The italian Colony Greatly Agitated
Over the Tragedy.
New York, March 16.-The Italians
in this city are very much excited over
the New Orleans tragedy. One of the
most prominent men among them said !:
"The Italians look at the matter in this
light. Their countrymen were tried by
a jury in an American court; an Amer
ican jury brought in a verdict of not
guilty; American people do not stand
by the laws of their country, but take
justice into their own hands, and
murder these men. know it is safe to
say that no New York Italian believes
in any such secret society as the Malta.
They condemn it as much as native
born Americans do. We simply intend
to make an earnest protest against the
wholesale butchery of our countrymen.
No body of Italians has ever committed
such crimes"
LIE Co d'Italia published telegram
from Palermo, Sicily, today, which
stated that there was great indignation
felt there over the New Orleans tragedy.
1t is the only subject talked of, and the
American residents have emigrated to
Italy and the south of France.
kilograms expressive of the indigna-
ton of the Italian colonists throughout
America continue to be received by M !.
Barsotti at the Office of IL Progresso. A
number were received today from all
parts of the country.
General Riva, Italian consul in this
city, declined to be interviewed con-
cerning the trouble atNew Orleans. He,
however, announced through the vice.
consul, that as representative of the
Italian government he greatly regretted
the unfortunate occurrence.

THE MAFIA'S DOINGS.
How the italian Murder Society Held Its
Lawless Sway.


How the italian Murder Society Held Its
Lawiess Sway.
New ORLEANS, March 16.--It is re-
ported that Politz's confession to the
states attorney, while largely discon-
nected one, yet gave many impol tant
features regarding the Maha's doings.
He told about meeting at (which it was
decided that Hennessy should die. In
order to settle who should kill him, ten
slips of paper, numbered, were placed
in a hat with a lot of blanks. Whoever
drew numbered slip was assigned to
the Hennessy murder.
In Father Manoritta's statement yes
terday, he said he was sure the letter
he received was from the Provenzano
faction of the Malta. This statement
this morning Joseph Provenzano
most emphatically denied. He said
his first impulse was to have
Father Manoritta arrested, and he con-
suited Chief Gaslerin regarding the
matter, and was advised to make pub
lie statement concerning the. matter,
which he thought would do more good.
Provenzano says he has not been con-
nected with the Malta in any manner.
On the contrary, he has been an object
OF their enmity.
{ About five years ago" says Proven
.zano. "the Malta sent me several letters
threatening to kill myself and brothers
unless we gave the society $1,000. We
did not respond, and Jim Paruso shortly
afterward came to me and said he be-
longed to the society, and that we had
better pay the money. He said could
do so by going to the old lake and ban
daging my head in red handkerchief
and leaving the money in swamp near
by, l to then go about my business
and they to get the money. l then
went to some of my friends, Jung
Davy, Pat Meally and Ralph
Morgan being among the number,
and they said not to pay
it; that they would go with me in a
wagon aud see who was there to receive
it. Jim Caruso who was along, said
this would not do. If you go with the
crowd no one will appear" then
dropped the matter and told Caruso tc
have nothing more to do with the So
cietv; to give up his fruit stand in the
French market and come on the levee
and we would make him q free man.
He said he would do SO as he was tired
of the Malta, having recently been
selected on a committee to kill some
one."
Provenzano added that Caruso went
to an Italian church and took an oath
. to quit the Malta. He said Charlie
Matranga was chief of the Malta gang,
and that its object was to kill those who
were against it. When victim was
selected he was invited to dinner, after
which he was ''done up" Provenzano
thinks one Die Carlo gave Father Man
oritta the idea that he was connected
with the gang. Caruso finally went
back to Matranga because OF intimida-
tion by the gang.

FELL IN A FIT.
An Ohio Ex-Congressman Forgets
Where He Lives.

