Secretary Blaine's Dispatches.
Secretary Blaine sent the following
telegram to Gov. Nichols at New
Orleans:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, March 15.-His
Excellency, Francis T. Nichols, Governor
of Louisiana, New Orleans: 1t has been
represented to the president by the minister
among the victims Of the deplorable massa-
ere which took place In the city of New Or
leans yesterday, were three or more subjects
of the king or Italy. Our treaty with that
friendly government, which under the con-
stitution is the supreme law OF the lands,
guarantees to the Italian subjects domt-
ciled in the United States, the most con-
slant protection and security for their per-
sons and property'-making them amennble
ON the same basis as our own citizens to the
laws of the United States and the several
states, In their due and orderly admintstra-
ton.
The president deeply regrets that the
citizens of New Orleans should have SO dis
paraged the purity and adequacy Of their
own judicial tribunals as to transfer to the
passionate judgment of mob a question
that should have been adjudged dispas-
sionately and settled by the rules of the
| 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 foreign
| jurisdictions. 1t is the hope OF the presl-
dent that you will cooperate with him in
maintaining the obligations of the United
States towards Italian subjects who may be
| within the perils Of the present excitement;
that further bloodshed and violence may be
prevented, and that all offenders against
the law may be promptly brought to Justice.
| JAMES G. BLAINE.
This telegram was the result of con-
ference between the president and the
secretary. This afternoon Baron DE
Fava, the Italian minister, having pre-.
viously called on Secretary Blaine and
earnestly protested against the killing OF
his countrymen, demanded at the same
time protection for all other Italians in
New Orleans.

Baron De Fava, in his protest to Sec
rotary Blaine, said that the. local author.
tiles of New Orleans net only failed tc
prevent the meeting which had beer
publicly announced and was known tc
be hostile to the Italians, but had also
held an attitude purely passive during
the massacre. He said that he wa:
obliged to reserve for his government the
right to demand any and all PREPARATION
it judged necessary.
