In the meantime the company's en-

The deputy sheriffs were soon IN
readiness TO receive the attack. The
men were divided into two parties.
Capt. Lauer having charge OF the
party which was placed behind the big
gates OF the barn of the stable IN

u Causes Considerable Excitement az
Washington.

The recall by the Italian government
OF Baron Fava, Italian minister To
Washington, still continues 20 be the
ail-absorbing topicin diplomatic and
official circles.
Dispatches from Rome give assur-
ance that the action OF the Italian
government in withdrawing its minister
from this country will lead TO nothing
more serious than IA diplomatic contro-
versey. Yesterdays reports that
American citizens travelling in Italy
were being held as hostages is denied.
The basis OF the recall is that the
United States government has got
given assurances that the murderers of
the Italian subjects acquitted by the
American magistrates aud murdered
in prison, while under immediate pro-
lection OF the authorities OF New Or
leans. would be brought TO justice. The
baron will soon leave the United States,

This action by the Italian govern

official circles here when the fact be g.
came known. IL had generally been
supposed that the Italian government
would ut least await the action of the
New Orleans grand jury which is
charged with an investigation
of the bloody episode at the
New Orleans Jail. IL ap-
pears, however. that the information
received from it's representatives must
have led that government TO the con
clusion that the grand jury investiga-
tion would fail TO result in punishment
or even indictment Of any person con-
nected with the killing OF the Italians.
