The Wealthy Fruit Dealer, the Head OF the
Malta, Who Was Killed Saturday.
srAn reporter today met gentleman from
New Orleans who was well acquainted with Joe
Macheca, the supposed head Of the Malta, who
was among those killed in the Jail at New Or
leans on Saturday.
Joe Mncheca," he suid, "was a man worth
probably $500, 900. He had control Of the fruit
trade Of New Orleans and ran line Of fruit
steamers. l think he was native of Louisiana.

He could speak English ns well as

jolly good fellows in his manners. Some fif-
teen years ago an American set up rival fruit
business in the city. Macheca had control of
The American opened large fruit store after
the style of some in Chicago and New York,
with bar in the rear. His wife
was an italian who could speak
hardly any Engiish. and he could speak
no Italian. Macheca used to be about the
store great deal, and got to be rather more
friendly with the American dealers wife than

that he must keep away or il would not DO well
for him. He took the warning and eft the

THE SUNKEN TRIANA.
Government Cutters Dexter and Gal
latin Inspect Her Position.
GRIP PREVAILS IN MINNEAPOLIS, MINI.
Part Of the Cabinet Enjoying
Themselves in Florida.
DULL AND STEADY,
LITTLE HOPE FOR THE TRIANA.

LITTLE HOPE FOR THE TR1ANA.
The Cutters Dexter and Gallatin Go to the
Wrecked Torpedo Boat.
NEW BEDFORD, MASS, March 17.-Revenue
cutters Dexter of Newport and Gallatin Of
Boston arrived in this harbor at IL
o'clock this morning. The Dexter had
on board the officers and crew
Of the Triana, wrecked on Cuttyhunk
while carrying provisions to the Galena and
Nina wrecked off Gayhead. The Dexter left
Newport at o'clock this morning for Gayhead
to render what assistance was possible. She
arrived at Cuttyhunk at s15 o'clock. She
reported a heavy sea and strong south
west wind. The waves were breaking
with terrible force over the Triana, and 1t was
apparent that she was doomed. The bows have
settled and the stern is lifted above water. If
the wind continues it is expected she will go to
pieces.
The Dexter merely sighted the Galcna. She
was in the fury Of the waves, which
were dashing over her with such
force that only the topmasts could be
seen through the mist. The Dexter's
officers would not speak Of her condition or
prospects, but say they are much worse than
they were yesterday. They think all three
vessels will be broken up.
The Gallntin. which left Boston yesterday,
arrived OF the Vineyard at 10 o clock last night,
where she lay until this morning. when she put
out into the sound, but because of rough
weather and an impossibility to be Of service
returned. 1t was then she sighted the Dexter
and accompanied her to this port. On arrival
the crew of the Triana were sent by
rail to Newport ard her officers
tried to get communication with Commander
Jewell of the torpedo station, under whose i'm
mediate orders they are. The commanders of
the cutters also telegraphed for orders, which
they are awaiting.
They say that they can render no assistance
to the vessels, and they will probably not be
ordered on that duty.
Collector Taylor this morning received a dis
patch from Commander Bicknell of the Galena
not to send rations previously requested, if
he had not already done 80. He also received
following dispatch from the department at
Washington:
'.WAsuINaToN, D. c., March Is, 1s91.-If pos
sible send tow boat or large tug to assistance
of government steamer Triana at Cuttyhunk.
Answer. (Signed) ]. r. Solely, acting secre-
tary."
Collector Taylor. learning that a powerful
tug had left Boston for Cuttyhunk, wired the
Secretary Of the Navy to that effect.
