WASHINGTON, March 16.-Baron Fava,
the Italian minister, in pursuance of or
ders from Italy, formally brought to
the attention of the president the
slaughter of the Sicilian prisoners in
the parish Jail at New Orleans. AS a
result Secretary Blaine sent the follow
ing dispatch to Gov. Nichols:
His Excellency, Francis T. Nichols, Gov
ernor of Louisiana, New Orleans:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE. March l5.-It has
been represented to the president by the
minister of Italy, accredited to this govern
ment. that among the victims of the deplor-
able massacre which took place in the city
OF New Orleans yesterday were three or
more subjects of the king of Italy. Our
treaty with that friendly government (wh CHI
under the constitution is the supreme law of
the land) guarantees to the italian subjects
domicled in the United States 1.-The most
constant protection and security for their
persons and property" making them amen
able, on the same basis as our own citizens,
to the laws of the United States and of the
several states, in their due and orderly ad-
ministration.
zens of New Orleans should have so dispar-
aged the adequacy of the r own judicial trib-
unals as to transfer TO the passionate judy
ment of a mob question that should have
been adtudged dispassion ately and by settled
rules OF law. The government Of the United
States must give to the subjects of friendly
powers that security which it demands for
our own citizens when temporarily under a
foreign jurisdiction.
It Is the hope of the president that you Will
CO. operate with him in maintaining the OBJ
legations of the Unit I'D States toward Italian
subjects who may be within the periis of the
present excitement; that further blOodshed
and violence may lie prevented, and that all
offenders against the law may be promptly
brought to justice. JAMES G. BLAINE.
ANGRY ITALIANS
CHICAGO, March 16.-A large repre-
sentative meeting of Italians was held
here to take action in regard to the oc-
currence at New Orleans DIR. Volinia
presided and on opening the meeting de-
livered an imprisoned address. Among
other things he said: ''Our cOuntrymen
have been vilely slain by a mob of as
sassins. shot down and murdered by a
lawless and barbarous mob in the
city of New Orleans. Their blood cries
out for satisfaction and for redress.
We demand of the government of the
United States prompt, full and explicit
PREPARATION. We demand reparation in
the name of justice, of humanity, OF
civilization. If justice be not rendered
full and prompt our native land will
speak even with the voice of her guns. "
This sentiment was received with pro-
longed cheers and demonstrations of
approval
Stefana Malata, editor of L'America,
was the next speaker He announced
that he was a Sicilian like the men
lynched in New Orleans. He began
| with studied calmness, but gradually
warmed himself and audience to high
pitch of excitement. My countrymen, -
ne exclaimed, massacred! Our country
men have been massacred. The out
rage has no comparison in any civilized
! nation"
The speaker disavowed sympathy
with the vendetta, but insisted on right

Dr. VoliLia suggested a modification
of a proposition to demand of the
Italian government immediate cOgni-
zance of the outrage, and proposed tina

committee appointed.
