FRIGHTENED WITNESSES
Results in Five Of Alleged Italian Counter
ieiters Going Free.

Boston, April 5.-The Italian coun-
terfeiters cases before Judge Lowell in
the United States district court took
a decidedly sensational turn, this af-
ternoon. at the opening Of the court.
Assistant United States District At
torney Casey addressed the court, and
said in the case of Mastropovola ana
the other four indicted with him on the
charge Of conspiracy, he would ask
that the case be mol pressed. The law
yer for the defence assented. judge
Lowell acquiesced in the request and
the Indictment against Mastroprovola.
Mazucci. Desalvo. Catugnio and Cacci
was dismissed.
The cause Of the sudden abandon
ment Of the cases by the government is
government witnesses. Eduardo Leon
ardi and Louis Musca. When Musca
took the stand. this morning. il was
evident that he was nervous. He made
some bad breaks in his testimony.
The escape Of De Marco frightened
the informers. During the trial sever
al suspicious looking Italians have
been hanging around the corridors Of
the Federal building and it is main
tanned that threats against the lives of
Leonardo and Musca have been made.
Judge Lowell ordered the De Marco
case resumed, tomorrow. whether De
Marco is present or not.

view Of troops was held, yesterday. by
President DiaZ on the plains Of San

The President. i'll full uniform of a

tary attache at the American embassy.
Ten thousand troops or the entire gar
sembled and presented most credit
able appearance being in new uniforms
and the infantry carrying their new
Mauzers. The artillery evolutions were
tai form.
Foreign military men present were
disposed to accord high praise to the
troops. Many prominent Americans,
among them tourists. were present.
The weather was superb and the scene
near the shores Of Lake TeXoco where
Cortez landed his brigantines for attack
on the City of Mexico nearly four cen
turies ago was historically interesting.
President DiaZ was in robust health
and won nlaudits for his soldierly
bearing. Minister of War RobbeZ
Abel. veteran Of several wars. re-
ceived many compliments for his eff
cient work in reorganizing the army.

ExT0RJI0N IN NICARAGUA.
Americans Complain that They Arc Robbed and
Ask for Protection.

Washington, April Representative
Myer of Louisiana. today, accompain-
led to the state department a delega-
ton Of citizens Of New Orleans who
seek the Intervention of the United
States government to protect American
business on the Mosquito coast Of
Nicaragua. They told Secretary Hay
of some of the embarraSsments they
were under in conducting business in
Niscaragua. owing principally to what
they termed THE arbitrary and extor-
tionate actions from the Nicaraguan
officials
They complained against Gen. Tor
res. 1t was asserted that Torres had
been removed as governor of the Mos
quito country, in 1894, upon the de-
mand of the American government ow-
ing to his failure to punish the muir
derer Aguello and it was maintained
that his reinstatement now amounts
to a breach of the agreement on the
part of Nicaragua. The delegation al
so told of the oppressive actions Of
Torres in demanding double payment
of duties on imports and referred to
other arbitrary acts on the part of the
government.
one of the purposes OF their Visit
was to secure the detail of u United
States warship for duty in the vicinity
of Bluetields, but the navy department
anticipated their request in that mat
ter. Secretary Hay will communicate
with United States Minister Hunter re-
specting the matter.

SPECIFICATIONS CHANGED.
London Still Excited Over Contract for A,bara
Bridge Coming TO Us.

London, April 5.-The fact that the
contract TO build the bridge aver the
Atbara river. a branch of the Nile, has
been awarded to a Philadelphia firm,
continues to cause a great impression
here and the Evening News. this after
noon. refers to the matter as "Egyp-
tian War of Scandal" characteriZes
the whole transaction as a "Scandalous
story" and declares the specifications
We're altered in favor of the American
contractors. adding:
1T is only explicable if one remem-
hers the habitual anmosity shown by
the Khedive and his government to
their habitual protectors. If the bit
ter antipathy to their engineers revived
in the proceedings cannot be traced to
the khedive and the result of foolish
prejudice and unpatriotic prejudices