When the 10 80 train from Pasadena,
on the Terminal route, came to the
Downey-avenue depot yesterday, the
conductor and brakeman assisted pas
senger to alight from the train. Hewas
seemingly very ill. He took the train
at Pasadena, and on the way in was
seized by fit OF epilepsy, or something
OF the kind. After reclining for time
on the bench at the station, he became
well enough to say that his name was
Yocum, and that he came from Pasa-
dena. He is a relative of Professor
Yocum, of that place, and was at one
time member Of congress from Ohio.
Some time ago ne came to Pasadena and
bought piece of land. Yesterday he was
coming into town to buy team to use
on his ranch, when he was taken ill.
The station agent telegraphed his con-
dition to Professor Y Yocum and requested
him to meet the train at the depot in
Pasadena on the arrival of the train
leaving this city at IL, as he could not
recall the name of the street nor the
number at which he lived. The attack
nearly paralysed him.

ExcITEMENT IN CHICAGO.
italian Citizens and Methodist Minister
Worked UP.

Worked Up.
CHICAGO, March 16.--The excitement
aroused by the New Orleans incident
seems to increase in the Italian quarter
of this city. A committee appointed
last night has decided to call mass
meeting to demand financial reparation,
and Tat the ring-leaders of the mob be
tried ior the crime. A local italian
paper devotes much space to a bitter
denunciation of the lynchers, and call
ing for retribution. Among other
things it says: "a curse upon the peo-
Pile of Louisiana, and may they and
their descendants suffer a thousand
deaths, and a thousand times feel the
sorrow that today aff1icts the bereaved
wives, sisters and children"
At the weekly meeting of Methodist
ministers today, resolutions were intro
duced deprecating the tardiness OF
justice in New Orleans and. other cities,
yet declaring lynch law abhorrent to the
spirit OF our government. The resolu-
tions caused heated debate, in which
widely divergent views were expressed
Rev. Frank Bristol thought it shame
that ministers should have to take a
bold stand on such a question. Rev.
r. r. Bland strenuously opposed the
resolutions, going so far as to say !:
when the law will not take care of a
lot of murderers, is time the people
did something" The matter was finally
referred to committee.

ITALIAN RESENTMENT.
Threats of Boycotting the Worlds
Columbian ExpOsitiOn.

Columbian Exposition.
BosToN, March 16.-A London cable
to the Boston Herald, dated today,
says: A dispatch from Rome states
that the news OF the massacre of Italian
prisoners in New Orleans did not become
generally known in that city until this
morning. 1t created a profound sensa-
ton, and cables have been passing be-
tween the cabinet and the. Italian
minister at Washington. The general
feeling is one of utmost indignation and
thirst for reprisal in some form. An
English visitor, mistaken for an Ameri-
can, had narrow escape from being
mobbed. 1t is expected that the sub
ject will be brought up in the chamber
OF deputies. In talk on the streets and
in public places, strong protests are
uttered against any representation OF
Italy at the coming American exhibi-
tion.
Count Rasponi, of the Italian legation
in Paris, expressed himself today in
very strong terms on what he called the
cruel massacre of his countrymen. He
said Italy could not afford to let such an
outrage on humanity go without re-
dress, and that it was stain on the
American people that could never be
effaced. He added that in his own per-
sonal opinion it ended all prospect Of
Italy taking part in the Chicago exposi-
tion.
Among the Italian residents of Lon
don there is much excitement on the
subject, and the killing is fiercely de-
nounced. There is talk of mass meet
ing to request King Humbert to de-
mand redress. -

On the New Orleans Tragedy.

