Two Thousand Dollars Taken from an
Express Car Near New Orleans.
Nav ORLEANS, La, April 1.-The Il
linois Central train No. 2 was held up
ana the express car robbed between
Arcola and Pangipoha about 9 O'Clock
Wednesday night by five armed masked
men. One man got aboard of the
engine at Hammond, held up the
engineer and fireman with guns
and told them to do as
they were ordered. The train went on
a side track at Independence to meet
another train. Soon after leaving Ar
cola the man on the engine told the en-
gin-er to stop. Several men were
awaiting the train at that point. The
masked men forced the engineer and
fireman to 90 to the express
car and order the messenger
to open the doors. The messenger
did not do SO, and entrance was
effected from the west side of the car.
The messenger after hiding IN the stove
several valuable packages, made his
escape. The robbers kept everyone in
side OF the coach and sleepers until
their work was completed. No
one on the train can give a good
description of the robbers. They were
apparently Young men. On entering
the car they assaulted the baggage
master by striking him on the
side Of the head with q revolver,
saying be was with the eXpresSman,
and that he had the money. He pleaded
with them, and they did not harm him
any more. Only about $1,000 was

plete and amicable settlement has been
reached In the international difficulties
between the United States and Italy,
growing out of the New Orleans lynch
ing. 1t appears that the Unit
ed States has voluntarily taken
the initiative in closing the
breach, and without committing
itself to the recognition for claim in
demnity, but as an act OF justice and
from motives of comfy, has placed in
the hands of the Marquis Impercali,

sum of 125.000 francs, or $685.
900, for distribution among the
heirs of the three Italians who were
killed and were found to be subjects OF
the Italian government. It is under
stood the money was taken from the
annual appropriation of $780, 900 to enable
the President to provide for unforeseen
emergencies in the diplomatic and
consular service, so it will be
unnecessary to call upon Congress for q
specific appropriation. By this action
on the part of the United States, the
disagreeable Implications in the rela-
tons of the two governments, it Is be-
heved, have been removed, and within
a short time the diplomatic relations be-
tween them will be fully restored.
LONDON, April IA dispatch re-
ceived here to-day from Rome says that
series of notes has passed between
Mr.. Blaine, the American secretary of
state, and Marquis Imperial, Italian
charge d'affaires at Washington. result
ing in a settlement of the differences
growing out of the lynching Of Italians
at New Orleans.
According to the dispatch the Mar
quis has advised the Italian governmen Mt
that he has secured from the United
States government the sum of $25, 600
for the families of the victims.
This money, the Marquis adds,
was accompanied by note
from Secretary Blaine, in which he
declared that although the wrong was
not committed directly by the United
States, the latter nevertheless felt a
solemn duty in the premises.
The note adds that Mr.. Blaine de-
clares he feels great pleasure that the
national government shall pay to Italy
a satisfactory indemnity. IL conse-
quence of these instructions given to
Mr.. Blaine by President Harri-
son the latter hopes that the
arrangement will end the unfortunate
incident; that the former regulations
between the two countries will be
firmly re-established and nothing in the
future will occur to disturb such rela-
tons.
In his note replying to Mr.. Blaine the
Marquis imperial says that Italy had
already with pleasure noted the terms
in which President Harrison referred
to the matter in his message at the
opening of Congress. The Marquis fur
tber says that Italy considers the indem-
nifty sufficient without prejudice to any
action at law that may be brought by
the aggrieved parties. He also ex-
presses the hope that the payment Of
the indemnity will result in the happy
re-establishment of relations between
the two governments.
