state department at an early hour ard
made representations TO the officials
concerning the atrocity in Louisiana.
IN order TO get full information as
hasis for action by this government.
Secretary Hay thcrcupo telegraphed
the governor of Louisiana. requesting
NIL the facts In the case. Count Ninchi's
action WIS predseated on reports from
H." Italian consular officials In louis
lana. and by the press reports. There
~ rrasun 60 believe also that the Iial.
ian foreign Office is already fully IN.
formed on the occurrence. II is prob.
able. however, that the representations
thus far made are only preliminary,
with a view to calling attention TO the
facts reported, and pave the way 20
any protest or demand of rcIaIHtion
which may follow. The affair II eonsid-
erred In ofiirial Italian quarters ~
