 States Government. The removal of the marines From the Buffalo was made necessary for reasons of health and sanitation.
 The report from Managua that Ma driz had ordered the arrest of a son. in-law of zSlaya and his former Min ister of Finance, is regarded here as intended to deceive the people as to his real relations toward Zelaya.
 It seems to bet he general opinion that Madriz's term of office will expire with the arrival of Estrada's army at the national capital.
 Thanka Red Cross Society.
 Washington, Dec. 27.--A telegram from the revolutionary party of Nica- ragua was received today by the Amer ican Red Cross Society. thanking the secretary for its work in relieving the distress of the soldiers of the Govern ment army captured near Rama and ouartered in Bluefields. The telegram which was signed by General Estrada said in part:
 Tt is with profound appreciation that we Nicaraguans view the charity and kindness which characterizes your work for humanity. The message which brought the shocking news of the distressing condition in which our captives arrived in Bluefeids could have just reached your eye when your directors had given instructions through your state department for the issuance of supplies for the subsistence of the Zelayan sick and weary, now by the fortunes of war under our care. The resources of the revolution are sufri- cient only to provide for its troops and the many hundred forced upon us by the surrender of Zelaya's entire army at Recreo would have placed us in pitifuI condition had 1t not been for your noble actions.
 "Nicaraguans are appreciative and will not forget your prompt relief and the fervent prayers of Its people in thanks for your bounty were offered on Christmas Day in our churches. Rep resenting the revolution and personally, I communicate eternal gratitude"
