New York, April 23.-The Italian
government seems to be making an
effort to inform its subjects about the
immigration laws Of the United States.
The first evidence Of this appeared on
tho back Of the passport of an immi-
grant who landed at the barge Office to-
day. 1t was in the form Of a printed
paster and ran thus: According to the
laws in force in tho American union all
convicts, idiots, paupers aud profess
sional beggars and all who come to
tho United States under contract to
work are barred from landing, and
whom an immigrant is landed In viola
tion OF the above he is subject to expul-
sion from the republic within ono year
from landing. The expenses OF his re-
turn are borne by the steamship com
pany which carried him. This regula-
tion does not apply to domestic servants
who accompany their masters" Thir-
teen OF tho regiment Of Italians who
arrived on Monday on the steamships
Alesia and Alexandria were debarred
today. Five had been imprisoned in
