Gone to Washington to De-
mand Justice.
The Italian Government Pacifed.
ROME, March 16.--In the chamber
of deputies to-day the Marquis Di
Rudini, the Italian premier, replying
to the question on the subject of the
New Orleans tragedy, said that Presi-
dent Harrison had recognized the
right of the Italians in the United
States to protection from the
authorities, and that he had ex-
pressed profound regret at the oc-
currence, and had charged the
governor of Louisiana to guard the
italian residents of New Orleans,
and to bring the assassins to
justice. The premier added that
the Hon. A. G. Porter, the
United States minister here, had called
upon him to-day IN order to con-
vey President Harrison's regrets to
the Italian government. Porter said
he trusted that the explanations he
had furnished would draw even closer
the friendly relations exciting between
Italy and the United States. Signor
Brepanzl, who announced his intention
of interpolating the government on the
New Orleans affair, said that note
had been taken of the minister's state
ment. Signor Ferrais urged that in
IDENTITIES should be demanded for the

RESTRAINING THE ITALIANS.
WASHINGTON, March 16-During the
first excitement among the Italian resi-
dents of the United States, Baron Fava
yesterday sent to the Italian consul-gen
eral at New York the following tele
gram: 81 learn from the papers that
an excitement is prevailing in the italian
colony on account of the New Orleans
events. I have to resort to your infiu-
ence and authority to urge upon the
Italians of New York that they should,
by dignifed, calm and strictly legal
behavior, show themselves in these cir.
custances worthy of their civilized coun-
try. Relying upon your incontestable
authority, as we'll as on the patriotic
feelings of the colony, I am sanguine
that this advice will be followed.
(signed) FAvA,
Italian Minister"
It is understood that similar instruc-
tions have been sent by Baron Fava to
all other italian consuls in the United
States in order to calm and avert by this
means to the fullest extent possible all
undue excitement.
SENTIMENT OF CHICAGO DAGOs.
CHICAGO, March 16.-The excitement
and indignation aroused by the slay-
ing of the New Orleans suspects seems
to increase rather then diminish among
the Italians of the city. In the italian
quarters little groups of men have been
gathered all day long, and expressions of
opinion have been anything but mild.
The committee appointed last night to
take charge of the matter OF expressing
local sentiment, has decided to call a
mass meeting at Battery d. The de-
mands for satisfaction as formulated by
those Italians in charge of the local
movement, are, money reparation for the
families of the victims, and that the ring
leaders of the mob be taken to Washing
ton and tried for the crime. It is the
intention to demand that the state and
city officials under whose rule the affair
occurred be held responsible and be
punished with those who actually par
ticipated in the killing.
A BLOODTH1RsTY ITALIAN.
P1rrsBuRG, March 16.-A committee
of twelve Italians passed through Pitts
burg to-day, en- route to Washington
to see Secretary Blaine, President
Harrison and the italian minister,
to demand of them that steps be
taken Immediately in the New Or
leans killings. Pasquel Cortie, who
was the spokesman for the party,
was very much in earnest. He
said: "If the Italians in
the other cities will follow our
example, there will be raised in a
few days fund of 100000 to aid
in the work of securing justice or re-
venge. I believe the killing at New
Orleans will result in war" He con-
tinued, "But if the italian govern
ment does not force matters to q
completsGand satisfactory issue, and
receive tie reparation necessary, I
will say now. I that an army of
Italians will assemble in New Or
leans which will fully and effectu-
ally avenge the murder of our coun-
trymen." "You believe in the Malta
and the Vendetta" II believe in
revenge. Italians are revengeful when
they are angered. We are terribly
angered."
"What will you demand of this govern
ment?"
ssThat those concerned in the killing
of the italian prisoners be brought to
Justice and that full and complete
reparation be made to the families of the
deceased"
.tIf such demands should fail, what
then"
1--WE shall demand of the italian gov
ernment that it do compel it,"
"What would that amount to, even il
Italy should seek to compel acquiescence
to her demands?"
"Why, sir, Italy has such navy tha
n aha chose aho cOuld station her vessels
