An Italian Threat from New York.

New YORK, March 14.-L'e Co d
Italia, one of the representative Italian
newspapers in this city, issued an extra
edition at eleven o'clock to-day. The
story of the wholesale killing was told
briefly, and was followed with the fol-
lowing editorial appeal without
words we want satisfaction in full and
complete. If the minister at Washing
ton has not at this hour made his word
good, 1000, 900 Italians residing in the
United States will know what to do.
If the massacre that we have witnessed
in this free republic is allowed to go un-
punished we will denounce it as assas-
sination. Our word is quickly pledged.

The newspaper invites to a mass
meeting whoever has heart that beats
in his bosom.
The article continues: SIN this mo-
ment of persecution, through malignity
and wrath and hate, we ought to re-
mem Der that we are all Italians, and as
such we invite Ell Progresso and Ell Co.
lombo to unite with us at the grand
mass meeting.
Colleagues, be quick to join hands,
as we are ready and always with you.
In this supreme hour of our vindica-
ton let us be united in the name of

''Death to the assassin, death to those
that allowed such butchery."
Although lie Co d'Italia announces
the meeting for Tuesday night, this an.
nouncement was made this morning.
and the excitement grew so intense
during the day that it was decided to
hold the meeting as soon as possible,
and it will be held tomorrow night.
Late tonight number of prominent
Italians forwarded kilograms to the
Italian ambassador at Washington,
calling his attention to the murder at
New Orleans and demanding that he
take the proper steps in the matter and
give toit the recognition its Importance

the Italian prime minister, made a
statement with regard to the killing at
New Orleans, on Saturday last, of
italian prisoners who had been ac-
quilted on the charge of having muir

state, Mr.. Blaine, the assurance that
President Harrison recognized the
right of Italians resident in the United
States to the protection of the govern
ment and laws of that country. This as
su1ance was accompanied by an express
sion of the profound regret felt by the
president for the unfortunate occur
renee.
In his communication to the Italian
government Mr.. Blaine also informed
it that the president had charged the
governor of Louisiana to take effective
measures to guard the Italian popula-
ton of the city of New Orleans from
further violence and to use every effort

Secretary Blaine to Gov. Nichols.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Baron Fava,
the Italian minister, to-day formally
brought to the attention of the presi-
dent the slaughter of the Sicilian pris-
oners in the parish Jail at New Orleans
yesterday. As a result, Secretary
Blaine sent the following dispatch to
Gov. Nichols this evening:
1t has been represented to the president
by the minister of Italy accredited to this
government that among the victims of ths
deplorable massacre which took place in the
city OF New Orleans yesterday were three OF
more subjects of the king of Italy. Our
treaty with that friendly government (Which
under the constitution is the supreme law
OF the landl guaranteed to the Italian sub
jects domiciled in the United States 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
The President deeply regrets that the citi.
zens 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 a mob, a question
that should have been adjudicated dispas-
sionately and by settled rules of law. The
government of the United States must give
to the subjects of friendly powers that secur-
ity which it demands for our own citizens
when temporarily under foreign jursdic
tion. 1t is the hope of the president that
you will CO. cooperate with him in maintaining
the obligations of the United States towards
the Italian subjects who may be within the
perls of the present excitement, that fur.
ther bloodshed and violence may be pre-
vented and that all offenders against the law
may be promptly brought to Justice
Depended on Bribery for the Release OF
the Accused.
New ORLEANS, March 15.-One of the
chief causes of the public indignation
in connection with the Malta trial has
been the belief that the society de-
pended on bribery to secure the release
of the accused. 1t has been asserted
that S75, 900 or 500, 900 was contributed
by Italians all over the country to be
used as a corruption fund. Thousands
of dollars, it was said, came from Chi
cago, New York and other cities where
the Italians are congregated in large
numbers. 1t is certain that poor Italian
laborers in this vicinity were taxed two
dollars apiece as a contribution to the
defense fund, and that there was no
lack of money in the treasury Of the So
ciety.

THE MAFIA MASSACRE.

The Italian Government Awaiting Fur
ther Information Regarding the New
Orleans Tragedy Before Taking Action
in the Premises-The Matter Presented
in the Italian Chamber of Deputies and
Statement Made by the Premier.
LONDON, March IA dispatch from
Rome says that the government will
take no further action in respect to the
massacre of Italian subjects at New
Orleans until word has been received
from the American government as to
its course. The popular feeling on the
subject in Rome and other cities has
not abated, and the demand for action
is loud and imperative. The news had
tie effect, for the time, of
stemming the current of partisan
animosity, which has boa running
very high both in the chamber of depu-
ties and outside, and all parties appear
united for the time being in indigna-
ton against America. This is consid-
cred, the dispatch says, a disquieting
symptom, as the Rudini cabinet may
go any length to please the popular
sentiment. 1t is stated that orders were
given yesterday to suspend the dircc-
tions previously given for diminish
ing the active force of the navy.
Baron di Brocchetti, naval attache at
Paris, says that the Italian navy is now
one of the finest in the world and
could easily block entrance to the Med
iterranean to any power except France
or England, while sending swift sailing
c,-uiSerS TO every ocean to Drey on the
commerce of an enemy. As to the

SOUTHERN GlEANINGS,
Killed a Huge Bear.

Mr.. Aoe Nixon, of Clinch county,
Ga, and party of friends killed a
huge black bear the other morning.
Mr.. Nixon lives at Mixons Ferry, on
the Suwanee river, near its source, in
the Okefinokee swamp. About 10
o'clock at night his dogs began a terri
fic barking in the yard, and going to
the door he heard hog squealing
about 200 yards from the house. He
knew what was the matter. He shout
ed to the dogs, and they made off to the
racket. The bear carried the hog into
large swamp near by ard stood eating
1t while the dogs bayed him. Mr..
Nixon saddled horse and went at full
speed a mile and half, and got two
men and more dogs and return ed. Then
they made a charge upon bruin. The
old hog-thief climbed up a pine and
comfortably fixed himself in the top
among clustering boughs. Mr.. Nixon
and friends built two or three large
bonfres around the tree and stood
guard until daylight. When the sun
gave them sufficient light they opened
fire, and at the thirteenth shot bruin
came tumbling down. The bear
weighed 400 pounds, and measured three
inches through the fat on the round. He
also measured seven inches across the
ball of the foot.

Shot Dead at His own Door.

Up to few days ago Tom Burnett
lived on the Burnett place, seven miles
from Eufaula Ala, on the Georgia side
of the riveN The other night he fell
dead in his doorway with load of buck
shot in his brain, and the assassin fed
in the darkness with his identity un-
known. About Christmas time Tom
Burnett married John Scott's daughter
against the wishes of her parents. They
had Tom in court, and to please her
parents his wife went to live with her
mother; but a week ago she returned to
her husbands roof, leaving her parents
greatly incensed at his influence over
her. Tom and his wife were sitting at
the supper table when the door was
pushed open, and getting up to see who
opened it, he never spoke again. The
afternoon before John Scott, Tom Bur
nett's wife's father, left his house with
a guE on his shoulder, and, as report
says, did not return. His wife is held az
an accessory before the fact.
