ITALY'S THREAT.

IB Not Likely to Cause Blaine to Hurry Matters.

HIS REPLY TO BE SENT WHEN READY.

The Recent Ruuion of Rudlul'a InteuMon, However, Lack Official Corroboration—Pollts's Confession Vi

Made Public.

AWAITING BLAINE'S ANSWER. ROME, April 13.—The principal topic of conversation in political and official circles has been the report putU circulation Friday evening to the effect that unless the American government made a speedy reply to Premier Rudlni's last note Minister Porter would be politely requested to leave Rome And the Italian legation would be recalled from Washington. General In-terest-in the New-Orleans affair had subtided, and everybody supposed that the Incident would be settled through the usual diplomatic channels without further Irritation or friction. The report, therefore, came with startling suddenness. Such an attitude on the part of the Italian government seemed so unreasonable, in view of all the recent developments, that the report was at first generally dlsoredited. Many of the newspapers, however, gave it conspicuous prominence in their columns, and asserted their belief that it was substantially correct They say that America is to be allowed until Tuesday, April 14, to reply to the last Italian note. The original report had fixed Saturday as the limit. If by Tuesday no reply is forthcoming from Secretary Blaine then, the papers declare, diplomatic communication between the two countries Is to be wholly suspended.

WASHINGTON*, April 13.—The latest news from Italy does not indicate war, And it is not likely that President Harrison's swing around the circle will be interfered with by the idiosyncracies of the Italian premier. There are no signs of excitement in the state department and it is now generally believed the report from Rome is more or less of a canard, though perhaps set in circulation for a purpose. If the alleged threat was made public by one of Rudinl's friends, as to-night's cable dispatches indicate, the Italian premier may have been preparing the way for olaimlng, when Mr. Maine's reply was reoeived, that the American government had been moved to action by Italy's bold front.

Previous to the latest threat from Rome the intention was to have Secretary Blaine's reply to Marquis Rudlni ready before the president started on his western trip. That the reply has not yet been sent may be stated with a degree of positiveness that amounts to a ccrtainty. The draft of it may be finished to-duy and possibly transmitted in the forepart of the week. That is, provided all the data which Secretary Blaine has been seeking is at hand. If it isn't Marquis Rudini may have to wait a few days longer. Secretary Blaine's reply will be too comprehensive to be hurried. It will oover the whole question of Italian immigration, the character of the subjects of King Humbert who were lynched at New Orleans, other classes of criminals, and the disposition Italy has shown to protect its fugitives from justice who have fled to the United States. There will be enough in the reply to require some time for the Budini ministry to digest. In the meantime the grand jury at New Orleans will have time to pursue its investigations.

NEW YORK, April 13.—Baron Fava sailed for Europe Saturday on the La Gascogne. lie denied himself to all reporters and did not' show himself on deck when the steamer left.

I'OLITZ'8 CONFESSION MADE PUBLIC. NEW ORI.KANS, April 13.—The grand jury in its forthcoming report upon the Hennessy murder, the subsequent miscarriage of justice and the wreaking of popular vengeance upon the Italian BUBpects in the parish prison will for the first time probably give to the public the confession of Manuel Polity, one of the lynched prisoners. Early in the case he evidently made up his mind to turn traitor to his comrades and earn some olemency by betraying them. He held aloof from them in prison and in court, brooded much in solitude, and soon after the trial began clamored wildly for the privilege of unbosoming himself of the secret which weighed upon him. The statement he made never reached the jury. The state claimed that while Politz incriminated others be protested his own innocence, and, besides, there were contradictions in his confession which would destroy its value. There was strong evidence against Politz and it was preferred to hold him prisoner. Polity's confession was made to the district attorney. About the same story was told to his own attorney and portions of it were told at various times to those who came in contact with him. Said he: ••I hat. Joined a certain society of my countrymen, the president of which was Charles Mtttranca. This Hoclety, I supposed, wus formed for the benelli of my countrymen. Macheca, Matrangaand others wore prominent memoers. On a Saturday night I was at a meeting of the society at which Matranga, Macheca and others wore present. It was stated that the purpose of tho meeting was to decide who wore to kill Chief Hennessy. The names of the members were placed In a box by numbers and ten were drawn therefrom. These ten men were notified to meet and arrango the manner and means of carrying out the work allotted to them. The men met in a room over a place owned by Duffee. The money was I then distributed among six mon, each one receiving about 1300. 1 was asked to carry a sack of guns from the meeting room to the house of the shoemaker, Monastcrlo, on Glrod, near Basin. I refused to do BO. not knowing at the time why the guns were to be taken there, tf atranga was thore and said he would carry the saok. Two later moetlnga were held near the Paydras market. I am not sure whether the money was distributed at these meetings or at Dunce's. •The plan agreed upon wus that on the night ef Ootober IB everyono was to meet at Mot asterlo's plaoe. Marchosl's boy was Instructed to be on the lookout and watch the approach of

