as nails and wearing khaki hunting suits,

ashore from the steamer that had brought
him down the Nile. 1t was thought that
the colonel wore a rather bored express
sion as he regarded the group OF British
officers that had gathered to greet him.
Their black soldiers, who formed a guard.
presented arms as the former President
stepped on land.
The scene was, perhaps. an unpleas-
antly abrupt reminder Of the abandon
ment of primitive camp life for the for
malities and conventions Of the modern
world.

Paris, March 4-Former President Ze-

day in his luxurious apartments at the
Hotel CrilIon. He said that he was
merely resting now after his arduous
work at Madrid. where he was secluded
nineteen days while engaged in writing
his memoirs.
These papers. he insists. will show that
Estrada and the United States geyern-
ment were responsible for the revolu-
ton. The former, in order to acquire
control Of the politics OF the republic.
sought to establish protectorate over
Central America. That was his real OBJ
ject. according TO Zelaya. He said:
"I consider that obtained victory over
the United States. because. while for
patriotic reasons I resigned my Office,
left the government in the hands Of the
Liberals, Of which I am the leader. The
feeling Of the Nicaraguans is strongly
against the United states. The Ameri-
cans treat the natives badly. They hate
colored people. Guatemala is now the
only country in Central America that IS
friendly to the great republic Of the
north"
