In addition It la the gossip In Central Arm rlctn circle that the ?lnyan Forernment has, not aent the monthly checks to Ita legation, an over night that Is aald to be aorely felt by the legation force. Senor Rodrlgues, the special emlxeary oJ Zelaya through whom Secretary Knox's harp note was conveyed to the Nleiiragimn government, ia still In Washington. It was eald by a former attache of the Iteration that the furniture' had been stored until the present situation olearcd and that !t was the property of the government It ai Indignantly denied that the legation had been driven from Its iniarters hera'ise of the failure of the Nlcaraguan govern ment to meet the monthly reii bills. Word was received here tonight In Cen tral American circles that the reports if Zelayan victory over the Insurgent army near Rama was .without the slightest foundation In fact. It wivs declared that there had been no fighting In the last few day. "It Is the lull before the storm," said a Central American diplomat. "In a , fev days wc will hear of a battle and It will be a decisive one, provided tho Estrada forces are victorious. If they nrt not they will fall back to fight again." PANAMA, Dec. &-Pnasengers arrlvLng liere from Nicaragua state that the people In that republic are kept In Ignorance of what is happening in . the country.

General Vaques, commander of the government forces at the last battle near llama, was court-martialed 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 ISO soldiers left all but four of them dead on the field. One of he arrivals here, who is not a native of Nicaragua, states that the gov ernment officials at Nicaragua publicly assert Mexico will support TS'lcaragua In any controversy In which It may become lavolved 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 terior is reported desperate for everyone, including Zelaya's soldiers. Misoon Mar Be Envoy. - NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 9.

Foot bill lettters were awarded to only fourteen plnyers for services this fall by the Ne braska athletic board at a special meelng this afternoon. This Is the smallest num ber of "N's" that has been given out In several seasons. Tho players who were honored are Cap tain Beltier. Harry Ewlng, Lruls Hart.', V. Shonka, LeRoy Temple, Johnny Jojin son, II. Magor, Tard Wolcott, Tolt nitit ley. Alfonso Sturteznegcer. Harvey Raih bone, Vincent Hascall, Turf Frank and F. C. Chauner. Three games Minnesota, Kansas and Iowa were selected as the "N" Contests and all the players who participated In these games were eligible for letters. Sturtexnegger was not eligible under the ruling that only the men who partlc patod In the three big frames should te awarded the coveted numeral, but he was voted the letter becaure of his faithful service to the team during the last three years. He is a senior this year and would not have another chance to get a letter. A new system of awarding the letters was adopted by the board at this meeting and it will be put into operation next fall. Under this new plan a player will have to participate In at least thisu games played with Chicago or Missouri Vall?y confer ence elevens or will have to be recom mended for his "N" by the captain, coach and manger of the eleven In crdor- to got a letter. The system r.ow In force simply requires that am an play but one full half of one of the big games of the fall. Powe-r to Deny Letters. One section of the new rules for grant ing the letters gives the athletic boarj power to deny, by a vote of nine members, any man a letter. The board reserved tO ItBAlf thl. '..; ,..,,0 imnvi leyuiremems rcr a letter and yet do something that would warrant the board In refusing to give him the honor of wearing u letter. In case a player Is Injursd so that he cannot take part In three games of the rail, although he would have done 10 had he been In condition, the manger, captain and coach have the rign; to recommend him for a letter. In making this rule the board had in mind the case of C. Jnhn.t of Minnesota, who was iniured in th t -.t big game of the season this fall, that bd Ing the game with Nebraska, and wa ni able to get into a game during the rest of the season. Such a man as he, the board declared, should haw' his letter; at Minnesota Johnston was given his numeral. "W" Men Klect Captain. At this session the athletic hmrrf nrAe. that the "N" men should elect a foot ball nnnt.ln a ........... .ui iiexi season s team at a meet ing of the board to be held next Monday evening. All the players will be com manded to come before the board at that time and ballot for a cantaln until- i. selected. The members of the At,in board have decided that the captain shall ba elected next Monday evening, even If the selection . haa to be done by the board itself. According to the Coristltutlorl of the board the1 letter players are allowed to bal lot twice for a captain,, and then if they fall to make a choice, the athletic board selects a leader. Unless the players can, agree on a captain in two ballots the board will pick the leader. Three candidates have announced them selves as Beel Ing the position. They are Ltroy Templo of TLexington, Harvy Rath bone of Lincoln and V. Shonka of Able. Temple is the only one of the this trio who has ben on the 'varsity for two years. He and Rathbonc are fraternity men and Khanka is a "barb." Of the fourten players who were awarded letters today eleven are fraternity mon. It they should unite on one candidate they could easily elect him and there would be no contest. The candidacy of Raihbono and Temple, though, will dlvido the fra ternity vote and there probably will be no election on the ' first ballot next Mon day. It Is now believed that the election will no', develop Into a "frat"-"barb" fight, for Khonka, the non-fraternity man, lias de clared that he will no", make the race on that issue. If he is not selected on the first ballot he c'eclares he will withdraw. There Is 'no bitter feeling in the campaign this winter as there was a year ago, and tho candidates are not making a deal of noise. They are, though, going about the matter In gumshoe fashion and there will be nochance for any bad accusations. No matter who is picked for next fall's leader there Is certain to be a spirit of good feel ing existing among all the players on the team. world. The rrmtrh will be played In Bor mn lieeemher 21-M Inclusive. Three blork of Xf hells eerh will be plaved. Allen, wl.

Oldfleld got Inside the previous record at thirty miles, and broke every Individual mark from thirty miles to fifty.

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 Inci dent, was the Interesting statement made by Secretary of the Treasury Franklin Mac Vcagh at the annual banquet of the Mass achusetts Bunkers' 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 that unless the bankers succeeded In adopting the pub lic 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 was all the secretary had to tn;. on- currency, and he passed to a discus sion of the tariff and the Payne law. He said, in part: "In considering the results of recent tariff legislation, it Is indespensible, in my 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 McKiniey with almost his last words. The second Is that It Is the resultant effect of the movement which It Is Important to take into account and estimate, and not, essentially, anything else. 'There In 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. "It Is true that the Payne bill does not contain as much downward revision as the great majority of the republican parly had wished. It did not contain as ryich of that revision as the president wished. But the Payne bill, as It passed the house, was an Intentional and avowed revision downward. As It now stands It Is a practical con firmation of the new policy of the repub lican party."
