OFF TO BLUEFIELDS.
Cruiser Detroit on the Way to interview
General Torres.

Washington, April 8.-The cruiser De-
troit got away yesterday from La Guy
ara for Port Limon, Costa Rica, where
she will receive instructions from the
navy department as to her further
course. The Detroit is due at Port
Limon Tuesday morning, and unless
thern is decided change for the bet
ter in the situation in Nicaragua, she
will push on to Bluefields.
Our government is determined not to
tolerate the extortion practiced by
Torres upon American merchants. A
disquieting feature of the situation is
the semi-indorsement by President Ze-
laya Of Torres contention that he has
a right to collect duties which have al
ready been paid by the americans to
the de facto government of Bluefields
under Gen. Reyes, leader of the late
Instruction.
The Nicaraguan government conten-
ton is that the foreign residents of
Bluefields, having been warned by the
government not to pay customs dues
to the insurgents cannot now claim
exemption from a recollection by the
government of duties so paid. The
state department, however, has salts
fed itself that the tAsurgent govern
ment at Bluefields under Gen. Reyes,
was a de facto government in the full
sense of the term and also that the
merchants paid the duties under abso-
lutte compulsion. Therefore, it is de-
termined not to tolerate a recollection
of those duties on the part of the Mic
araguan government.

italian Counterfeiter
Attempts Suicide
in Courtroom.
ROW WITH DEPUTY.
Three Other Italians Are
Arrested on Charge
Of Perjury.

Boston, April S.-There was a pro-
found sensation in the United States
district court today. Judge Lowell
sentenced francesca Carol and Anton
10 Mazzuci, two of the gang of italian
counterfeiters, who have been on tri-
al since yesterday morning, to five
years at hard labor in state prison
and to pay a fine Of one dollar.
Immediately after sentence was pro-
nounced, Cacci, who was standing in
the prisoners dock, began to act in
peculiar manner, and it was soon evil
dent he was attempting suicide.
Tearing his handkerchief into strips
he wound it around his neck in a vain
endeavor to strangle himself. Failing
in this he threw his arms wildly about
and acted as though it was his purpose
to impale himself on the sharp plckets
at the top of the dock. These being
out of his reach, his next attempt was
to unloosen his shoe, presumably 10
be used as a weapon against himself.
His performance up to this time had
taken but a fraction of minute and
before he had time to create further
excitement in the court room which
was now filled with people, Deputy
Marshall James H. Waters, who
was standing lllluleuldlGly a.
the side of the dock, jumped in
and commenced a rough and tumble
encounter with the prisoner At the
outset it was apparent that the on
Ger would need help in quoting his
charge, whom he soon succeeded IN
choking into submission.
In connection with the case the de-
tense in support of a motion for a new
trial for the prisoners brought wit
nesses who testified that government
witness Eduardo Leonard had coun-
terfeit bills in his possession before he
purchased the five dollar notes from
the prisoners. AS soon as the last
witness had finished testifying the
trio was arrested by an officer on the
complaint of Secret Service Agent
Redfern. They are Antonio LaVrlno,
Antonio Laspara and Rosi Ramera, the
latter being woman. They We're I'M
mediately taken to the office OF Unit
ed States Commissioner Flske and ar
raigned under charge of perjury:
Their case has been continued until
Thursday, April 49, and being unable
to obtain $500 bail, in which they were
held. they were committed to jail.
The two men were relieved Of ugly
looking knives by the officers.

Whether Elijah B. Stoddards house
on Assonet street was built upon the
sand or whether it was divided against
itself is not known. All the people in
the vicinity of Assonet street know
about the matter is that the building

afternoon.
The fall proved to be a bonanza to

to many not in the neighborhood for

afternoon and at o'clock nothing
burnable was left about the place. Some
