HAS NOT YET DEMANDED MIS PASSPORTS , TIio New OrlcniiH AfTnlr the Caiiso at the Departincut of filnie ItcfiiHO to S-uy Anything * "WASHINGTON , March31. With nn offlclal note , tinted today , Bnron Fava , Italian min ister , has declared to the socrotury of stuto thntthu United States government , not hav ing given insurances that Uio murderers of Italian subjects acquitted by American mag istrates nntl murdered in prison -while under tlio Immediate proto : tlon of the authorities of Now Orleans would bo brought to justice , the Italian government has fountl Itself under the very pnlnfill necessity of showing openly Its dissatisfaction by recalling the minister of Ills majesty from the country where nn Italian representative is unable to ohtalu justice ; The baron will sonn leayo the TJtilted States , leaving the secretary of the legation in charge of only current alTalra. This action by the Italian government caused the deepest surprlso m onicial circles hero when the fact bccnnio known. It has hecn Kenerally supposed that the Italian gov ernment would nt least await the action of the Now Orleans grand jury , which Is cnargcd with an Investigation of the hlooily episode at the Now Orleans Jail. It appears however , that the information received from its representatives must Imvo led ttio government to the conclusion that the grand jury Investigation would fnl to result In the punishment or even indictment of any persons conncctei" \vlththokillingof the Italians. The letter of Governor JJIchols , In 1'oply to Secretary Blalne. was also , ho thought , regarded as evasive of the real point ut Issuo-repara'.lon Xortho allowed wrong and the governor's assurances that further bloodshed would not be allowed , unaccompanied by any excuse for the failure of the state or municipal nu thorltios to tnko precautions to prevent the killing , was , It is said , regarded by the Italian government with oxlromodlssntlsfac tlon. It appeared that the United States porcrntnont had exhausted its resources The relations between the natlona government and the governments ot the states were so fixed by the American constitution that when th Italian minister , obeying the commands o Ills government , sought for some assurann that the persons concerned in the killing o its subjects would DO punished , It was no possible for the Roncral government to glv < juiy definite assurance of the kind. It could nml did point to tlio fact that the grand Jury wns the American provision for culling before - fore the bar of Justice persons who had vlo latcd the law of the land. Hut this partlcu lar grnnd jury was called together under th laws of tlio sovereign state of Louisiana , and whether or not It would punish , accord' lr to the Italian Idea of justice , was some vOlnp no national oniclul front the presidcn uown could agree , and the Italian govern mcntwas not satis lied with such such views VJith the relation between state and - national tional , frovornmoim 'and the peculiarities o our constitutional system of government i had nothing to do. But it was necessary according to Its views , that Italian citizens ii foreign countries should bo accredited the fu" inensuro of protection lixcd by the laws c these countries. Hero was a case whnro , lie cording to the statement of the minister , Italian subjects had been arrested 01 a charge of crime and acquitted by nn Amer lean Jury according to the forms of Amcrlcai law. These men were decided innocent by judicial tribunal and had been slain by a nngry people. Tlio Italian government coul not BO behind the voralct of an America ; court , and notwithstanding it was stated i some quarters that the men wore rcall. guilty of a foul assassination and had been acquitted by means of bribery , in the eye of the Italian government they wore in nocent Italian subjects. In thnlr violent lent killing the Italian people had been outraged and Insulted. The national government of the United States hud , us stated , failed to ijlvo any definite assurance that reparation would bo mndo. There was but ono course , and tlint was that taken today , when the Italian minister notified Secretary Dlalno that ho had been recalled because his government was dissatisfied with the negotiations. This Is the Italian view of the matter. Tltoro was a commotion among the state do- partincntofllelals when thafactbccnmoknown that Baron Kava hud been recalled. They did iiot know it officially -save the secretary before the close of oftlco hours , for the secre tary was cunllnod to Ills homo nniu by a re currence of his ohl malady the gout. The secretary managed to get into a car riage at 4 p. m. and Urovo to the white house , where ho tola the president all that had oc curred and discussed future prospects , re maining an hour , then returned homo and was not accessible , The state dopnitment officials declined to discuss the matter. .None of the oftloials cnroil to bo quoted In their opinions , as pre cedents wore to bo looked up before thny could ho ventured. Them