Washington, Aug. 12.—The attention of the Italian ambassador, Baron Fava, who is now at Bar Harbor, has been called to the lynching of three Italians at Hahnville, La., last Saturday night, and in turn he has applied to the state department for information upon the subject. His telegram has been forwarded through the department to the governor of Louisiana, thus following the same procedure as was observed upon the occasion of the lynching of members of the Mafia in New Orleans several years ago. It is presumed that the governor will call upon the district attorney for a report for the information of the department of state and thus initiate another international incident and pave the way for the payment of an indemnity.
