NICARAGUA LEGATION CLOSED
Rumor that Rent is in Arrears and
Officials Without Pay.
zELAYA IS STRICT CENSOR
Dictator Keeps People I'm Ignorance
OF Progress of Events-Ma-
goon May he Special
Envoy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-The Nicaraguan
legation here Is no more. Big vans have
carried off the furniture and the other ap'
purtensnoes Of the house in o street. where
President Zelaya's representatives were
once domiciled. In addition II Is the gossip
IN Central American circles that the
Zelayan government has not sent the
monthly checks to it's legation. an over
sight that Is said to be sorely felt by the
legation force.
Senior Rodriguez, the special emlssary OF
Zelsya through whom Secretary Knox's
sharp note was conveyed to the Nicaraguan
government, is stm in Washington. II
was said by a former attache OF the
legation that the furniture had been stored
until the present situation cleared and
thai It was the property Of the government
IT was Indignantly denied that the legation
had been driven from its quarters because
Of the failure Of the Nicsraguan govern
ment to meet the monthly rent bills.
Word was received here tonight in Cen
trail American circles that the reports Of
a zelayan victory over the insurgent army
near Rama was without the slightest
foundation in fact. 1t was declared that
there had been no fighting in the last few
days.
1T is the lull before the Storm said a
Central American diplomat. I'm a few

be a decisive one, provided the Estrada

relations between the United states and

which Is surrounded on land and sea by the
insurgents. General Vasquez. commander
Of the government forces at the last battle
near Rama. was court-martiaied because
Of the defeat suffered by the government
troops.
The battle is said to have been a desper-
ate one. A government column which en-
tered the fight with $50 soldiers left all
but four Of them dead on the field.
One Of the arrivals here. who is not a
native Of Nicaragua, states that the gov
eminent officials at Nicaragua publicly
assert Mexico will support Nicaragua in
any controversy in which II may become
Involved with the United States.
No foreign newspapers are allowed TO
enter Nicaragua at points in control Of the
government. All passengers on landing
there are searched and not allowed to
bring in arms or anything which the Of
ficials believe may be used to help the
insurgent cause. The situation in the in
terror Is reported desperate for everyone,
including zelaye's soldiers.

Payne Tariff

Step Forward
Secretary MacVeagh Says it Marks
Beginning of New Repub-
lican Policy.

BOSTON, Dec, THAT the republican
party has changed front and is now march
ing toward lower tariffs, in which move
ment the Payne tariff bill is but an Incl
dent, was the interesting statement made
by Secretary Of the Treasury Franklin Mac
Veagh at the annua banquet of the Mass
achusetts Bankers association tonight.
Three hundred persons attended the ban
quet. Among the other speakers were
Genere E. Roberts, president of the Com
mercial National bank, Chicago, and Gov
ernor Eben s.. Draper.
Secretary MacVeagh declared thai unless
the bankers succeeded in adopting the pub
lie point of view instead Of the private
point Of vision, they would lose an oppor-
tunity to Influence greatly the coming leg
islation on the subject.
That vas all the secretary had to sa,
on currency, and he passed to a discus
sion of the tariff and the Payne law. He
said, in part:

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 9.-Rodolfo Ganoa,
famous Mexican %bullfightcr, known as Tho
Idol of the Bull Rng." is under arrest here
and In prison on SERIOUS charges In con-
nection with the suicide of Maria Tulsa
Noecker, a girl OF Is years and member of

after reaching there she committed suicide
by shooting herself. Police Investigation.
IL is alleged, has adduced evidence to the
effect that she had been in company Of
Gaona.
Specials received here from Guas.Caientes
say hat the Americans and Germans there
have sent a petition to President Diaz ask
ing him to take a personal interest in the
Gaona case. The girl who committed sui
eide was Of German parentage. Both Ro-
dolfo Gaona and his brother. Enrique, are
in prison tonight.

Judgment, to keep two important factors in
mind. The first is that the Payne law is
but an incident in a tariff revision move
ment, by and within the republican party,
sanctioned and undertaken by the party
itself and advocated by President Taft, in
office and out of office, and by President
Mckinley with almost his last words. The
second is that 1t is the resultant effect OF
the movement which it is important to
take into account ana estimate and not,
essentially, anything else.
There is one great fact that makes a
new tariff epoch. That fact is that the re-
publican party has changed its front. It
has recognized changed conditions.
1T is true that the Payne bill does not
contain as much downward revision as the
great majority of the republican party had
wished. 1t did not contain as rtuch Of that
revision as the president wished. But the
Payne bill. as it passed the house, was an
intentional and avowed revision downward.
AS II now stands It is a practical con-
firmation of the new policy Of the repub-
lican party"

Veteran Reduces Fifty-Mile Auto
Mark at Dallas, Tex,
DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 9.-With his face
wrapped in wooden bandages and wearing
heavy fur gloves and fui overcoat, Barney
oldfield drove his 12O-horsepower Benz
racer In the teeth Of a Texas norther this
afternoon and broke the fifty-mile worlds
circular track record, which has stood for
over five years. He covered the half-cen-
fury in 47:ls, as against the old mark Of
4S:4OB, made by himself in Fresno, Cal, in
1904.
Oldfield got inside the previous record at
thirty miles, and broke every Individual
mark from thirty miles to fifty, Oldfield's
drive was most spectacular as the track
was frozen in places and the radiator of
his car was filled with alcohol as the only
preventative against freezing. At the fin
ish Of the drive oldfield's hands had to
be pulled loose from the steering wheel
by his assistant, having been affected by
the intense cold at so high a speed.
h, r. Green, member OF the Automobile
Contest board, acted as referee, and as the
meeting was sanctioned, the record viii