was a general dis position , however , to belittle the matter and 110 Idea that the dogs of war would bo re- Inns C < 1. Buron Fava has not demanded his pass port , as at first reported. There- worn many steps in diplomacy , and though slight distinctions nnd small formalities appeared trivial in the public view , they -were really full of sig nificance to the trained diplomatist , A de mand for passports is an extreme measure. It is taken when the war feeling runs high , ana the minister's person is in danger nt the uandsof the popnlaco. It Is also iu a decree suggestive of a menace. A recall under the circumstances of this case is a serious matter , There could bo no attempt to ulsgnlso that fact , but It does not signify that mutual ex planation and diplomacy cannot restore the old status. The charge d'uffalrs , thomarquls imperialo , has been left In charge of the Italian lega tion , so the severance of diplomatic relations cannot IKS regarded as complete. Just wtiat the status of thUofllcinl U cannot bo known except through his onicial net * . It is sUtoct that ho is in charge of "current affairs. " If any serious significance attaches to the inlnlncr'srecall this means that the charge is to be limited in Ids functions to Issuing passports , Including consular oftlcers and o'ihor small matters. In this case further correspondoneo between the governments of the United States and Italy must take place directly between Washington and Home. It ran bo stated positively that unless events take nn unforsccn auil Improbable turn there will bo no call issued for nn extra session of conpress , and ono of the most seri ous IH-offocts of the Incident will uo the probable postponement for nn Indefinite time of the president's ' proposed soutlieni und western trip. The view taken by tha administration , as It Is understood , it that this government has done all that could be done In the in niter. Even If it had complete legal jurbitlctionln the case , It could only assure the Italian government that It would prosecute the per sons cullty of the attack on the Italians at Now Orleans , it could not auuro tl > o Italian government that it would punish thorn as Italy desired. That would bo for grand and potli juries to determine. The Italian gov ernment has boon told that the president ae- plorcs the occurrence and that the govern- mt'nt has taken stops to Investigate the ant tor. I'urt of till * Investigation was the as- cortalumcntof tlm nationality of the Italians killed , nnd this has not yet been learned. There Is uo proof , whatever , before the urcsl- dealer the secretary of state that a bluglo itallin ellU u wn among the victims , and such proof la absolutely a necessary prelimi nary tea fair demand for reparation. The ofllcers of the department of justice are still Inquiring Into this and other branchon of the case. It Is suspected in administration circles that the recent changes in the Italian cabinet may have much to do with the present stain ofafTiiira. Marquis do Hudlnl is supposed to bo open to the Inilucnco of the popular clamor nnd to desire to achieve a reputation with the masses by catering to the demand of the hot-headed clement of Italy. At any rate it Is felt that the present state of affairs is only temporary , ninl there Is no disposition or in tention to tnko any hasty action on the part of this government. Certainly Mr. Porter , United btatoi minister to Italy , will not bo recalled , and this government will maintain n pacific attitude nnd abide by the develop ments of the future. It is said by a gentleman who tins had largo experience In tbo diplomatic affairs of our government that n declaration of war docs not necessarily follow such action as that , of the Italian frovemment. There wore many precedents for it , nearly all of which , how ever , were ntnoiifr European nations. Through n better understanding of the di Heron cos that may exist or through the friendly Inter cessions of a third power thcso difficulties nro often adjusted without reoouMo to arms. So far as ho recalled there had bean few In stances where foreign ministers to the United States had been recalled at the request of our government or had iccn given their passports. The flrst was , hnt of n French minister , Citizen Junct , who , vas recalled by the French government nt .hn request of the United States because he , vns personally oitenslvo to this country. The ither case occurred at the time of the war of 81U with Great Britain , when the minister rom that country was given his passports. There are no cases recalled where ministers f the United States to a foreign country davobeeu given their passports , though trhero may have been ono or more Instances of this klna. The prospects of war ever the inci dent Is ridiculed by this gentleman. Tbero 's also a prospect of an extra ses- loii of congress growing lUt ° ' * ue nine incident. lie suggested that a : nisundnrstandlng may possibly exist us to the real nature of thclottcrof Governor Nichols to