The City Receivers from the Disorders of
Mob Law.
New ORLEANS, La. March 16.-New
Orleans has QUOTED down to-day. The
telegram from Secretary Blaine to the
governor. ordering prompt action
against the mob, caused some commo-
ton, but it was not unexpected. The
telegram was sent direct to Gov. Nichols
and referred by him TO Atty.-Gen.
Rogers. Whether a reply has been
sent to the governor is not yet known.
Atsy-Gen Rogers has made an investi-
cation of the occurrences at the jail.
The prison officials say that they
recognized some of the persons
who were on the inside Of the
prison, and these names, it is under
stood, have been forwarded to the
encouragement. Some indictments
may follow as formality, but SO great
number of people were concerned in
the killing that it will be impossible to
arraign them all, or to secure a convic-
ton in case they should be arrested.
The Italian consul, Sig Corte, says that a
full report of the proceedings has been
transmitted to Rome and to the legation
at Washington, and all further action
will be taken through the legation.
O'Malley, the detective who was
largely the cause of the trouble, is not
in town. His suit against the States for
10000 damages is to come up to-
day, and the answer of the defendant
has already been published. 1t
was so strong and indicated so plain
ly that O'Malley had been sent
to prison for theft in Cleveland,
that he had perjured himself, and
that he had suborned witnesses
that sentiment against him was Gre
ated, and it is expected now that he has
left town never TO return, especially as
he was not in court to-day when his
case was called.
The bodies of the II Italians slain by
the mob on Saturday, were buried yes
terday. The coroner has concluded his
investigation. During the inquiry it de-
veloped that the 'citizens' committee"
battered down the jail door, after slight
resistance by the officers, found the
prisoners in the wOmen's department,
and shot them to death. Politz alone
was dragged outside the jail and hanged.
Yesterday and to-day New Orleans was
as peaceful as it ever was. There were
no disturbances.
The district attorney has entered a
nolle prosque as to all the indictments
pendingin section B of the criminal dis
trict court against the Italians implicated
IN the Hennessey assassination. This
releases Charles Matranga, Incardonia
and the Marchesi boy. The indict-
ments in section A, Judge Marr's di-
vision, still hold SunZerri, Patorno,

New YORK, March 16.-Gen. Riva. the
interviewed concerning the trouble at
New Orleans. He, however, announced
through the vice-consul that as
the representative of the Italian
government he greatly regretted the
unfortunate occurrence in the South.
He was unable to state what action his
government would take, nor was
he informed as to anv pos
sible action which might be
taken by the Italian colonists OF
New York. Cases of this kind have
been very few, and the consul-general
was unable to recall what had been
done under similar circumstances in the
past. The big Italian indignation meet
ing will probably be held on Wednesday
eveniDgin Tammany Hall. In the mean
time all festivities will be abandoned.
Tonight a meeting of the Victor
Emanuel Society will be held at the
Germania Assembly rooms, when
speakers for the mass meeting will be
appointed. Many prominent members
OF the Italian colony will be present.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 16.-Secre-
tary Blaine this afternoon received a
telegram from Gov Nichols of Louis
lana, saying that all is quiet at New Or
leans, and saying that he will reply to
the Secretary's telegram by letter.
