THE MURDERED ITALIANS
Baron Fava's Note to Secretary Gresham
on the Incident.
He Hopes the Colorado Authorities
Will Punish the Guilty Parties
Probable Action.

The italian government Is acting with ex-
treme moderation and consideration in the
matter Of the killing of five of its citizens
at Walsenburg, Col. Notwithstanding the
clamor Of the italian press for the adop-
ton Of energetic measures. There has been
nothing in the nature of a protest lodged
with this government, nor demand for
indemnity and reparation. The only COM
munication received from the Italian gov
ernment, save the verbal request from the
Marquis Imperial that proper protection
be afforded to the other Italians at Walsen-
burg, came today. in the shape OF a short
and dignifed note from Baron Fava, the
italian ambassador, inclosing to Secretary
Gresham copy of the report Of DR.. Cuneo,
the italian consul at Denver, stating the
facts attending the killing and the names
Of the victims. all five being, according to
the consul. Italian subjects, and not natu-
rallied American citizens. In transmitting
this report the ambassador simply ex-
presses the hope that the Colorado au-
thorities will take the necessary steps to
secure the prompt punishment of the guilty
parties.
The Probable Action.
This rote and report will be communi-
Gated to the governor of Colorado by the
Secretary of State, and that is as far as he
can go in the matter at present. When
Congress meets again, however, it is prob
able that the President will feel copstrain-
ed to request that an appropriation be
made to indemnify the families and rela-
tives of the murdered men for their
slaughter. .
In the case of the killing of the Italians
in New Orleans, four years ago. the State
Department took the ground that an in
demnity could not be demanded, but never
theless, 1t felt bound to yield in comfy
and equity, and on those grounds recog-
njZe the principle.
In the present case 1t will make small
difference frcm a legal standpoint whether
the slaughtered Italians were or were not
guilty of the murder of the Ssaloonkeeper,
for by the terms of our treaty with Italy
they should have had a fair trial before
the regular courts before being put to
death. 1t is Just such position as the
United States has taken in the case Of
Aguerra in Cuba, where the Spanish gov
ernment was obliged by our protest to
withdraw him from trial by court martial
and submit his case to the civil tribunals.
The unfortunate incident at Walsenburg
may seriously embarrass the State Depart
ment in its efforts to protect American citi-
zens in foreign countries.

CHINA AND OUR GOLD SUPPLY
Some Features Of the Peace Negotiations
Interesting to Financiers
If n Gold Indemnity is Demanded
There May BE n Drain ON Uncle
Sans supply.

Some people interested in the financial
situation in this country profess to see the
possibility of the United States treasury
being made an interested party in the prob
able peace settlement between China and
Japan this spring. The fear is expressed
that the treasury gold reserve Of this
country may be seriously invaded in the
payment of the Chinese peace indemnity.
Foreign dispatches intimate that in the
arrangement of peace negotiations Japan
will require a cash payment from her
vanqushed foe of a sum approximating
$500, 600 600. 1t has not yet been stated
whether Japan will call for silver or gold,
but the inference is thar the yellow metal
will be demanded, and In that event the
United States is likely to become interest
ed, 1t is said.
The presumption is that China will bor-
row from European governments the sum
necessary to meet the war indemnity, and
/. is thought she will have no serious difil-
Guilty in negotiating the loan. II, however,
the arrangement calls for gold, the draft
upon the market supply of that metal Will
be very heavy, causing the lending govern
ments to lock abroad for the wherewithaL
The ease with which the United States
treasury could be drained of half hum
dred millions of the precious money, as
demonstrated by recent experience. is ike
ly to present strong temptation, 1t IS
feared. Those who have given the matter
thought feel well assured that the tempta-
tion would prove too strong to be resisted,
and that the first move in the direction Of
negotiating the loan with China would be
a vigorous raid upon the gold reserve or
the United States treasury.
In the remote contir gency Of Japan ac-
cepting payment in silver, a contingency
which is said to be so vague as to be bare
possibility. the United States might be
benefited by a revival of the silver mining
industry. In that case it is thought the
free silver advocates in this country would
take encouragement for the rehabilitation
of silver a monetary factor and an i'm
petus would be given to the political efforts
now on foot n behalf of silver.
1t is for these reasons that the progress
of the negotiations for peace In the far
east are being watched with unusual in
terest in financial and political circles in
this country.

