ZeIaya Receives Warning.

Mexico City, January Close Santos Ze- laya was today warned by officials here that the police authorities are in receipt of secret information that two Salvado- reans and an American are in Mexico City and are only awaiting a favorable opportunity to take his life.
 Officials of the police department have advised Zelaya to arm himself and pre- pare for any emergency that may arise in which his life might be placed in Jeopardy. They have also detailed two of the best men in the secret service to accompany him whenever he leaves his rooms and to keep a close watch over everyone entering his hotel.
 It is known that Zelaya has exhibited some little nervousness since coming to Mexico City and that he Is never with out a pistol It Is reported that he car ries a small derringer in one of the side pockets of his coat.
 During the IS years that Zelaya ruled over Nicaragua many people were exiled from that country and hence he has many bitter enemies, some of whom are gloat- ing over his recent msfortunes.
 Zelaya and his friends know that he is heartily hated by those who left Nicara- qua when he was in power, and that they are alert every minute in the day to observe any untoward action that may be taken by anyone.
 Friends of Zelaya said that the titular president of Nicaragua had decided to buy a hacienda in Mexico and live out in the rural districts. If this is true he IS

MILITARY MEN ARE
 MUCH INTERESTED
REFUSAL OF STATE AUTHORITIES TO ALLOW HOTEL BILLS IN CURED IN MOBILE CAUSES COMMENT HERE.

Among local military men, the fact that the state has declined to pay a bill of $40 alleged to be due Mobile hotels for accommodations extended members of the artillery, there is a great deal of interest.
 Maj. J. Q. Smith has declared that the bill is result of the fact that no tents were furnished the men under him.
 Privates aver, however, that the bill was incurred by the officers. c. venable, a member of Battery D. stated last night that on account of very poor accommo- dations, he, along with several other that he and the others paid their bills.
 When we reached Mobile" stated he, fit was raining hard. We pitched the dog tents. and rolling in blanket, at she was obdurate, and wouldn't be wooed So on the following night several of us went to the hotels. But we paid our bills"
 It is expected that an explanation in full will be forthcoming from Major Smith. In the meantime his brother off cers are smiling over the situation. Just who will pay the bill in case the state of speculation. Will the hotel ever get the money? is a question which was heard last night.

RUSSIA SLOW TO ACT.
Manchuran Railroad Question Is Full
 of Problems.

St. Petersburg, January 6.-The for eign office has taken no action on the memorandum presented by the United States government relative to the neu- tralization of the Manchurian railroads, which has been submitted for a care ful examination cojointly by the min isters of finance and war. The ulti- mate attitude of Russia will depend largely upon the reception of the pro posals by the other powers, and the developments in this matter will neces- sarily consume great deal of time.
 The leading official of the foreign office today stated that the proposals were not regarded as unfriendly or unwelcome and would be approached from the standpoint of practical possi- bilities.
 As Russia's policy in the far east is defensive and not aggressive, certain features outlined in the memorandum are decidedly advantageous, but the success or failure of the proposals will be determined largely by the attitude of Japan in reply to similar proposals from China, Russia has stip. ulated that the transfer should occur after the completion of the Amur rail. road, but in the present case the neu- tralization feature disposes of the necessity of such stipulation.

TRYING TO DRAFT BILL.
Interstate Commerce Law Will Be
 Strengthened.

Washington, January 6.-That the administration will have bill embody- ing it's views regarding amendments to strengthen the interstate commerce law is the expression of those who have been instrumental in framing the measure.
 Conferences are still being held by the special committee appointed by President Taft and drafts and re- drafts of unsettled features are be- ing made constantly.
 That the railroad interests will ob- ject to the measure is expected, but they are being given every opportuni. ty to present their side of the case
 Today Attorney General Wicker sham had a call from counsel repre- senting prominent railroads who ex- pressed the wish that any legislation giving shippers choice of routes over which their consignments are carried shall not apply where electric pas. senger carrying roads are included. It is understood that assurance was given by the Attorney General that it would not apply in such case.
 The proposed amendments, 1t is said. are not to affect express com panies

Mexico City, January e-President Dias today sent a congratulatory telegram to President Madriz of Nicaragua It was in reply to one received from Madriz stating that he was now the head of the government formerly presided over by Zelaya.
 The report that these communications had just passed between the two execu- tives was confirmed at the foreign office late this afternoon.
 Francisco Castro, Nicaraguan minister to Mexico, has asked his government for a leave of absence and it is believed that 1t is equivalent to a resignation.
 Minister Castro hopes to leave soon for his home in Nicaragua and 1t is thought here that he will not return. He is a close friend of Zelaya and has been much in the company of the former president since he arrived in this capital.
