ROME, March 16.-The news of the
massacre Of Italian prisoners in New
Orleans did not become generally known
in this city until Sunday morning. It
created pronounced sensation and ca
bles have been passing between the cab
met and the Italian minister at Wash
ington. The general feeling is one of
utmost indignation and thirst for repri-
sais in some shape. An English visitor
who was mistaken for an American citi-
zen narrowly escaped from being
mobbed. 1t is expected that the subjecr
will be brought up in the chamber of
deputies. 1t is the talk on the streets,
and in public places strong protests
were uttered against the representation
OF Italy at the coming American exhi-
bition.
A Stain on the American People.
Count Rashoni, of the Italian legation
tn Paris, expressed himself in very strong
terms on what he called the cruel mas
sacre of his countrymen. He said Italy
could not afford to let such an outrage
on humanity go without redress, and
that it was a stain on the American
people that could never be effaced. He
added that in his own personal opinion
it ended all prospect of Italy taking
part in the Chicago exhibition. The
count was very much excited. He also
said that he did not doubt if the men
had been guilty they would have been
convicted, as the jury would not have
dared to acquit them.
London Italians Indignant.
Among Italian residents in London
there is much excitement on the sub
ject. There is some talk of mass
meeting Of Italians in London to pro-
test against the course of the American
authorities in permitting such crime
and to request King Humbert to de-
mand redress.

Pollrze, tine crazy man, was locked up
in a cell up stairs. The doors were
flung open and one OF the avengers,
taking aim, shot him through the body.
He was not killed outright, and in order
to satisfy the mob outside, who were
crazy to know what was going on with
in, no was dragged down the stairs and
through the doorway by which the
crowd had entered. A rope was pro-
vided and tied around his neck and the
people pulled him up to the crossbars of
lamp post. Not satisfied that he was
dead a score of men took aim and
poured volley Of shot into him, and
for several hours the body was left
dangling in the air.
Bagnetto was caught in the first rush
up stairs, and the first volley of bullets
pierced his brain, He was pulled out
by a number of stalwart men through
the main entrance to the prison and
from the limb of n tree his body was
suspended, although life was already
gone.
Just as soon as the bloody work was
done Mr.. Parkerson addressed the
crowd to disperse. This they consented
to do with ringing shout.

Coroner Lemonnier Immediately held
an inquest. The jury rendered a ver-
dict that the men came to Their death
