Correspondence Between Minister Fava and Secretary Blaine Made Public ~The Two Not on Good Terms, Rowr, April 1.—In official circles here it {s stated that Baron Fava, the Italian ministe at Washington, has not cabled anything de- cisiveto his government in regard to his re- call. United States Minister Porter called to mier, who, yesterday Marquis di Rudini, Ttalian pre ver, was absent from the city. Mr. Porter then saw the vnder se tary of forcign affairs, Signor Darco. I'hio Unitod States minister expressed regret at the fact that the Italian government had thought fit to recall Baron Fava, and, gencr: allv speaking, thought the United States government would not deny any request of the Italian gove and fairness in st promised to pl tif there was reason demands, Porter also betore the United States government at Washington the substance of the couference which took place between him self and Signor Darco, Incidentally Porter also suid that the ftalian government should walt before taking further that & satisfactory answi from Washington. Before Mr. Porter office the latter said American Ttalian city and stion in the hope ¢ might bo recefved loft, Signor “Sup & dozen murdered in i pleaded impotence to punish the murder becanse the city in which the murders occurred enjoyed an’ au- tonomous form of government, What opin fo. would you in the Usited States aud what opinion would the civilized world at large havo in regard to our plea? Vorter thercupon tried to make clear to Darco the relations of the federal govern ment to the individual states as fixed by the constitution, Signor Dareo was not satified, and replied with heat “We have nothing to do with your constitution. If it is found wanting you must mend it. You know it is no consti tution worthy of a free, civilized country if it does not insu -,mxmlnm-mn crime and protection for the weak.” “The rumors circulated in the Umted States to the effect that a number of Ame ans have been detained in custody here as hostages for the future treatment of Italian now in the United States, is denied. Public opinlon nere awaits the issucof the negoti tions between the United States aud taly a most tranquil frame of mind. The tenor of Baron Fava's noteto Blaine is that what Ttaly usked and still asks is the federnl government's guarantee that regular legal proceedings bo taken against the cul- prits in the New Orleans lynching, and that the federal government will admit in prin- ciple its obligation to pay indemnity to the families of the victims, The note adds that Italy cannot and is not called upon to discuss American institutions, but she must urgo upou the federal government the obser- wation of the principles of international law. Ttaly hopes that the federal government wili appreciate the obligations_inenmbent upon it as the governmeat of a civilized country to Darco's citizens wer we accede to Italy’s just demands, 1f this should ~mot bo tho case the lang’s mimster must, by order of his governmeant declare that he quits the post whore bis Logitimato action s o rep- resoutative has proved ineficacious, “The Associated press corres Tas perused the dispatches exchanged from the outset between the government of Italy and the government of the United States in ndent here regard to the New Orleans lynching. The substance of them is that Italy asked wm the main that & fuir, legal process should be instituted against the cul- rits, regarding them as common s taly likewiso asked for indemnit families of tho men killed in New Orleans by the mob which invaded the jail there. The answer from Washington is regarded as unsatisfactory.

It is merely the first step towards such a rupturo, Political circles here fully action of the Italian government. . The news- s of this city pronounce themselves gainst the action of the United cnt. Influential Italians ad- viso the Ralian goverament to send a circular endorse the note to friendly powers denouncing the Umted States us being confessedly umable ‘to insure justice in the United States and as impotent to fulfill the duties of a civil government. Other prominent Italians suggest that the Italian government should broak off all negotiations with tho government at Washivgton and that it should in the future, so faras the New Orleans lynching is concerned, deal directly with the state of Louisiana and that the lai- ter's government should bo called to account for the killing of the Italian prisoners in the New Orloans jail The Halian cabinet will m will resolve upon what furthe taken in the New Orlean ernment. In the course of an interview to- day with the Associated press reporter Mar- quis de Rudini satd o was personally most Kindly disposed toward the United” States cot today and steps shall be natter by the gov- government, and expressed the hope tnat tho civil authoritics of the United States would not fml in their duties toward society in_ justice, morality and law. Public opinion, however, he added, ~demanded A more encrgetic coursa of action. 1f the United States government, he continued, does not nereeive it is_in the wrong, a diplo matic rupture is mevitable, Continuing the premier said: *“The report that Americans iave been insulted and arrested in Italy as the outcomo of the present negotintions is ridiculous und faise. _Americans always ro- ccive hore thoe best and kindest hospitality, Both upon the part of the Italian goverument and the [talian people, both knowiug per- fectly the duties of the civilized country.” Thic pressure brought to bear upon the Marquis di Rudini, and which compelled him 0 aet vigorously was fomented hy tho friends of Signor Crispl, the late premier of 1tuly Especially was that pressure brought to bear by Sicilians who moro or less were either dreading or were in sympathy with the Mafiasoclety.

