XO ATIENTION PAID TO WARNINGS. Commenting upon the recommendations report for coast defenses, a naval officer of high — said that this same story had been told in any number of previons re- ports, but no attention had ever been paid to it until an emergency arose. No vessel or squadron ever cares to enter a river or bay to attack a city, unless success or a free retreat is absolutely sure.

The statement has been made_ that the Ital- ians would find considerable difficulty in get~ ting their navy over to this. country,but thisidea does not méct with general credence at the Navy Department. ORN. KELTON's ViEWs. Gen. Kelton, the adjutant general of the U.8 army, sconted the idea of war ensuing from yes- terday’s events. Tt was hard to imagine any reason for war, or suy subsiantial result to ac- crue to either party from it. Certainly the United States would not send over to at- tack Italy and Italy could not land an army in the United States. The distance between the two countries presented an almost unsur- mountable obstacle. Even the Italian naval vessels could not probable operate so far froma base of supply of fuel and stores. He did not hesitate to say that New York city would bo tafe in any event. Even though the projected fortifications were not yet in existence and the modern guns were lacking he had faith in the ability of our people to. offer an effective resistance to a hostile naval force. We — were an in Yentive energetic race and could be depended on to meet any emergency. A hostile fleet could not lie within twenty miles of New York. There would be no lack of men forthcoming, who, like, Cushing wenld be — will: ing’ and’ ready to blow up with their own torpedoes if they could have a small chance of destroving the foe. As for the land. forces of the United States, the general was confident that they could be depended on to revent any hostile army naval force ‘rom vetting foot on American soil. THE ITALIAN LEGATION, Its Standing and Smpression in a Social Sense Not Deep. The Italian legation, in » social way, does not seem to have made much impression, and the fact of ita absence or presence will not be se onsly felt in this direction. Baron Fa’ the recall of Minister Preston of Hay son of his longest consecutive service, has ranked as dean of the diplomatic corps and his office gave him precedence upon all oc- casions where the corps figured. He has neturally a wide acquaintance in the resident world of society, but of late years has not been as punctilious in eocial affairs an was his wont some years ago. Baroness Fava has not been here for any great length of time for three or four years, and it has been well under- stood among Baron Fava's friends that as he bas been looking forward to his recall from thia post she would scarcely come again. When she was here their honse- hold ranked among the pleasant resorts of thivse who move in diplomatic society. _ When Baron Fava’s son, Mr. Francia Fava, became netaralized citizen and located here in his pro- fession of architect and civil engineering it was said to be directly in opposition to his father's wishes. 48 DEAN OF THE DIPLOMATIC CORPE. Since Baron Fava succeeded to the deanship of the diplomatic corps, which honor he had at several times personally held during the ab- sence of the Haytian minister. Mr. Preston, he has zealously defended the rights of his posi- tion, although there does not seem to have becn any desire to take the smallest bit of glory from him. Lately, however, he bas ‘been less particular, and upon the occasion of the dinner given by the Post- master General and Mrs. Wanamaker in honor of the President and Mrs. Harrison last winter he entirely forgot to attend it. dinner was kept waiting as long as proper courtesy to the special guests would permit, but the baron came not. His explanation afterward brought out the fact that he thought ne was invited to the musicale after dinner and not to the dinner itself. The incident caused a great deal of gossip at the time and led many to suppose that Baron Fava was brasqueanduncourteous in his manners. Nothing, in fact, could be further from the real truth, as the baron has been distinguished in his oficial career here by great urbanity and cordiality of manner. He paid little “attention to social matters, | though he visited regularly in the afternoons and attended most of the more important events, being especially punctual at the White Boome functions, where he had the proud privi- lege of presenting his diplomatic colleagues to the President, ™ re A STANDING JoxE. It has long been a standing joke among the diplomats that it was wel!-nigh impossible to even catch Baron Fava at his apartments, Out- side his door is always hanging a little sign, “Out,” and very few over seemed to have had the fortune to call when it was re- ve to “In"—if it ever did read it. On the night that he failed to appear at Mr. Wanamaker's dinner there were a many telephone m sent around by some of the other foreigners who were present to endeavor to remind him in time of the engagement. None succeeded in reaching him until very late,and when theanswer came it created some consternation. The person ‘who repeated the message from the Wanamaker telephone announced that “Mr. Fava was dyin, athome.” Alter the message was operate: again several times it was discovered that far from any suche dreadful state of affairs, the Daron was only “dining” at home. In one way or other the course of Baron Fava in the New of a great deal of favorable comment in the drawing rooms whereit was discuesed. A com- my of leading diplomats, talkiag the snv- ¢ over in ® company on Monday evening, referred to his conduct of the matter as being in the highest diplomatic sense. as prudent and well ordered, and they expected that it would end in great distinction for him.

