WasmivaToy, Aprl 2.—[Special Telegram to Tie B, | —Without a single exception all | the comments heard today upon Mr. Blaine's letter tothe Marquise Imperiali have been highly complimentary to the secretary of stite. On all hands the attitude of Mr. Blaine is praised to the bighest degree, aud the democratic members of congress who are bere at the present. time are loudest in their protestations of commendation for his course, One of these, who has been a bitter and vank partisan, said this afternoon: “Every Amer- ican has reason to feel the greatest pride in the dignity and force shown by the adminis- tration in this matter. Mr. Blaine is entitledto and will receive the cordial approval of every man who has the right tocall himself an American, He has preserved the dignity of his country, he has shown every disposition tob efair and just to the people who have been wronged, and he has at the same time most emphatically refused to sanction any course which bints at the usurpation of the sovereign powers of the states.” There is a general air of expectancy in offi- clal circles today, and every one connected with the government is eagerly awaiting to hear what the Jtalian charge d'affaires will reply to Mr. Blaine's letter. It is not ex- pected that that reply will be forthcoming for aday cr two, as Imperali will probably await instructions from Premier Rudini be- fore taking any steps in the matter at ail. By addressing his communication to Imperali as charge d affaires Mr. Blaine will force Italy to show her hand. If Imperali replies to the letterit will show that Italy intends to be still represented in Washington, On the other hand, a reply through Minister Porter will mean_that the legation of Italy in Wash- ington is closed to all business.” That the supposition is correct which said that the ac- tion of Italy was merely a cool blaff is evi- denced from the fact™ that Dr. Verdi, an Italian physician of this city, came direct from Fava's house and announced that the minister expects to be sent back to Wash- ington unless ho is given a more imvortant mission. Verdi is generally looked upon as a sort of deputy minister, aud although he has resided in this country more than thirty years and has been naturalized, he speaks like an Italian and seems to hold stronger &l- legiance to Humbert than to his oath as a cit- zen of this country. Major Flarquhar, ex-chairman of the ship- ping committee of the house, takes a very de- cided view of the Italian complications. He said that the hasty mauner in which the Italian government had acted gave every veason for the belief that Italy proposed to stand up on its hind legs and puw the atmos- phere, *‘It is now time for the United States government o take some sort of action which will impress the Italian government with the idea that we mean business, too. For that reason I would suggest that the secretary of the navy shouldsend an urg- ency letter to every contractor at whose yards American _men-of-war are being built. The letter should demand that the work on these vessels be hurried to the highest possi- ble limit and that any extra expense or dam- age arising therefrom would be paid for by the United States government. This would give Italy the idea that we propose to stand by ouractions, and I think would have a salutory effect upon both the Crispi and the Rudini factons. ~ As far us actual war is concerned, that is almost an absurdity.” Secretary llaine this morping transacted routine business. There was, nothing new in the Itahan situation. Fava has not yet nade application for a passport, nor as the Marquis Tmperiali acknowledged the receipt of Bline's letter sent vesterday evening. Among the callers on the secretary were the British minister and Sir Charles Tupper of Canada, who taiked with the secretary for an hour, presumably about the seal fisheries, reciprocity and othier matters now foremost in the minds of Canadians. There is considerable public indignation expressed at the attitude taken in the matter by lalian-Americaus who have long boen citizens of the Umted States and arc now taking sides with the Italian government and demanding satisfaction. ‘L'hereis a feel- ing that if these men are American citizens and have taken the oath of allegiance to the United States they are no longer subjects of Italy, whose duty it is to take up arms in her defense. The apparent inability of the United States to actually extend to foreigners the protec- tion which is guaranteed in the treaties in case an outrage 1s committed for which a state is respousible has led to considerable talk in diplomatic circles. It was suggested that congress might have to change the method of negotiating treaties, but when this view was presented to ex-Representative Grosvenor be very promptly replied that no change was necessary. **I'tie United States,’ he said, “‘can always be trusted to do what 1s honest and right. We need not go to the ex- tent of revising all our methods for the sake of pleasing countries which annually d large numbers of their people to our shores.’