WALSENDUHG Colo. , March 13.-Tho
United states may have an InternationaL
complcaUon on Its hands as the result of ;
the mob violence here last night , In which
five Ialans , who are believed to have been
unnaturalzed , were killed. After the at-
tack on the wagon party earlY last evening.
, _ as . described In the Associated press dig-
patches last night all was comparatIvely
Culet until soon after inldn Ight. About that
time seven or eight men wearing masks
mocked } at the door ot the jai where
Lorenzo Danlno , who was chargell by the
other Italians with having struck the blows
that klell Hixon on Sunday and the Italian
wouUded In the wagon attack , were confined.
In answer to a question , the men said
,
' . O'Malloy , the sheriff , wanted to enter. As
soon as the doer was opened the guards found
guns In their faecs. Part of the masked
men then went to the cell where the two
Italians wore confined and fred eight or ten
shots. I'ach prisoner received four or five
bullets. One died instantly , but the other
lived a short time In great agony The list
of dead Is :

The other five suspects had been released
from custody before the mob aroso. Some
fears were entertained at House last night
that the Italians , who outnumber the Americans -
cans and other nationalities , might rise up
- . - and attack their neighbors In revenge. NothIng -
Ing of the sort happened , nor Is It much
antIcipated , but the feeling Is very Intense
The bodIes , of the three missing Italians
have been found at some distance from town
I Is therefore certain that the five men
held for the murder of Hixon have all been
asassinated , _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Though the mob comlencell its work last
evening when the sun had been set but a
lto while , It was : not until this moring
that they completed their work ot revenge ,
after having killed ! three ot the suspected
homicides and brought death to the young
wagon driver , who hall nothing to do with
the killing or Ilixon. When ( the ( three Ital-
inns captured from the wagon at Dear creek
bridge , where ' 'elsby was lihleil ( , had been
made away with , the small but determined
mob waited ! for the excitement to snbslde
all then came to the county Jai hero , and a
few minutes before 1 o'clocl this morning
completed the work of revenge on which
they had conlnelced six hours berore. Hon-
cheto , who had been wOIIlel In the breast I
.t the hear creek trouble ' , was asleep In the
callbooso with Loreuzo. The gUns who
were pl\cell In the jai , Wiiam Smih and
Henry F'arr , were playIng high five when a
rap came ut thl outer door of the jail . They
asked who was there , and were toll that It
was SherIff O' . ' ¼ luley , Without a moment's
hesitation they unbarred the entrance , and
Instead or seeing O'Mahley they looked lawn