They Have Not Eeen on Good Terms for ~ome “time Past, WasniNGToy, April 1.—[Special Telegram to Tue Ber.[=“Thero is one view of the sit- uation between tho Unitod States and Italy which does 1ot seem to have attracted the at- tention of the American press,” said an at- tache of the diplomatic corps this af- ternoon, “By withdrawing her min- ister with the understanding that he 1s withdrawn on account of the New Orleans affaic Italy has practically ceased all nego- tiations for the settlement of - the diMeulty, and as a result Mr. Blaine would be fully warranted in refusing to take any further steps toward a settlement of the dispute.” Tuis view fs shiared by e member of the diplomatic corps, and every foreign rep- sesentative here openly says that Italy has made a fool of herself in this unprecedented diplomatie movement. The Italian affair coutinues to absorb public attention. It is discussed in all its bearings and upon occasions to the entive ex- clusion of everything else. _Some very queer idens dvanced by different statesm Senator Plumb, for instance, says that th is no dangerof ' a war, but 'that it is quite probavlo that the affait will lead to bloody and serlous encounters in all the large citics where there is 4o Italian element in the population nator Sanders ates will shed m thinks that the United : ve blood in suppressing the Indians of the northwest than will bo shed w patching up the strained relations existing between {nis countr, Thore is a number of very intelligent Ital- ians in the city at the preésent time, among whom are wany bitter enemies of Fava, who is anything but popular countrymen, Oncof these gentlemen said today thing is farther from the thought of Riudini, the present Italian premier, than a war with the Fava's r moval has been contemply for some months, and one of the things whick has brought 1t about is the manner in _which he has conducted the domestic affairs of the nation here. Italy is a nation of 0,000,000 people, who are entitlod to be ropreseuted in Washington in a respectable manuer. Their minister receives a salary of $16,000 & year, and besides this he has an al- lowance “of 25,000 francs, or about 000, for rent. Fava has lived in two ifsignificant rooms on tho corner of Righteenth and H. streots, for which he paid 18 a month, Tho logation proper was located over a confec- tionery store. Two small rooms were occupied and the cost was only £20 a month. In other words, I assert that Fava, tho Italian min- ister to the United States, has received from his government £,000a year for rent, and that he has spont ouly about #6350 of the amount, for that purpose. This has recently been called to the attention of the Italian au- thorities, and is one of the causes which led to his recall. Of course thero was politics in it and plenty of politics. Italian affairs ave in a chaotic state since the downtall of Crispt and the elovation of Rudini, It was abso- lutely necessary that something should be done, an it has been accomplished by the removal of a minister who was a persona non grata to his own people as well as to the peo- ple to whom he was accredited.” ““What do you mean by the statement that Fava is not an good terms with the people of this country I mean exactly what 1 say, Fava has not been ou good terins with My, Blaiue for some months. Some months ago, possibly a year, the United States consul at_Palermo, Italy, in one of his dispatches to the stato dep ment called attention to tho lawlessness of cevtain classes in Italy in the noighborhood of Palermo. For some reason Fava took strong exceptions to this and in_the absence of Mr. Blaine he called on the presiaent and made such a fuss about the matter that the i Italy president was induced to depose the consul for his alleged indiscretion. Whon M, Blaine returned and found what had been done be did not hesitato to express his indignation at the breach of diplomatic eti- quette on the part of Fava. The consul was remstated in the service, but Fava has not been reinstated in the good graces of the sec- ary of state. Soon after the New Or- ns affair oceurred and anout the time that Fava made his domand for redress the atten- tion of the Italian it oficials was unofficially t that Mr. Blaino was practieally at outs witn the Italian ren- resentative leve, May it not be due in part to this fact that Rudini concluded that it would bo wise to remove the minister and thereby score & point with opponexts of his policy while relieving himself of a ropre- sentative who under the circumstances could nov successfully neogotiato for a settlement of the difiicilties growing out of New Ovleans murders! 1t Rudini really at to mako a hostile demonstration st the Uaited States he would not_have left the imperali in _charge of the logation here. Ou the contrary, the rooms over the confectioner’s shop woiild have beeu closed completely.