THE NEW SILVER PARTY.
Representative DOckery Thinks II
Will Not Gain Recruits in Missouri.

Representative DOckery Thinks 1t
Will Not Gain Recruits in Missouri.
Representative Dockery of Missouri will
leave for his home tonight to spend the in
terim between this time and the reassem-
bling Of Congress. AS Mr.. Dockery numbers
one of the small band of democratic Con-
gressmen who will return to the next House
he will be In position to enjoy his vacation
more thoroughly than some other Missouri
ans who have already gone home.
II do not think the new silver party will
gain many recruits in Missouri" said Mr..
Dockery to a Star reporter today in an
swer to a query. Missouri is. of course,
decidedly in favor Of silver, but think the
question will be fought out entirely within
the lines of the old parties. There will be
a man here and there going of at a tan-
gent from both parties, but 1 do not look
for any considerable sloughing off from
either.
II think the people of my state realize
that any attempt to organize third party
in the interest of silver will only operate
as a hindrance to the cause Of silver final
ly. There is growing sentiment in both
the old parties favorable to an enlarged
use of silv er in our monetary system, and
think that sentiment will express itself
very decidedly in the next national plat
forms Of the democratic and republican
parties"
Mr.. Dockery thinks that the tariff ques-
ton will be held in allegiance by both par
ties in Missouri for some time to come, as
there seems to be general willingness to let
the matter rest and give the new tariff a
fair trial.

STATE DEPARTMENT CLERKS.
What Chief Clerk Renicl< Has Done In
the Matter of Tardimess.


The alleged troubles at the State Depart
ment in the matter of salary deductions for
infractions of the rules governing the hours
of labor have been adjusted to the entire
satisfaction of all parties concerned. No
3eductions will be made or account of tar
diness. but the employees will be expected
to observe the usual rule In this respect.
Deductions or docking will be confined to
cases where clerks have been absent over
their regular thirty days leave without
permission. There Is, 1t Is claimed, no spe-
cial hardship in this. The same practice
prevails tn all the other executive depart
ments. Additional leave is granted in case
of sickness, and absence on that account
does not enter into the financial calcula-
tion, except specially provided by law.
The friends of Mr.. Renick, chief clerk of
the department, assert that he was mis-
represented in recent publications in re-
gard to this matter. According to them, he
has never undertaken an espionage over
the movements of the clerks. and has never
resorted to underhand methods of any kind
to insure the observance of the rules of the
department. He did not have the watch
men keep a record of the time of the arri-
val and departure of the employees, but he
did insist that such a record was neces-
sary for the proper administration of the
affairs of the department. The. keeping of
this record was left to the employees them
selves. Each one filled out time report
each day, and turned it ever to the chief
clerk at the end of the month. This state
ment was necessary for a proper under
standing of the status of the employees in
arranging for their annual leaves. 1t was
also said on behalf of Mr.. Renick that, al
though h may be a disciplinarian to the
extent of holding the employees to a proper
performance cf-their legitimate duties, he
does not feel that 1t is at all necessary to
resort to small and underhand methods to
secure that result,

Through it several regular lines of Amer

WRECK ON THE VANDALIA.
A Terrific Crash, but Fortunately
LOSS of Life.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March 15-The
vandalia west-bound passenger train No.

wrecked a. the east yards, near the fair
grounds, at l: 80 this morning.
The express and baggage cars were
crushed to splinters, but the passengers
miraculously escaped with slight bruises.
The train was ten minutes late and was
running at a high rate Of speed, when the
headlight threw its light into the yards
and 1t was found that switch engine and
two cabocses were standing on the main
track. Engineer Pat Daley reversed the
engine and applied the air brakes This,
no doubt, saved the lives Of many passen-
gers, but it did not prevent disastrous
wreck.
The train stopped so suddenly that the
passengers were thrown from their seats.
Then there was a rush from the cars.
Fully one hundred yards from where the
smash-up occurred were two engines-the
pony switch engine, reared high in the
air and leaning against the big Ben Mo-
gul. The cab and tender of the yard en-
gine were crushed fiat, and one Of the ca
booses was on the top of the entire heap.
No. Z was going at such high speed
that she seemed to pitch the smaller en-
gine clear off the track and carry 1t along.

cars, covered by trunks, twisted rods. BIZ
