ITALIANS ASK PROTECTION.
Race War Between LabOrers Threat
ened at Florence, Col.

ened at Florence, COI.
DENVER, Col, December 22.-Dr. Jo-
seph Cuneo, Italian consul here. made an
appeal to Governor Thomas for protection
of his countrymen involved In a threatened
race war at Florence. His request was that
pressure be brought on the Fremont county
authorities to exercise all precautions at
their command to prevent an outbreak, and
If necessary to call out the militia The
consul also wired the Italian ambassador at
Washington to appeal to President McKin-
ley for federal aid, should the state au-
thorites be unable to cope with the situ-
alton.
The threatened trouble is the result of
importation Of a number of Italians to
work in smelter for the treatment OF gold
ore. The Mill and Smeltermens Union have
objected, but no serious action has been
taken, though threats are said to have been
made. Edward Seed. an employe Of the
smelter, was killed yesterday, apparently
by accident, by one Of the Italians. This
incident has increased the bitter feeling and
a race war has been predicted.

LONDON, December ~. 1t now appears
that the British foreign cgice has not re-

the joint note has beer signed, but IN view
of the fact that it had received assurance
from ambassadors in London to the fact
that all ministers had ben instructed to
sign, the foreign Office accepted as correct
alleged ni-oficial- dispatches from Ber-

The foreign office declares 1t has every rea-
son to believe the signing Is accom-
