Wilhixoton, Dil., Much 17.?ExSecretary of State Bayard, when asked for his opinion of the killing ol lour subjects ol Italians it New Orleans on Saturday, said: "Taking the ground that there is no basis on which the Italian Government can claim Indemnity, the disturbance was pnrely local, and there was no affront offered to representatives of the Italian Government. Neither was there any discrimination between citizens of the United States and those of Italy. Bad as it was all were nsed alike." Wbensskedif the settlement ol the ease of the massacre of the twenty-eight Dhlnamen at Rock Spring*, September 1,1885, atlorded a precedent for claim for indemnity In this litter case, he laid: "No; I think sot. The cases sre lot similar. It is ?ery doubtful 11 the perpetrators of the WyoMlog outrage ivere American citizens. It occurred at i place and nuder circumstance* that nade it impossible to afford the Chinese protection from the lawless miners who issailed tbem. In the settlement of the 3hlnese case, the United Status Government agreed to pay the bill of $147,748.74 ivhlch the Chinese government reoiered, but It was especially stipulated ;bat the pay should not be understood ts an acknowledgment of official obllgaiion in tho matter. The money was paid ts a gratuity?not ?a under au obligation jf treaty or principle uf international aw, but solely aBentlmentof generosity >r pity to aid an innocent ana unfortunate body ol men." "The fact is," said Mr. Bayard, "these people are given the same protection hat is offered to American citizens. Pbe courts are open to tbem and judgment is impartial. Furthor than that he United States has no liability. These mtbreaks of violence are a part of the common risk to which all people are table, and wbich it id impossible :o prerent.

The Mafla warning re- ' ceived by Mr. Parkerson, leader of the L citizens' movement, does not make him t feel uneasy, although there may be some ' foundation for it. Mr. Parkenon treats the letter lightly, he knows that if a hair f of bis were touched It would reealt In a terrible punishment of the Italians and Sicilians. 1, The result of the events of Saturday ? is that the Provenzanos and Matrangas D are accusing each other of,being members of the Mafia, and from thia some important facts may become known. * That the Matrangas are prominent in o this society of assassins there seems, to j< be ao doubt, but in the Hennessey case o there was not sufficient evidence to im- o plicate Matraoga.

This result wan received with evident dissatisfaction ni by those who hail witched the proceed- ct inm froui day today, aud It was charged in publicly that some of the jurora and wit- tr noises had bsen bribed or otherwise la tampered with and influenced. bi A FUBTIIKR REVIEW. 1,1 "Pursuant to a call made by many citi- j" tens, published in the dally papers of n Saturday morning, a large number of persons assembled on Canal street and tt proceeded to the Pariah prison, an entrance was effected by the force of the <11 mob.

When that re- ' port is filed it will be acceptable to yon ? ami in preference to that, as well as all p matters requiring investigation by you, tl I shall give you such fuVther instructions from time to time as I may deem neces- \ sary." 8hortly after the Judge had concluded " his charge.

New Orleans, March 17.?Thia even3g Mr. George W. Vondevort, Hen* essey'a private secretary, made a statelent of the history of Hennessey's conection with the Italians. He begins 1th the Esposito case. A prifce waa set n the head of the bandit and Hennessey jined the chase. Esposito was captnred n the street. Hennessey kept hiin connaled until the New York ship was sady to leave, smuggled him on board nd then walked olf boldly into a crowd ( Italians who were watching on the harf. .Esposito waa taken to New York and taiiaus went on to swear that they had nown the man here for twenty years, ad he could not therofore be the bandit, 1 mong those witnesses were John Carso id Kocco Gerrati, who were killed last iturday, beside several Italians still ! mmJnonf h?r?. Th? identification of I eposito was complete, and he was taken i i Italy. The Italians were beat upon i iving the great bandit, and the Mali a i lief offered Hennessey $50,000 to swear sposito was not the man. The chief ifused and was a marked man. Hennessey did not confound the Mafia ' id the vendetta. The vendeita wan 1 te subject of private vengeance. The j [alia was organized for robbery* black- , tail, murder and revenge. Hennessey i uraued the Alalia. I In Hennessey's opinion the heads of te local Alalia were Tony Alatranga, \ w Caruaa, Frank Komero and Hucco ( erricci. Hennessey thought Joe Ala- , leca a member. Hennessey regarded iacheca as a bad man. Alacheca was ice Captain of the Innocents, a Sicilian t >litical body, charged with many dark itnes. Hennessey traced up Alaeheca's at, and when there came a break be- ] reen them the Chief unwisely blurted it what he knew, and threatened to i it Macheca in the State's prison. I That was one of the motives for Hen- < efsey's doom. Hennessoy traced out i te fact that the Alalia met in the Italian i larter. liomero was Alasterat-Arms ; id hung around the courts, kept track : "green" dagoes and picked out the ^ an for assassination. Gerracci waa j te bull dozer of the society, and Henjssey attributed two murders to that j oodthirsty Alaflan. 1 In the Pryenzao-AIatringo feud, Hen* :ssey waa friendly to the Prevenzanos, tnbidering them Americanized aud not i the Alalia. Bad blood arose and ouble was imminent. Hennessey sent i r both sides, told them no Alalia would < i allowed while ho was chief; that they J ustlivein peace; made them shake inds and take a drink, and they all i ft seemingly on good terms. One night I te Alatrengas were fired upon. Before morning Hennessey had all te Provenzano party in jail. Then the atrangos said they did not know who < id the shooting. In the evening, bow- 1 /er. the Alatrantcos held a conncil ' id decided to break the , mil vendetta custom and to , lint out the Proveniano as tboir as- i dlants. The Matrangas secured the . invlction of the I'rpvenianoB. The | jlice, however, swore that they bad , len Provemanos in a Royal street con- . irt saloon at the time of the Bbootiog. i He got a letter warning bim that be i ould be attacked either at the window , ! bis office or on his way home.