Chief Hennessy. He was to wait on Rampart mut, when he made sure tbftt thi ohlw

was coming he was to pass Hennessy and run rapidly out Glrod streot, and when opposite Monastery's was to (Ire the peculiar Italian whistle. When the whistle was given by the boy on the night of the 16th of Ootober, Monasterlo opened the door »nd said to the others: -The ohlef! the chief.' The rest then stepped out othrough the side door of Uonasterlo's shanty and through the large gate Into the street. Immediately opening Are on the man on the opposite side, who was quietly walking along. Scaftedl, Marchcsi, Bagnetto and Monasterlo killed the chief. I was not thero, and did not know anything about the killing until the following Sunday morning. I heard of Hennessy's [shooting for the first time on that Sunday morning when my landlord, John, was reading the paper."

In answer to a question how he could know any of these things if he was not present lie replied that. Monasterlo told him all about it. "I took no part in the shooting," he said, "and did not knowthat there was any intention on the part of anybody to kill Mr. Hennessy. On Sunday morning I arose and did not go any place in particular, remaining around the house all day. I could not work because I had a sore arm. I am innocent and my conscience is as white as the wall."

About the time of Mr. Theard's appointment as counsel the great change in Politz had commenced, and he was suspicious of everybody and particularly of the defendants and their counsel, who had laughed at his confession. Polltz's actions resulted in Mr. Theard's withdrawal and the appointment of John Flynn, a young criminal lawyer. Through Mr. Flynn it was arranged that Politz should make his statement in court. When the time for the statement arrived Politz appeared calm enough. Suddenly a look of intense terror overspread his features, then came a cry. The only words Politz spoke were in Italian: "Scaffedi killed the chief." Then the luckless Sicilian fell face forward upon the floor. Politz was never again in condition to testify.

CHICAGO, April 13.—One of the fiercest and most disastrous fires tho Chicago department has fought in many years swept through West Madison street Sunday afternoon. The big Smyth building that extends from Union half way to Ilalsted street was destroyed, and with it the contents of John M. Smyth's furniture house, the largest retail establishment in the world. All that is left of Kohl »fc Middleton's west side dime museum is a heap of bricks and charred timber. On the north side of Madison street from Union street to the Haymarket theater block five buildings were destroyed. Three of them tumbled down before the maelstrom of fire, and at one time the roof and a portion of the front of the theater building was burning so fiercely that everybody thought it would share the fate of its neighbors, but the firemen managed to save the structure, but in a seriously damaged condition. The total loss is estimated at 8802,200. John M. Smyth & Co. alone will lose 8000,000. The fire originated in the wagon shed of John M. Smyth & Co., directly in tho rear of the museum.

4

o'clock the fire

started, and from the first it was stubborn, almost resistless. Kohl & Middleton's museum, on the second floor, was filled with the usual crowd of Sunday visitors. They were scattered through the curio hall and the galleries, and a big audience was in

011c

of

the theaters watching a stage performance. The first intimation of danger came whon every window cracked and shattered and flames leaped into the rooms. Where the fire came from no one seemed to know. There were shrieks and cries, people pushed over each other and ran panic-stricken down the stairway and into the street. Before they readied the street with the first alarm a curling cloud of black smoke was rising from the rear of the building.

In the museum were specialty performers, attaches aud "freaks," who did not rush out when the visitors beat their hasty retreat. Some wore tlieir stage costumes and were hurriedly endeavoring to collect wardrobes and valuables. Wltliln a brief minute they, too, were forced to leave, many without saving anything except the stage clothes they were wearing. The fat woman, the bigheaded boy, the gypsies and the albino rushed into the street. Two or three policemen and several pedestrians who had gone into tho museum at the first alarm attempted to save some of the property, but were driven back by blinding smoke through which they could seo growing flames. Oillcer Shehey succeeded in breaking open the cage which held the monkeys. The frightened and chattering animals clambered out and several escaped, one down the fire escape. Another jumped to the pavement'and had his leg broken.

When the fire department threw tlia first stream the Smyth building was entirely in flames. The great building burned as though it was stored with naphtha and tinder. A mass of blaze swept through the front and ilung itsolf half way across the street. Then it curled up and mado the front a wall of roaring flames. Firemen retreated before the attack, and from a safe distance, their rubber coats steaming and scorching, they sent a few puuny splashes into the fire. Almost at the same time the buildings across the way were ignited and each side of the street became ablaze.

