 Italy's Minister Lays the Case Before Pres ident Harrison-Secretary Blaine Asks
 Louisiana's Governor to Bring the Of
 lenders to Justice-Italians to Hold Mass
 Meetings and Denounce the LynchinS.
 NEW ORLEANS, March 16.-The excite ment that preceded and followed the lynching of the Il Italians who were ac- cused of the assassination of Chief of Po- lice Hennessy has cooled somewhat. Peo- pie generally, however, seem indisposed to talk about the matter and the current of affairs runs about as usual.
 Idle crowds still gather about the prison inspecting the gate through which the crowd entered or gaze curiously at the windows, at which were groups of prison CTS peering through the bars at the peo- pie below. The tree in front of the jail on which Bagnetto was hanged was an object of peculiar interest to the crowds on the outside. It has been almost complete ly stripped of its bark by people anxious to secure relics of the lynching or the superstitious who put faith in the old tra- dition that there is luck in the rope or scaffold which serves the hangman'S of flee
 The great majority of the people strongly support the action of the mob and of the Committee of Law and Order, under whose orders the lynchers acted, and while admitting that more of the prisoners were killed than had been orig inally intended, insist that this was inev- itable in a movement of this kind. They point to the fact that the mob marched to and from the prison, and that no one was disturbed or injured save the men ac' cused of the murder.
 The press is unanimous in approving the action of the mob.
 The Victims Buried. All of the victims were buried during the day. Monasterio, Marchesi and Ira nina were unclaimed up to noon, and the charity wagon took them to Potters' Field 1 Politz and Comitez were followed to the 1 grave by a single carriage, and in the case l of Bagnetto the hearse went alone. Joseph Macheca had the largest and best attend ed funeral. He had half Q dozen pail l bearers, none of whom were Italians. Car l uso and Macheca were taken from their residences to the St. Louis Cathedral, and the ceremonies in each case were very i'm 1 posing.
 Action of the Authorities. The authorities will in every probability 1 take some action against the leaders of | SAAASASASSOONA will be merely formal, and that nothing will be done to them. Attorney Genenral l Walter H. Rogers was seen at his resi- i dence and questioned as to his intentions 1 in the premises. He said: ''The question now presented to the authorities clothed with jurisdiction in this city and parish is: 1 Have the laws of the State been violated ? What crimes have resulted from such vio- lence The grand jury is in session, and we have in full operation the means and modes of enforcing laws. have no doubt those charged with official duty will act | firmly, justly and fearlessly.'
 Superintendent of Police Caster was asked what steps he intended to take in the matter, and said that he could not 1 arrest the community.
 Still Expect Trouble.
 Great fear is felt that the race troubles are not at an end here yet, and it is freely predicted that the first overt act on the part of Sicilians the Italian quar- ter will be sacked. The police hate the 1 Italians, and would be of no use in sup pressing an outbreak against them.
 The Italians and all that strange mass of people from foreign Mediterranean sea- ports, which is so large an element of the foreign quarter of New Orleans, who are commonly called "Dagoes," are all armed and will fight like wildcats, with that strange Iury GnaG upou OCCdSlonS characterizes the mobs of the Latin race, mad with fury and fright.
 It will be an awful fight if it does come. The meddling of the Italian con sul and his threats have greatly embit- tered the sentiment against the whole race. The Italian priests are peace makers, but are power.ess. The next fortnight is full of peril. Mayor Shake speare, his secretary and six councilmeu, 1t is said, are marked for the stiletto or bullet.
 Vigilance Committee Still at Work.
 The vigilant committee is said to be still at work and it said that tomorrow will be the day of reckoning for detective O'Mally. The jury will also be attended to but probably through the courts The State had evidence against several of the jurors before the verdict was announced, and it is said that one of them has all ready confessed. The grand jury will in dict one juror on Tuesday and more will fellow.
 Four Were Italian Subjects.
 NEW ORLEANS, March 16-Mr. Pas quale Corte, the Italian Consul in this city, states that he called on the mayor of New Orleans and the Governor of Louisi.
