ID. C. O'Malley, the private detective

All of the victims were buried Sun
day. Marchesi. Monasteria and Ira
hina were unclaimed up to noon and
the charity wagon took them TO pot
ter's field. Politz and Comitze were
followed to the grave By single car
riage, and in Bagnetto's case the hearsc
went alone. There we're no religious
services in these cases. The others had
large and well-attended funerals,
Joseph =. Macheca having the larger.
Caruso and Macheca were taken from
their residences to the st. Louis cathe-
dral, and the ceremonies in each case,
with priests, organ, choir. catafa.co and
magnificent cas,Sets, were very lmpos-
ing. Macheca had half dozen pail
bearers, none of them Italians
Governor Nichols said that the Ital-
ian consul had called on him at his
Office Saturday morning, and THAT he
had asked interference and protection
for Italian subjects in the parish prison
who were threatened with mob vio-
lerce. The matter had not been called
officially to the governors atten-
ton, and the call for the military
would have to come through the mayor
of the city. No such demand had been
made. When the consul called on the
governor the crowd had already started
toward the prison. Mayor Shakespeare
says that his aid had not been invoked,
and when IL reached the Office 1t was all
over. He had not asked any aid of the
governor.
THEY WANT REDRESS.
New ORLEANS, March l6.-Mr. Pas
quale Corte. the Italian consul in this
city. states that he called on the mayor
of New Orleans and governor of Louis
lana and asked for protection for the
Italian subjects among the prisoners.
None was given by either official.
lie Immediately communicated with
the Italian minister in Washington and
also with the home government ut
I Rome. Four of the eleven are Italian
subjects-viz.: Monasterio, Marchesi,
Comitez. and Trahina. The others are
either of American birth or naturalizcd.
WASHINGTON, March le.-The New
Orleans mob has got the United States
into grave international scrape.
There is no doubt about it. Such of the
victims of the mob as were not nat
uralized citizens were entitled TO the
protection due to all subjects of for
eign governments. The failure of the
state authorities of Louisiana to give
them p>otection falls upon the federal
government, because no foreign nation
can deal with a single state. The fact
that six of the accused Sicilians had
! been acquitted and the other three
given verdict of mistrial emphasizes
in International law the outrageous ma
turc of the mob's work.
Money damages will probably be de-
manded and other reparation be asked.
Baron Fava. the Italian minister. has
been in Washington long enough to un-
derstand perfectly well the limitations
of federal and state authority and to
know personally the entire responsible
ity is on the state of Louisiana, but he
can not make any demand on IL. and
officially he must seek reparation only
from the United States
Among congressman and diplomats
who have given such matters some at
tention IL is not thought the massacre
of the several ttslian subjects can be-
come matter for International consid-
Grafton or complication between italy
and the United States The men, IL Is
said. were not murdered as Italians,
and the only reparation that can
he obtained is possibly damages
by the wives or relatives of the
dead Italian subjects from the munich
pal government Of New Orleans for not
protecting the persons Of individnals-