Instances Where There Have Been Strained Relations Which Have Been Adjusted. foreign ministers to the United States have | been recalled, and American ministers abroad | have been recalled, but there does not appear to be any exact parallel to this ease. When we jhave been actually at war with a na- tion diplomatic relations have, of course, been atanend. Recalls have generally been at the request of the country to which the minister objected to was accredited and gen- erally on account of some personal objection | to the minister. During Madison's administration the British minister, Francis James Jackson, was recalled at the request of this government as a conse- quence of the controversy which had arisen over the embargo and non-intercourse acts between this country and England. Jackson in @ communication to Secretary of State Smith insinuated that President Madison in his negotiations with Jackson's predecessor, David Erskin, was aware of the alleged fact ‘that Erskia had exceeded his instructions in his nogotiations with this government relative to the suspension of ihe emburgo and non- intereour-e act. Asa result of Jackson's insinuations Mr. Smith, on November 5, 1909. informed Jack- son that no further communications would be received from him, aud that the British gov- erdment would be informed of the fact. Jack- son withdrew to New York, before doing so repeated the offensive insinuations. William = Pinkney — was the time our minister to Great Britain and he made known in vigorous terms to the Brit- ish foreign oftice the grounds of the President's | complaint against Jackton. Lord Wellesley,the | British foreign secretary, ten weeks after Pink- | ney’s comn 1 to him, made a reply in @ j measure defending the action of the British | minister and criticising the course of our gov- jment. He promired, however, that Jackson wouid be recalled, but would not receive any mark of the king’s displeasure. Mr. Pinkney was then instructed in case Great Britain pur- posed to have only a charge at Washington to ve London and to entrust our affairs there | | i at to a charge. Wellsley, however, gave repeated assurances an — inten- tion to appoint « minister to the United States, Dut he delayed action, and as a result Pinkney was recalled and left London February 28, 1811, although on the 15th of the month Wellesley announced the appointment of Augustus J. Foster, who had becn minister to Sweeden, as British minister to the United States. ‘This is regarded as one of the most ex- citing diplomatic controversies we have had. A FRENCH MINISTER RECALLED. ‘The Marquis De Moustier, who came to this country in 1788 as French minister, was re- called on the complaint of this government be- cause he made himself offensive to Jay and to Washington. a se Genet, who came as minister from France 1783, became involved in a controversy our government because he fitted out priva- teers in this country to pray on the commerce of England. then at war with France. He also organized military companies and undertook to invade Florida and Louisiana. In writing to the President he used insolent language and his re- call was finally asked of France. President Washington was in favor of summarily order- ing him from the country, butJefferson favored a milder course. In February, 1794, he was replaced and the French Government asked for his arrest. ‘This request our government denied, and as Gen. Genet dared not go home he settled in New York and afterward married a daughter of Gov. Clinton. Gonvernonr Morris was recalled from France at the request of the French government as the result of the Genet affair. In 1849 Mr. Clayton, Secretary of State under Taylor, broke off official communication with M. Poussin, the French minister. The French ernment declined to recall him, but he left e country. In 1855 Mr. Marcy demanded the recall of Mr. Crampton, the British minister here, be- cause of bis connivance at the enlistment of men in this country for service in the Crimean war. The British government refused to recall | broke off intereourse with him. ‘This led to | war talk. Crampton was made a K. C. B. by the British government and was sentas minister to Hanover. During Grant's administration the Russian minister, Catncazy, was at the request of this government. British Minister West was recalled at the re- writing on American politics in a way that was regarded as meddling.” in 1877 Venezuela broke off communication with our minister to that country, Mr. Russell. cece eats Gen, Pike Sinking Rapidly.