complete , and everyone was sure the three
Italians captured at the bridge had long
since mct death.
CAPTAIN Ol TiE TRIO .
The first del ) of the avengers was not so I
horrible but they knew what they were
ahout. At G o'cloelc Honchete , Garavilo ,
Vatarl and Zapeto were loadej In a wagon
at ltouso . six miles from \\'alseii'uurg . where
they had beii to testify at the Ixon InQue t ,
and were started for the jai here. The pris-
oners were In charge of Under Sheri Earl
Danforl and Charles Harriman , assistant
town marshal at this place. Harriman was
mounted on I horse and rode a few 11acs
behind the wagon as a rear guard. Danonl
Sat on the drlver'/ seat beside young Joe I
\Velsby . who handled the horses Five ,
lnles of driving brought the wagon to the '
bridge over Dear creek which lies at the
bottom of the his , Harriman heard horse-
men cantering up behind him , and as they
drew near turnd his head to see who was
comln . ny this time a masked man was at
his either aide , and though It was almost
pichy black ho could sea that when they
told him to dl-lount they had something
very persuaslvo poked Into his face Ho
jumpEd front his horse and \\as told to get
out He did not develop sutclent speed as a
sprinter but some shots fred Into the earth
at his heels made him set out at I goo
rate for town , and he did not stop
Meanwhile some others of the masked men ,
of whom there were six or elgh rode up be-
side the wagon and commanded It to stop.
They were obeyed , and t'len told the four
prIsoners to Jump out. and began firing their
pistols. The shooting frightened the horses
and they started or Welby meanwhlo had
jumped to the round. and was tugging at
the reins Danord also got or and went
to the side of the ( road , more shots being
fred In a moment and 'Velsby fell to the
ground dead , with two bullet holes through
his body. one In the neck and one through
the chest Ronehetto received a Slg'lt flesh
wound In the breast. His death was not to bc
so soon , nor so easy.
Danrord and Harriman soon arrived here
and the sheriff and other officers started to
L'le ' sccno They came upon Weisby's deal
body and also found 'oncheto crouching by
the roadside. He was again taken Into cus-
tody. and when lie ! hal recovered himself
said the horsemen had taken his comrades
comrales
to a neighboring feld , Diligent search
failed to find them , however. and though
many searchers have been out all day
no trace ot the bodies of Zapeto
and Gacavlno has been found. Vit-
tarl's corpse was round at 2
o'cloclt this aUernoon on the bank of float
creek , ono-rourth or a mile east ot where
the wagon was attacked. I was riddid with
bullets.
coroner's jury this morning investigated
the killing of Welsby and rendered a verdict
that he met hIs death at the hands of per-
sons unlown. An Inquest over Lorenzo
and Roncheto Is now In progress and the
'
testimony thns far adduced warrants the
belief In a sImilar finding In their case 'Ie
trouble Is believed to bo over and excite
ascot Is fast subsiding except among the
Italian minors of whom there Is about 100
In the distrIct , who are congregating , terror-
stricken at Drunnohi's saloon.
The Italian consul nt New York wIred Joe
Moran this morning Inquiring Into the bill- 1
Ing. but It 1 now doubtful whether compl-
catons with Italy wIll arise , since three and
possibly tour of the deal men have renounced
their allegiance. No satisfactory motve for
the wholesale Idling can be learned . except
It bo that the Italian Is lways hated In
western Colorado and metalferous minIng
districts generally , added to the ill feeling
they Incurred during the strIke a year ago
)
by killing a very popular man without ap-
11aent reason or cause
ALL IS QUIET NOW.
Never before In the history of 'Walsenburg I
has there been such Intense excitement as
commenced last night and Is gradually dying
out Tonight every one Is confident that
the trouble Is over and that thIs peaceful
town wl resume the dven tenor of its way
and be allowed to drop from the unenviable
newspaper notoriety whIch this last occur-
renco has gained for I. Though there was
moro hurry-slurry' ) ' during the exciting times
ot the ( strike . there never was the same sup-
pressed feeling al has exlstell today. Last
night the people thought the road to Rouse
was one that would bring sure death , and
e\'en the most hardy men declined to venture -
ture out , Today the Quaint wooden bridge
where several lives were lost Is curiously ex-
ambied The locally Is a peculiarly favorable i
one for such an attack as was made there :
last night. The creek itself amounts to but I
little , hut the road slopes down to I for
a third or a mile on either side , so that when
picking the point for attack the men Imew
that the s0111 of their guns would not reach
this llace , though It Is but a short distance
away .
)
The little adobe , red Stuccoed jai , only half
a block train the depot , presents a gruesome
sight. I Is but one story In height and has
lost its ellldormls In muny places. The door
races Lie ( business porton of the ( city. and
through tIm heavy panels five bullet holes ,
male by Smith and I.'arr's firearms , sug-
goat a struggle within . A pep through one
of the small wlmowl on the lonth side of the
jai tells the tale. Sticking out from beneath
two coarse gray blankets two pairs of [ coarsely
shied \ fet were to bo seen , and here and
thc.ro a tiny rivulet ot bled , which ran from
thin bodies The killing occurred In an outer
room , where the cage Is located. Entering
the door a glimpse of the faces was sum-
clent. Abject terr6r was shown In every
Ineume at.
All day long In the main court room at
the county building the coroner's Jury held
its Inquest. The ) " first looked Into the death
ot Welhy , reaching the ( verdict stated , and
then investigated the killing or the two men
at the jai this morning , anti found that they
were killed by persons unknown.
I I believed to be very unlikely that the (
men who did lie ( killing will ever be defi-
niely known , except among themselves The
opinion prevails , however , that the mob ot
six or eight men were Rouse miners and
personal friends of Ixon , men or perhaps
seine 11romlnence In the ( community.
hlixon's funeral took place this morning
and just about the time lila coOn was
lowered Into the grave the ( body or the ( fourth
man who met his death was found

NEW ORLEANS , March 13.-The agents
ot the foreIgn steamship companIes held a
meeting at the ( office of Alfred I.eblane , agent
of the Harrison line , whoso wharf was the
scene ol TUE-day's riot The proceedings Jt
the meting were carefully guarded , and all
ot the lents who took part refused to state
what had taken place or to discuss the situ-
aton , Numbers of negro screwmen were
gathered about the Cotton exchange during
the day and It was understood that the
steamship agents were arranging with their
stevedores to put ( Item to work as soon as
the ( requisIte police or miiary protection Is
assured them. This evening It Is positively

nothing was to be seen this morning but
sqtiatls of policemen discussing the
s'uals polcemen affair of
yesterday and its probable outcome The
police did not wait until actual shootIng

yesterday was never to be forgotten . Word
was sent to all precinct comllnders last
night to have their forces on the river front
at daylight this morning Consequently te
police were on hand In large "llh ) ' rs to i
11re\'ent a repetition of yesterday's bloody I ,
affair. . There was a heavy fog hanging oVer
the river all morning and the police , . ire