LudicrOus Comment of the Italian Press
On the New Orleans Tragedy.
ROME, March 16.--The papers here
make the following comments on the
New Orleans tragedy:
The Captain Fracassa says: "The
weak in America are at the mercy of a
ferocious, bloody populace, and are tor
tured and murdered in daylight"
The Don Giuseppe Della Mancia re-
marks: ''Italy ought to demand that
instant measures be taken to protect
the Italian colony in New Orleans.
However, it is just also to recognize the
fact that similar incident would not
occur in the towns if the Atlantic littoral
were not infested with the ex-galley
slaves of Europe"
The Popolo Romano says Relying
on the foresight of the American author
tiles. and out of regard for sincerely
friendly power, Italy has refrained from
sending an ironclad to the mouth of the
Mississippi"
Riforma says: Elements hostile to
Italy--above all the Irish-made the
murder of Chief Hennessy pretext to
paralyze public opinion which was veer-
ing in favor Of the Italians"
In the chamber of deputies, today.
Marquis Di Rudini, the Italian premier,
replying to a question in regard to the
New Orleans tragedy, said President
Harrison had recognized the right of
Italians in the United States to
protection by the authorities, and that
he had expressed profound regret at the
occurrence, and had charged the governor
Of Louisiana to guard the Italian resi-
dents in New Orleans, and to bring the
assassins to justice. The premier added
that A. G. Porter, United States minis
order to convey President Harrison's Is
regrets to the italian government. Por-
ter said he trusted that tho explanations
he had furnished would draw even closer
the friendly relations existing between
Italy and the United States.

should be demanded for the victims.

Leading Papers Commend the Action of
the New Orleans Mob.
LONDON, March 16-The Star this
evening is of the opinion that can i'm
pressive feature of the New Orleans af-
fair was the perfect orderliness main
tanned throughout the proceedings.
Here the champions of law and order
stand aghast at such proceedings. The
American democracy has sounder no.
tions as to what law and order really
mean"
Moreton Frewen, son-in-law OF the late
Leonard Jerome, has written a letter,
which was published in the Pail Mall
Gazette today, defending the action of
the citizens of New Orleans, as ''the
Strengthening out of the Italian question
old women of both sexes to moralize over
the so-called excesses Of the blood
stained populace, etc"
Mr.. Frewer also commends the action
of "the men of Louisiana, who are not
spoiled by the spirit of submission to the
letter of the law, which has done so
much to emasculate the human race
The Pail Mall Gazette in reply gener-
ally criticizes Frewen's letter, but holds
that the English people ought not to
hold up their hands in righteous horror,
adding: lone branch of the Anglo
Saxon race does not differ from another
in this matter. The citizens of New
Orleans finding that the jury did not do
its duty, said: We,must by one means
or by another put crime down.
The St. James Gazette, referring to
the same subject, says the incident
shows that the native Americans have
not lost the vitality of strong resolution
which is sometimes dissolved by life
of comfort and luxury in modern So
ciety The men who organized this de-
of what they have done. They have
defeated a society of foreign ruffians
who were trying to terrorize whole
city. 1t is doubtful if "John Bull" has
enough grit left in him to protest in as
emphatic manner as the citizens of
New Orleans have protested.

ton, and all further action will De taken

The district attorney has entered a
nolle prosequi as to all the indictments
pending in section B OF the criminal
court against the Italians implicated in
the Hennessy assassination. This re-
leases Charles Matraga, Incardonia and
the Marchesi boys. The indictments in
section A still hold against Sunzerri,
Patorono, John Caruso, Natalo and
Pietzo.
The italian consul being asked today
If it was true that he had expressed ap-
proval OF the doings of the citizens Sat-
urday, said he had stated that he hoped
justice would be meted out to the Hen
messy murderers. He was positive
some OF the slain were innocent !;
as to the others, he would not
express. himself. Last December Mr..
Corte, the consul, received letter
signed by the Malta, threatening him
with dire consequences if he did not
work in their interests and for the
release of the accused.
Governor Nichols has been earnestly
considering the matter, but will not
yet make public his reply to Secretary
Blaine.
1t is believed here that the better
element Of Italians are glad that Satur-
days lesson has been administered to
the Malta, as they have for years been
in dread of it. 1t is stated that when
the verdict was returned Friday, two
men belonging to the Malta went to the
levee flag pole, where one Of them hauled
down the American flag and hoisted the
Italian flag. The American flag was
then hoisted under it. A number of
Italians were standing about; when
asked later why they permitted this,
they said they were afraid to interfere.
