception, and he would abide by the results of their investigations. No such communication, it was said, has been received.

 FOR NA|R0B| American Reception of Roosevelt Hunting Stories THINGS THAT DID HAPPEN

Nairobi, British East Africa, Dec. II. Colonel Roosevelt and his party re- turned here today from his latest hunt ing trip. He is in perfect health He will remain here for several days. dur ing which he will be elaborateiy en- tertained.
 The reading public here has found vast amusement in press clippings from Arne'ica dealing with the game killing eJiences O.

They receive with skep- ticism the fact, for example. that Col Roosevelt had been charged by twelve hippotamus on Lake Naivaha, killing a few and escaping scotfree, yet they take readily the stories of bagging strange birds and mammals, which had hitherto triumphantly dodged geological classification.
 Without detracting from the glory of the hunter. East African residents do not look with great deal of inter est upon the mere slaying of lions and such small fry. They do not even use this sort of thing as topic of conver sation while the weather shows inter esting phases. Nairobi has been scarcely stirred the last week or so by the news that men walking to their homes after dining out. have almost stumbled over d full grown lion, which has been so frequently seen about the streetssthat it has practically assumed the position of an old resident.

and the like, calculated to inflict mor- tai damage upon some of them.
 President Taft's projected visit to Alaska formed subject of humorous comment. and great. solicitude was shown for his comfort, and to make sure that his dietary would conform to his simple tastes the proprietor of the hotel where he is to stop was called upon to state the viands to be pro- vided The list of dishes and methods of preparation afforded opportunity for many good natured jokes at. the ex- pense of the prominent guests. One man who wanted poached eggs on toast heard his order translated into "One Cook and Peary on a raft" Cap tain Archie Butt, who ordered hash was astounded to hear the chef ac- knowledge it as "One order of Roose- velt's policies" Attorne General Wickersham's demand for deviled lob sters with the claws removed got to the kitchen as "one busted trust" and "One Uncle Joe" was the response to the suggestion that the president would like some "possum" What the general opinion was of the president himself was musically set out by the Gridiron quartette in a song. a verse of which ran: (the tune being q love my wife. but oh. you kid.') Now Roosevelt once was president,
 oh. yes. he was:
 But Mir. Taft now runs the job,
 Oh. yes. he does;
 Roosevelt now has gone a hunting.

 This musical refrain:
 Chorus We love. we love. we love Roosevelt,
 But. oh. you Taft;
 He's gone away to Af-ri-ca.
 But. oh. you Taft.
 He said he would come back again,
 And thereupon we laughed. We love, we love, we love our Roose-

 But. oh you Taft"
 Then the correspondents voiced their grouch against news conditions under the present administration as com pared with that preceding. Messages
