‘THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTO)D April 1, 1291. STAR has the fullest Local Cireatation of any Newspaper in the Werld, vertising Medium ie worth he vther papers published in Italy hos recalled her representative to this eountry on the specitic ground of dissatisfac- tion with the progress of adjustments between the two countries touching “the New Orleans | She has severed diplomatic dence of the extent of this dissatisfaction. Tho reason assigned for the reeall forbids the presumption that it is Baron Fava and not the United States who is out of favor at Rome. Nor fe the situation made less serious by the absence of any of the technfeal formalities observed by nations when quarrel. The reenll and the asigned reason for the recall inevitably place the two nations im a hostile attitude. The situation must be equarcly faced, and there ix reasonably offered by any aspect of the affair to belittle its seriousness. The inflammatory appeals to Italy of Ita!tan- Amecican meetings, ‘listorting and exaggerat- ing the New Orleans affair. condemning in no respect the Mafia or the Hennesey rur- der, suppressing all suggestion of ex- euse for the massacre of the prisoners, and calling on a foreign government to resort to vigorous measures agains: the land of their adoption have combined with the taunts of the Crispi war party in Italy at the alleged wapa- | triotie inactivity of the Rudini peace party, now in power, to force the Itslian government intos hasty, foolish procedure. Political considerations have doubtless induced the adoption of a “jingo” policy by the Rudini government, but matters are not much improved by the facet that there is no other reason or excuse for the government's act, since the same influences which led to the adoption of this policy may be expected to cause it to be followed. ‘The American government now cccupies a very favorable position in the diplomatic con- troversy. It was impossible for the Secreta: of State todo more orto say more than Le bas done and said for the satisfaction of Italy. It is too soon to say that no reparation whatever can be obtained even from | Louisiana or New Orleans. But whatever may be the public conviction in regard to the prob- abilities of reparation from the city or state the hope of action suitable to the occasion on the part of the United States was far from exhausted. If Italy was not satisfied with the soothing assurances of the Sce- retary of State it would evidently be impossible to entisfy her by anything that the general government could promise under the Constitation. The present unfriendly relations of Italy and the United States will prob=biy not resnit in war. bnttheevent will surely result in the strengthen: | ing of our coast defenses and navy. aad inlawsse- | verely restricting immigration. Either we must meddie in Furopean polities, and constantly have our allies among the Enropean powers, or else we must be in position to defend or at- | tack in reliance upon our own resources. We | cannot afford to be helpless when sbjected to discourtesy and menace. at the whim or in the political exigencies of a European cabinet. | Nor can we afford to offer refuge to the thieves and assassins of Enrope, and then be helt rigorously accountable for | happens to them at the hands of mobs or | iduals in American cities of refuge. The | Constitution will not be amended to furnish national protection to mch men. They will be shut out from our shores. _o Soo | Comm. impressions of the snperiority of | the Italian and the inferiority of the United | States nary in the light of the diplomatic difti- | culties between the two conntries may well be | erroneous. Italy bas 21 armored and 51 un-! armored vessels, nearly all of both classes new and built on improved plans. These floating fortresses draw from 27 to 32 feet, and, whiie ‘well suited to the deep water of the Mediter- ranean porte, would hardly be abie to approach the dangerous shallow Amer- | jeam coast, especially in rough weather. ‘The two largest of these veesels carry 1,650 tons of coal. The armament of the Italian ships is admittedly formidable—the Italia « Leponto, the largest of the monsters, carrying four Armstrong 100-ton breech-loading gans, | protected by nineteen inches of compovnd armor, in addition to a namber of smailer guns. Only the greater of these vessels | have, it is believed, sufficient coal endur- ance im the opinion of our navai officers. | Turning now to the American navy greater im- provement and far greater etticiency is dis covered than was supposed. From authorita- tive data just obtained it is seen that progress in the vesvels of the first-class las been great Especially in the matter of speed our vemels have the ability to outmaneuver the most formidable war vessels of Europe, and to fight them at any range desired. The Baltimore in along cruise bas acquitted herself well, attain- ing a mean speed in one voyage of 17 knots. ‘The Newark and other vessels have recently | been inspected by a British marine constructor of eminence who has pronounced the American warships inspected as quite equal to the dest British. It is significant that the coast line battle ships are regarded as the most im- portant vessels in the new service. These are three in number. Their speed is good and their coal supply not large. as they are near their base of operations. Here is a distinctive advantage of our navy over any hostile navy whatever. The cruiser No. 12, now building, in the opinion of Secretary Tracy is absolutel: without parallel among the war ships of the world. Ske combines suficient armament with complete protection against light guns, witha sen sp.ed anda coal endurance hitherto unknown. | Another point that is commoniy overlooked ws the torpedo defense of our harbors. The tor- pedo system is carried by the United States to = high degree of perfection and every port ix | thus adequately protected. While there is little danger of war with Italy it would appear that the republic 1» much better prepared for war if it comes than out own people have a1p- posed. ——_++= -___. _ Grand juries can vindicate publie rights in New York after all. and great railway corpera- tions can be brought to accountability in the metropolis. The indictment of the New Haven Failroad directors for causing the loss of lite by the tunnel accident, some weeks ago, gives hope for greater care in the future and adds to the sense of security of those who travel. One of the grounds of responsibility is the con- tinued use of the car stove after its danger had been amply demonstrated and after the law had declared against it. —+ Senator Kerna has such a pleasant healthful home on Capitol Hill that he does not care to move down in the maiarial neighborhood of the Potomac Flats, at least not before 1896 or 1:00, when the Plats will be a fine park wlong the Fiver front. += While the Lite Ear!