? General Grosvenor added that if the govern- ment had any right to interfere in a matter tike the Italian tragedy then it had an equal right to iterfere in every case where the murder of a negro for political re curs i the south during a federal e *“The Italian government,” said he, surely realize that if the national government cannot protect the lives of its own citizens or interfere to punish their murderers it cannot do so for foreigners,” Marquis Imperiali was seen late this even- ing, but was not prepared Lo make any state- ment as to the latest phase of the Italian aftair. He has not yet trausmitted Mapguis di Rudini's latest message to Secretary Blaine, but expects to do so in @ short time. It was said tonight that the message of Maurquis di KRudivi, (the substance of which was given In an Associated press dispatch from Rome) clears the situation to some ex- tent aud opens the way for the establishment of the former amicable relations between the two governments, and that Italy does not intend to carry the matter to the last ex- tremity. The toneof the message would in- dicate that the representations of the attitude of the United Stutes made in Secretary Blaine’s letter to the Marquis Imperiali and the explanations of the statusof the affair which, it is presumed, Minister Porter made 10 the Ttalian foreign ofice have been well received by the Italian ministry and that Ttaly was disposed to await the regular and orderly pribedureof the judicial institutions in this country, The Post will say tomorrow: “It 1s held by quite a number of international lawyers t the right of the lederal government to otiate treaties carries with it the power cry out treaty stipulations, eveu if by so g it appears t0 override state_authority, Congress, when it_convenes, will probably enact a law to designate how the foderal government shall act ina difficulty hke the present.’ Minister Porter's Peace Policy. Rose, April 2.—It is learned from reiiable scurces that United States Minister Porter done much to pacify the Itahan govern- ; that he has won over other ministers, several of whom had been trying to induce the Itahan prewier, Marguis di Rudini, to be less hast The idea of war 1s scouted here 1n diplomatic and overnment circles. Even Fava's final with- rawal has not been definitely decided upon, It is saia that even if Fava is withdrawn it will be doue only as the most forcible protest l kuown iu diploniacy, not as the forervuner of a conflict between the United States and Ttaly. Ttalian cabinet ministirs awe i receipt of a large number of cables: sms and let ters from prominent Itanass ia New York, urging moderation, Marquis di Rudini, [tallan premier, sent another cable messago 0 Secretary Blaine toduy on the subjeet © the New Orlcans trouble. The message toplies to Blaine's last note. In it Ruiiol says Italy has asked nothing but the prompt institution of regular judicial proccedings against the guilty parties at New C rleans. He adds that it would have beeq absurd to claim punisnment for the offenders without the guarantees afiordsd by o reg- ular trial, The dplomatic incident, he contiues, can oy be considered closed when the federa: goverament has de- clared in precise terms that prosecu tions will be commenced. Inthe meantime the ltalian governient takes coguizance of the federal government’'s declaration acknowledging the fact that compensation i3 due to the families of the vietims by virtu~of the treaty exist ing between the two countries. A l'ER}Ll’Th QUARREL, The English Press on the American- Italian Sithation. Loxpox, April 2.—The Telegraph says: “Tt could scarcely appear practical to Italy to be told that it was uncertain whether the murdered men were Italians whilst they were lynched and the iynching palliated on the ground that they were members of an Italian secret soclety. The contrast between the savage precipitancy of the slayers, the complacency of the municipal authorities of New Orleans and the deliberate skepticism of Blaine might well have moved a less bigh-spirited nation than Italy to reso- lute measures, We wre deeply grie ved to declare that the opinion of the civil ized world ranges itself against America. Itis scarcely wise for ‘American papers to bluster. The Italian navy isin a condition of highest efficiency. The hope of a speed equitable adjustment of this perilous quarrel lies with the vast ©ody of upright and bon- eling prevailiog in tho republic.” orable fi dard says: “Marquis Rudini has The St every right toinsist that the sins of the Mafia have nothing to dowith tho case. King Humbert is doing & service to the world at large in thus drawing attention to the defect of the American constitution.” A Representative Italian Talks. Loxnoy, April2. —In an interview today Signor Bonacina, presideut of the Italian chamber of commeree in this city, said he re- garded Baron Fava's action as *‘somewhat precipitated.” It was a mero flash in the pan, which would endin nothing. Signor Bonacina adde *There is not much sym- pathy among the Italians in London with the men who were lynched in New Orleans. The Italians here are of the opinion that there is no doubt the mon chargea with the murder of Chief Hennessy were guilty. Still they say thatif the lynchers go unpunished re spectable Italias in the United States are uot safe."” The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon says the incident will not add to the reputation of the United States. Ithas revealod a weak place in the American constitution, with all its pretensions. Mr, Blaine woutd be glad cuough, perhags, t0 depose King Liyuch, but Louisiana is of a different ovinion.” Foreign clements in the United States give them some security as well as involving them in some danger. It is {mprobable that Italy will atutek the United Stetes when like other countries she has given o many hostages to the Unijted States. 3 German Papers © BERLIN, 3T says that Baroff F'ava's n T perfectly correct, adding: “Ialy is quite right 1n not. wishing to discuss American in- stitutions and in callig attention to the prin- ciples of the international law." The Vossiche Zeitung today remarks that Italian news is reassurine in the face of the hostile tone of the American press, and hopes more reliance can be placed upon the former than on the ‘“‘bombastic utterances of Mr. Blaine, who is accustomed to hide weak rea- sous with strong words.” French Journals Discuss It. Panis, April 2.—The French papers discuss the Fava affair for the most part in a temper- ate tone except Temps, whichrefersto Amer- ica’s speedy action in sending ironclads to Tangiers in the case of the maltreatment of American citizens, and aads that it is strange for America to decline responsibility when foreigners are involved.