Secretary Blaine with rcjpect to ho kllllnp. It is assumed that Uaron Favit icnt the letter to his government nnd pos l- bly that the government may Interpret it as the sentiment of the federal government In the case. Nations , ho pointed out , do not go to war In thtso times over small affairs. Late tills afternoon erroneous reports were u circulation respecting alleged outrages on American citizens in Italy. A careful In- iuicy nt the department of stnto fails to dts- lese more than two complaints of this cnnr- acter during the past six months. In ono case nn American citizen In the habit of crossing the Piedmont boundary line was suspected of smuggling , and when ho refused to allow fho Italian custom ofllcers to search : iis carriage for contraband articles ho was arrested and mndo a bitter complaint. In the other case an Italian returned from the United States was arrested for alleged brigandage - andago in ly'iO. It appeared upon consulting. tbo records that ho had been included In the amnesty proclamation , so ho was released Just as our state department discovered that he had been fraudulently naturalized in this country. Hepresentatlvo I'ayson of Illinois , speaking about the matter , said there was no danger of war. There is too much good sense ia this country , he said , and it was to bo presumed there also was iu Italy , to go to war about this difllculty. Kcpresenlatlvo Copmwell of Massachusetts regarded the situation as ono of great gravity , und deplored the lack of a nnvy suitable for the defense of the country. Officers of the navy said , "I told you so , when asked how thpy viewed the matter. For years past hi the face of opposition ami derision from members of congress roprC' sontlug constituents located in the interior of the country and In a pasttion safe -from out side attack they had persistently pointed out the need fora navy that would bo a dofouso for the country. Their colleagues in the army had bogged for coast defenses , and yet hero wo were with an International affair on our hands and but'a mere skeleton ot n nnvy nnd maps of projected coast defenses nt our back. To would-bo economists who have opposed their views these ofllcors point to the French spoliation claims aggregating millions of dollars which wo are Just be ginning to settle and which found their birth in an Incident somewhat like this. In that case the United States government dis regarded treaty stipu'utions , the French government recalled Its minister and with out n doclarntloa of war on cither side French men-of-war preyed upon American commerce. MASDK11SMA'S VICII'S. Ho Considers the Thought of War at 1'rcNcnt IthllunloiiM. WASH IXOTON , March 31.- [ Special Telegram to Tun DUD. ] Senator Mnnderson , recently chosen to succeed In gulls ns president pro tempore of the senate , and an active member of the committee on military affairs , had re tired when the correspondent of Tim BCK called nt his residence. "War , war and rumors of war , " ho said , rubbing his oyos. "To mo there Is much that Is ridiculous In this talk about a war with Italy growing out of the recall of the Italian minister. It must be remembered that these things uro liable to" occur at any time , nnd it Is merely a coincidence that this recall caino so shortly after the Now Orleans difllculty. I grant you , " said Uio senator , ' 'that liaron R\vn's action in this matter may have boon unsatisfactory to his government and ono of the remote causes for his recall. This is only a more surmise , however. Whatever the causes nro I am confident that they nro personal matters between Ilaron Ru-a and his government. The Italian government has never by a single net shown that It has regarded it in any way Incumbent upon it to take up the JCcw Orleans matter. Outside of the formal correspondence that passed between the minister hero nnd the Now Orlenns authori ties iu this matter the minister may have been uctlngonhli own personal responsibility without any Instructions from abroad. Inasmuch ns the Italian government has never bhowti any lntorc.it Iu any other way , why not presume that they were displeased that Baron Fava took any stop whatever toward recognizing- claims of those Now Orleans prisoners upon thn protection of their native country. I do not put this forward as my own construction on the matter , but it Is just ns fair to presume this and a great deal more reason able than to suppose that Italy would go to war without nt first making a formal demand on the United States government for repara tion. tion."In case of a war with Italy it is hardly likely that n strong international force would bo required , for tlio lighting would bo car rlcd on on the scu const nnd the seas and in the harbors of the United States const. Wo have nt present 1,000,000 militiamen armed nnd equipped nnd in position to bo put In the field in n day's notice. There is no denying the fuel , however , that our navy support would bo nt first comparatively weak , but we would prow to It Iu u short ttmo.