pa'i out simple reason that not a

t very colored man , whose business calls
him to the river front , took a day off today
and very senslhly kept at home. The various
agents " . who have up to yesterday been
working negro scrowJen , told their ( men
to remain away until they were sent for.
At a meeting of the agents held last night
they decided that ( In view or the present un.
settled state of affairs I would be bad policy
to aten1t to work their colored laborers
They realize that the white screWmen have
been worked up to a hitch of fury and thaI
It an attempt was male to work today more
blood would be spilled . All ships that are
being loaded b ) agents employing colored
laborer are undisturbed today. There are ,
however , a dozen or more ships receivIng
their cargoes , but they are handled by white
men und are not being bothered at alt .
I"rom present appearances all trouble on the (
levee Is over , end unless something unusual
happens there will be no repetition or yes-
terday's rioting .
Governor Foster was up bright and early
this morning. notwithstanding the fact that
It was very late when he retired . lIe remained -
malnod at his hotel until about 9 o'clock ,
first having received information or how
affairs on the river were lie received a
number of ship agents and reasserted lila
statements of last evening that he would
maintain peace and quiet at all hazards , lie ,
however advised the agents not to attempt
to work their colored ( labor today , believing
that I the ( negroes kept off the scene for
twenty , four hours the fighting spirit at the (
whites would die off . ,
The gOVernor also received information that

the ( military were , many or them , at their armories -

notice. Governor Peter said early this
morning that ho did not antclpto any more

The rumor of this morning had It that the

WAShINGTON , Mardi 13-Senor Iuraga , I
the Silanish minister , visited the ( State lie-
partment tola ) ' for the IIIfJOse ) of presenting
the position of Spain from the information
now nt hand on the fring ot the Spanish
gunboat on the \merlcan mal Steumer A1.
anca , The minister telegraphed for full par-
tculars to the go'eror general of Cuba , and i
In relll recelvel a Ilspatch ( that the cruiser '
which 11resumablr fguel In the ( affair had
not yet returned , having prolonged her watch .
along the ( Cuban coast. The governor Ien.
oral hal no partculars of the Incident. DustIer
these circumstances Senor Murnga feels that
only one silo of lie story has yet been toltl.
Dut should I allpell' that there has been
any offense or Inliscreton on lie part or the
SI1lnlsh warship , Senor Muraga says that
SpaIn wil speedily make every apology con-
sistent with the friendship she bears to thc
wih frlendsh\l
United States Taking the version of the
affair as given by Captain Crossman of lie
Alianca , llnlster Murazo says I Is apparent
the American ship was In the jurisdictional
waters of Cuba anti not ou the ( high seas
I Is evident the minister says , from the (
firing of the blank shot It was In order that
she might be aMlel as to whether Insurgent
goods were on board.
The letter or Calltaln Crossman was to-
calved at the State department In the sifter-
noon ninil. I hind ' already been publshed In
ful 1) ' the Assoclutel press anti so had come
to hue notice or the department nnofclaly
before its receipt by mail . Secretary Uhl
line alreuly formed his own conclusions ns
to the course to bo bittrstietl. After looldng
over the loteI carefully , he wrote Captain
Crossman , asking for more particulars hearIng -
Ing upon the incident. Until these are fur-
nlshe(1 ( It Is not probable the complaint wi
bo formally brought to the attention of the
Spanish government. The point upon whlcn
the State department desires further In-
formaton from Captain Crossman Is the
exact location of the A1anca when she was
first slgnalcd by the Spanish cruiser and It
Is possible that the whole case may turn on
thIs point Accorlng to Captain Crossman's
own story he hal been In the habit of tak-
Ing his ship on a cruise that brought I
wIthin a mie ot Cape Jaysl , the easter
extremity or the Island of Cuba lie Is reported -
ported to have sall on thIs occasion hearing
at Colon that there was tlublo at Cuba he
kept off the land , so ho was six miles off
the cape when the Incident occurred. From
this statement It appears the captain was
aware Spanish crisers were patrolling the
coast In search of flbusterers , and that a
rebellion was In progress but I Is not clear
that he was outside of lie ( Spalsh marine
jurisdiction , considering the fact here arc
outlying keys or Islands belonging to the
same naton , That these may be regarded
In establishing the boundary ot the marine
jurisdiction Is shown by the act of our gOY-
ernment In laying out the sixty mile cxcu-
slvo line around the lrlbylof Islands last
year.
There Is another , but minor , point , , upon
whIch further information will be ' demanded ,
and/that / Is whether the shlp's officers can bo
aura that the shots fred by the Spaniards
were directed at lie A1anca , or across her
bows
