New ORLEANS, March t7.-There is
mot the least bit of excitement in the
city today, matters having resumed
their usual course. Business is going
on as usual. and the stranger could not
by outward signs guess that tho city
had been the scene of tragedy which
startled the country.
Many Italians who were under tho
Malta ban are delighted at Saturdays
uprising, aud say that the Malta will
now be broken up. Even the Italian
consul received letter threatening him
In case he did not assist in getting the
accused off The district attorney is in
vestigatlng the jury bribery charges.
After escaping lynching on Saturday,
Joseph Proyenzano. whom the Malta
have wanted to get ont of the way for
some time, now makes public confess
sion made to him by Jim Garuso, killed
by the mob ON Saturday. Caruso was
initiated to the Malta by Matranza who
was acquitted by the jury, and released
from prison, Caruso said he only
attended one meeting, that he went in,
and Matrauza held up skull IN his left
hand and dirk in his right.
He was then sworn with uplltted
hands to abide the decision Of the order.
He said he was informed after taking
the obligation that the object was to
kill those who were against the Malta
gang. The way it was done, was to
select the victim and invite him to a
dinner and afterwards do him mp,
I. Caruso said afterwards that he did
not like to commit murder, but was
willing to rob, so he went to the Italian
church and swore before the altar that
he would have nothing more to 10 with
the Malta Afterwards, however, he
was frightened back, with the result of
losing his life. Caruso also said that
Rocci and Politz belonged to the order.
The Govern ment Not Responsible.
WASHINGTON, March 17,-Secretary
Blaine stated that there were no new
developments in La Malta troubles in
New Orleans.
He was in receipt Of numerous tele-
grams from Italian societies and promi-
nent Italians throughout the county in
regard to the matter, evldencing the
deep feeling and interest the killing had
aroused in this country.
On all hands in official circles the
killing is deeply deplored. but rs far as
opinions expressed in diplomatic circles
indicate, the United States cannot iu
any way be held responsible for the
killing 1t is purely police matter of
state jurisdiction, and if any indemnity
is demanded it must be from the state.
The demand, of course, will come from
the Italian government through its min
lister resident and transmitted to the
governor of Louisiana through the
state department. That is the diplo-
matic route, but it will not in any way
commit the United States to the paying
of an indemnity.
Secretary Blaine has received tele-
gram from Governor Nichols stating
that all was quiet in New Orleans and
that he would reply to the secretarys
dispatch, received Sunday night, by
letter, with long explanation of the
Mafir troubles in that city,