From Union street to the Haymarket theater a row of business houses faced the terrific onslaught of firebrands from the burning Smyth block. They did not withstand it long. Each one was afire within fifteen minutes after the first alarm, and the corner of the Haymarket theater building was smoking, with tongues of flame in a dozen different places. A determined and successful effort to save the theater was made, but the row of buildings between it and Union street was doomed from the first.

All later efforts of the firemen were directed to checking the spread of the flames. These efforts were successful. At 8 o'clock last evening the two sides of West Madison street were tumbled and smoking ruins. A pall of heavy smoke rested over the city for miles in every direction. At the scene of the fire liosemen climbed over heaps of debris and sent streams of water tearing into the smoldering beds of flame. The fire had been short but decisive.

The upper story of the three-story building on the northwest corner of Madison and Union streets caught fire at 4:45 clock. A few minutes after the flames lodged around the windows of the fifth story of the Haymarket theater building and were soon raging under the mansard roof. Just west of the Haymarket was tho five-story building occupied by the People's Outfitting Company. Here also the windows were on fire, but no great damage was done.

The losses are distributed about as follows: John M. Smyth, 160 to 168 Madison street, building and stock of furniture, 1000.000 Kohl & Mlddleton, IM Mndison street, M0,000 Neely Bros., boots and shoes, 15-2 Madison street, 130,000 Adalbert Kaempfer, jowclry, 150 Madison street, Hfi.000: Alfred l'cats. wall paper and furniture, 155 Madison street, (35.000 P. & J.

Irrman, the cigar dealer, carried no insurance whatever, having allowed their policies to expire without renewal, as they had intended moving into new buildings soon.

Alexander Grant, an employe in the museum, was seriously injured while making his escape from a third-story window, lie crawled out 011 a sign and attempted to swing down by means of a wire. The wire broke under hiw weight, however, and lie fell to the pavement, a distance of 50 feet, breaking his leg ami frightfully bruising his head and shoulders. His injuries, however, arc considered not necessarily fatal. About fifty persons, including two policeincu, stood watching the flames from the corner of Union and Meridian streets. The officers were keeping the crowd back, and as it was pushing and swaying the wooden walk gave way and they fell about 10 feet. Mrs. Bessie IIiggins was probably fatally injured by the fall and was taken to her home, 108 Washington street. Bernard Stotli had a leg broken at the same time and was removed to the Emergency hospital. After the firemen had got the flames under control anil were playing upon the west end of the Smyth building Francis Gamble, Hged about 10 years, accompanied by Gus Ilanshaw, who was a trifle older, went around behind the building and into a shed used as a storehouse. The fire had left the place in a dangerous condition and as they were looking up at the lofty rear wall of the burned building Ilanshaw noticcd that the only thing that held up the roof of the shed was a beam partly burned through. He shouted a warning and started buck just as the roof came down with a crash, burying young

Gnmble in the ruins. Gamble was quickly dug out and taken to the office of l)r. Mac Kay, 101 South Ilalsted street, where it was found that his injuries were probably fatal. His hips and leftleg were broken. It was thought also that liis skull was fractured. A patrol wagon was sum moned and he was taken to the county hospital, where he died at midnight.

NOT ENOUGH IIEAKSKS.

NEW YORK, April 13.—There were a remarkable number of funerals Simday. From early in the day until late in the afternoon the thoroughfares leading to the Long Island ferries were crowded with hearses aud funeral parties. At a low estimate 500 corpses were taken across the river for interment. The road from Long Island City to Calvary cemetery was black with funeral corteges. The number of funerals in Brooklyn were far beyond the usual Sunday average, anil there. was a greater demand for hearses than could be supplied. Few could be scoured from this city owing to the demand here from the same causes, and those owned in the Long Island towns were sent for. The streets of Brooklyn were filled with processions passing to the various cemeteries, and so many coaches were hired that in some eases the prices were increased. Extra forces of men were employed at grave digging in the cemeteries on Saturday in spite of the storm, and many bodies had to be placcd in the receiving vaults on account of the laok of time to make graves ready.

The number of deaths last week in Brooklyn was 030 aud the largest number in one day was 114 on Friday. Tho number of deaths last week which was 138 more than in the week before, was the largest ever known in Brooklyu. While only 10 were directly attributed to the grip, there were 103 from pneumonia, 00 from bronchitis, IS from consumption, IB from diphtheria, in all of which the grip might have been secondary cause and in many of which it hastened a fatal ending. I11 one week of LSUO, when the grip was at its height, the number of deaths was 124, and this had not been exceeded even in heated terms in summer when infant, mortality is greatest.
