ANINTERNATIONAL AFFAIR
ITALY TAKES UP THE CASE OF ALLEGED
LYNCHINGS IN MISSISSIPPI.

Washington. July 1.-THE Italian Government
has taken cognizance OF a recent ARRAY at
ERWIN Miss In which il is alleged that two
Italians were lynched and third was seriously
wounded The facts have been communicated
10 the Foreign Office at Rome. and the Italian
Embassy here has made representations 10 the
state Department The Italian authorities are
also making an investigation OF their own
through their consul at New-Orleans and their
consular agent at vicksburg. Miss. which Is not
far from the scene of the trouble
Thus far the reports received from these on
cials establish two essential points in what is
considered a rather serious condition of affairs.
First, II Is reported positively that the Italians
were killed by lynching and not by any accident
or in a chance ARRAY. Second the Italian
authorities nearest the scene OF the trouble
have established TO their satisfaction that the
persons killed Italian subjects in the full
sense OF the term. not having taken out natural
ization papers. Thus far the case is in state OF
inquiry, both the part of the State Depart
ment and the Italian authorities but there Is
every indication that the facts will constitute an
international incident similar TO that with Italy
growing out OF the killing Of Italians in Louis
lana.
The first report of the trouble at Erwin came
in a brief press dispatch four or five days ago.
Al tnat time the Italian Embassy knew nothing
OF the aHalr- The next day another unofficial
dispatch cast doubt the report and indicated
tnat there had been no such killing In the
mean time, however. the Italian consular officers
at New-OrleanS and Vicksburg made telegraphic
reports and these have been followed by several
additional reports as fast as facts could be
ascertained The Italian Charge d'Affaires Mr.
Carignani. took prompt action in advising his
government and in laying the matter before the
State Department The Department has given
all possible assistance. although the difficulties
OF Federal action in an affair coming within the
Jurisdiction of State have again been disclosed
