TWENTIETH YEAR, ITALY 0N HER HIGH HORSE, | Minister Fara Notifies Secrstary Blaino of | His Recall by King Humbert, HAS NOT YET DEMANDED HIS PASSPORTS. The New Orleans Affair the Cause Officials at the Department of State Refuse to fay Anything. Wisnivorox, Mareh 8. —With an offic note, datod toctay, Baron Fava, Italian min ister, has declared to the secretary of state that the United States go: nment, not hav ing given assurances that the murderers of Italian subjects acquitted by American mag istrates and murdered in prison while under the immeuiate prote tion of the authorities t of New Orleans would be brought to justice, the Italian government has foun® itself unde the very painful necessity of showing openly its dissatisf alling the minister of his majesty from country where an Italian unable to obtain Justice, ates, ion by re th represontative is will leaye the United ary of the legation Mairs. aron le: in chargo of only cur: 3 This n by the Italian government caused the deepost surpriso in offcial circles hero when the fact becarne known. It has been generally supposed that the Italian g ernuent would at least await the action of the New Orleans grand jury, which is enareed with an investigation of the bloody enisode atthe New Orleans jail. It appears, howe that the information veceived from its cntatives must have led the gove to the conclusion that the grand jury investigation would fail to result in the punishment or even indictment of uny persons connected with the killingof the 1talims. The letter of Governor Nichols, in reply to Secretary Blalne, was also, he thought, regarded a evasive of the real point at issue—r for the alloged wrong—and the gov: ®mssurances that further bloodshed would not be allowed, unaccompanied by any exc for the failure of the state or municipal au- thorities to take precautions to prevent tho killing, , It is said, regarded by the Ttalian government with extreme dissatisfac tion. It appeared that the United States government had exhausted its resources. The relations between the national government and the governments of the states wen so fixed by the American coustitution that when the Jtalian winister, obeying the commands of his government, sought for some assurance that the persons concerned 1n the killing of its subjects would be punished, it was not possible for the general government to give any dofinite assurance of the kind. It could and did point to the fact that the grand jury was the American provision for calling bo- fore the bar of justico persons who had vio- lated the law of the land. But this particu- lar grand jury was called togethor under the laws of the sovereign state of Louisiana, and whether or not it would punish, accord’ ir to the Italisn idea of Jusuion, was some- g nonatwonal oficial from the president down could ugree, and the Italian govern- ment was not satisfied with such such views. With the relations between state and -na- tional governments and the peculiarities of our constitutional system of ~ government 1t bad mothing to do. But it was necessary, according to its views, that Italian citizens in foreign countries should beaceredited the full measure of protection tixed by the laws of these countries. Here was a case whoro, ac- cording to the statement of the minister, Italian subjects had been arrested on acharge of crime and acquitted by an Amer- fcan Jury according to the forms of American law. These men were decided innocent by a judicial tribunal and had been slain by an angry people. The ltalian government could not go behind the veralet of an American court, and notwithstanding it wus stated in some’ quarters that the men were really guilty of a foul assassination and had been acquitted by means of bribery, in the cye of the Italian government they wero in- nocent ltalion subjects, In their vio- lent killing the TItalan peoplo had been outraged and insultea. The national government of the Umted ~States had, s stateq, failed to ive any definite assurance that, reparation would be made, There was but ono course, aud that was that taken today, when the Itahan minister uotified Secretary Blaine that ho had been recalied because his government was dissatisfied with the negotiations. This is the Italian view of the matter. "hore was a commotion among the state de- partment officials when the fact heecameknown that Baron Fava had been recalled. Thoy did ot know it oMcially —save the secrotary before the close of oMeo hours, for the tary was confined to his home again currence of his old malady-- the gout. The secretary managed to get into a car- riage at 4 p. m. and drove to the white house, wherohe told the president all that had oc curred and discussed future prospects, re. maining an hour, then returncd bome and was not aceessible, Thestate department oficials declined to discuss the matter. None of the oficials cared to be quoted in their opinions, as pre cedents were to be looked up befora the could be ventured, There was a general position, however, to belittle the matter and no idea that thodogs of warwould be re: leased, Baro port, were son ing the secrel nt pr » ment ise Te by a re- Fava has not demanded his pass- as at fisst reported. Thero many steps in diplomacy, and though slight distmctions an( small formalities appeared trivial in publie view, they were really full of sig- nificance to the trained diplomatist. A de mand for passports is an_extrome measure. It is tken when the war feeling runs high, ana the winister's person is in danger at the handsof the populace. It is also in a degree suggestive uf a menace, A recall under tho circumstances of this case is a serious matter, Therocouldbo no attempt to aisguise that fact, but. it does not signify that mutual ex planation and ciplomacy cannot restore the old status T'he charge daffuirs, the marquis imperiale, has been left in charge of the Italian leg. tion, 0 tho severance of diplomatic relations cantot be rezarded as complete, Just what the status of this offieral s cannot be known cxcept through his official ncts.

Certainly Mr. Porter, United States minisier to Italy, will ot be recalled, d this government will mantain a pacific attitude and abide by the develop: ments of the future Itis said by a gentleman who has had large ience in the diplomatic affairs of our uicnt that a declaration of war does not necessarily follow such action as that of Ttalian government. There were many precedents for it, nearly all of which, how. over, were among European nations.

The other case occurred at the time of the war of 1812 with Great Britain, when_ the minister from that country was given his passports. There are no cases recalled where ninisters of the United States to a foreign country have been given their p: ts, though there may have been one or mc stances of this kiud. The prospects of war over the dent is ridiculed by this gentleman, Tt is also a prospect of an extra sion of congress growing out of the same incident. He suggested that a misunderstanding may possibly exist as to the real nature of theletterof Governor Nichols to Secretary Blaine with respect to the killing, It is assumed that Baron Fava sent the Letter to his govern me 1l possi bly that the government may iuterpret it as the sentiment of the federal government in the case. Nations, he pointed out, donot go to war in these times over small afTairs. Late this afternoon erroneons reporis were in circulation respecting alleged outrages on Amorican_citizens in Italy. A careful in quiry at thedepartment of state fails to dis close more than two complaints of this cnar- acter during the past six months. In one case an American citizen in tho habit of crossing the Piedmont boundary line was suspected of smuggling, and when he refused to allow Mo [talian custom ofticers to search bis carriage for coutraband articles he was arrested and made a bitter compiaint.

Oficers of the navy said, *I told you so,” when asked how they viewed the matter. For years past in the Tace of opposition and derision from members of congress repre- sentiug constituents located in the interior of the country and in a position safe -from _out- sido attack they had persistently pointed out the need for a navy that would be a defense for the country.” Their colleagues in the army had begged for coast defenses,and yet hero we were with an_international affair on our hands and but a mere skeleton of 4 navy and maps of projected coast defenses at_our back. To would-be economists who have opposed their views these officers point to the French spoliation claims—aggregating millions of dollars—which we are just be- ginning to settle and which found their birthin an incident somewhat like this.
