On the MafIa Question.

WASHINGTON, March S0.-Reports
are current here that the government
has agreed to pay Italy an indemL-
ity of $4,000 for the killing in New
Orleans, and that this proposition has
been accepted, and Minister Foster
will retUrn to Rome at one. The
state department. of course, is
silent on the subject, but there
Ia reason TO believe, there is some
truth in the story. 1t is not probable
that an absolute agreement has been
entered into, as the matter will prob
ably have to be submitted to con-
gress, but there is reason to believe
the president and state department
have indicated willingness to so
recommend 70 congress. 1t is sup
posed this proposition came from
the italian government and the
feeling here is that If this
UNI will heal diplomatic wounds,
ne easiest and best thing will be to
pay it.

Tried TO XII Him.

This morning about three o'clock while
Officer James Brown was standing in
front of Krempkau's saloon at the corner
of Laredo and DolOrosa streets, he saw
two men running toward him, one after
the other. The man in the rear, which
proved to be Manuel Segura, had a knife
in his hand and was making slashes
at the one in front, who was
Enrique Meje. Officer Brown called to
them TO stop, whereupon Segura made a
cut at him. Brown then shot his pistol
off in the others face, which scared him,
and he started to run back towards the
plaza, when on the bridge he was met by
officer Conner, who tried to stop him,
and who, for his trouble, had his coat cut
Brown called to Conner that the man
had a knife, but too late. Conner,
when he saw the knife, pulled
his pistol and fired it off in the air which
scared the man and he broke and ran.
He was however soon overtaken and ar
rested for assault with intent to kill.
The man Mejie was very badly cut in
two places, one in the side, just below
his ribs and the other on the forehead.
Both men had been drinking and had
gotten in a row over a woman. Mejie
was arrested on charge of drunk and
disOrderly.

LEONARDTowN, Md, March 30
Robert l.. Thompson was convicted
in the circuit court here Saturday of
wife-beatipg, and sentenced to receive
ten lashes The evidence for the
state showed that he was guilty OF 3
most brutal assault upon his wife,
who is q young woman of good ap.

gentle disposition. But for the fact
that the jury recommended the
