of the Unltoil States receives the intelligence
of Huron I'ava's speedy departure from this
capital. Though ho tins nioru than onca In *
Lltmited thU purpose the government of the
United States 1ms been unable to see ado-
qimlo reasons for such n stop. Tno baron's '
service hero for the put ton years has been
distinguished at all times b.v most nsrecablo
relations with the executive department
of this government. The regretnt

: ho president believes , ho has been
recalled under n misapprehension of facts by
hotfovcnimoiit ot Jtuly , I'lio causa of his
sunuorliiR his diplomatic relations "with this
government Is thus given in hit note : "Tin1
repartition demanded by the government of
iho king , ns I have had the honor to Inform
vou In our Interviews hold during the last
Tow days , \vcro to consist of the following
jolnts : 1 , Official assurance by the federal
{ ovurntnent that the guilty parties should bo

left with mo. Marquis Kudlul's telegram de

obtain punishment of the murderers mid in

interviews with which ho 1ms honored tno
that the Kovcrnment of the United States Is
.Hiorly unnblo to civo the assurance which
Martinis Hiulini liua dcmundcd. Even if the
nntloniil frnvcrninont had entire jurisdiction
over the alleged murderers it could not give
assurance to any foreign pownr that they
should bo punlshod. Thu president Is unnlilfl
to sco how any government coulu Justly give
an assurance of this churactor in
absence of n trial and a verdict
of "guilty. " The constitution of the
United States declares that ' 'In nil crimi
nal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the
right to n speedy and public trial by an im
partial jury of the s > tito and district wherein
thocrimo shall have boon committed. " It
needs no argument to prove that a jury coulil
not be Impartial If it were in any scnso or to
any degrc'n bound before the trial of' the ac
cused by the assurance of which the presi
dent of the t7nltoil States had ventured to
glvo n foreign power. In the constitution of
the &tuto of Louisiana , under whoso im
mediate Jurisdiction the crimes wcro com
mitted , substantially the same statute is
found , so thu governor of that state would ho
as unnblo to glvo a pledge In advance for the
result of the trial under the state Jaw as the
president would bo were it practicable to try
the leaders of the mob under the law of the
United .States. In Bnron Pava's second point
ho demands recognition , In principle , that in
demnity is'duo to the relatives of the vic
tims. Ho' la assuredly tinder a grave error
when he declare ? tbut the United States gov
ernment declined to take this demand into
consideration , anil I shall regret if ho has
communicated snch a conclusion to your
government. The United States , so
lar from refusing , has distinctly recognized
the principle ) of indemnity to those Italian
subjectf who may have been wronged by a
violation of the riirhts secured to thorn bv
the treaty with the United States of Feb
ruary a ) , 1871. il have repeatedly given
Haron Fava assurance that under the direc
tion of the president all the facts and inci
dents connected with the unhappy tragedy
at Xo\v Orleans on March 14 lost , should 'bo '
most thoroughly investigated. I have also
Informed him that in nmattcrof such gravity
the government of the United States would
not permit Itself to bo unduly hurried ,
nor will It rnako answer to any do-
rnand until every fact essential
to correct judgment shall Have becnJully
ascertained through legal authority. The
impatience of the agrievod may bo natural ,
but its indulgence. do.as always.sccurp the
most substantial justice. "
The fact that Secretary Blaine addressed
his last letter on the subject of the .Now Orleans -
leans tragedy to ttio Mnruuls Imperial ! ,
charge d'affaires , is of slgnulcancc , demon
strating that this government does not re
gard the rupture of the diplomatic relations
caused by Baron Fava's recall as complete.
Had that view been taken the communica
tion would have been uddressod to tlio Ital
ian Kovcrumout direct or through the medium
of Minister Porter at Korno. How the mat
ter is viewed by the Italian government
will bo disclosed by the remy that is
made to the secretary's ' lottor. If the charge
d'aff airs replies as such it must bo construed
as an acknowledgement that the Italian gov
ernment Is still represented la the Unitna
States by its legation. But If ho announces
that ho Is without authority to reply and
suggests the transmlttnl of the secretary's '
communication to Kome , it may bo 'taken ' as
evidence that direct diplomatic relations be
tween the two countries are at an end.
A careful perusal of the secretary's letter
seems to warrant the assumption that from
the very beginning of the corresponde'nco and
nogotintloiisonthosubect | ] treated , the Italian
minister assumed an aggressive attitude.
The secretary says the baron ' 'has ' inoro
than once intimated this purpose" ( to depart
speedily , ) which clearly demonstrates that
the minister threatened to leave Washington
early In the negotiations. , ' ,
In a cautious and diplomatic manner that
might bo expected in a case where the facts
wore still ofticlnUy unknown to the United
States government , although It hod taken all
proper moans to procure a speejy report
Irani its own oftlcors in addition to any stnto-
mentrthat might come from the authorities of
Louisiana , Attorney General Millar said tea
a representative of the Associated press
this afternoon that instructions were
sent to the United States district
attorney at New Orleans to make
a thorough investigation of the case. JIo
was asked to report In detail the nationality
of onch of the men killed , and how many if
any had connection with the murder of
Henuossy ; what evidence that any of them
had anything to do with the alleged bribery
of the Jury , mid , In short , to got all the facts
and report as soon as possible.
A reporter who called this afternoon on
Baron Fava found him closeted with Dr. E.
S. Verdi of this city and inaccessible. Sub-
sohucntly Dr. Verdi , who was seen , sulrt :
"The case Is remarkably plain. Italians
have been murdered and the Italian govern-
erntnonl asked reparation. This government
said : 'Wo win do notbhitr ; only the courts
of J-oulslana may take action.1 If this gov
ernment bo powerless In such n matter it Is
a tnnst serious thing. Why were treaties
onM ra Into with European powers if the
United States cannot perform that which it
promised to do. Will It satisfy European
powers to sav that this crime was committed
In the state of Louisiana and is without the
province of the general government ! " Verdi
declared , with n good deal of energy , that
Fava's recall wus not duo to dis
satisfaction with the baron personally ,
but wus the action of nn insulted power.
How much the late minister did
to prevent this clash , Dr. Verdi added , might
never bo known , but the doctor declared it to
bo n fact that for at least ten days ho delayed
doing that which.ho was 'compelled to do
yesterday. When he received his instruc
tions bo at once made on endeavor to luivo
them rescinded , and not until ho was forced to
do BO did he savor- the diplomatic rotations oC
the two countries.

WASHINGTON , April 1. Army and navy
oftlcers talked a good deal this morning nbout
the action of the government yesterday.
They did not apprehend war , but never
theless the chance of an unfavorable turn in
the negotiations which might load to the un
invited appearance of the Italian fleet in our
harbors was not lost sight of.
Commodore Kamsoy , in charge of the navl-
gatjoii bureau of the navy , wna asked tbls
morning whnt was the condition of our naval
defense. Said ho :
"How many battle ships do you suppose wo
have I Just one , the double turrottcd monitor
Mlantonomah , now nt the New York navy
yard , and she l not completed. However ,
by pressing forward wo might finish nor in a
month. Wo nro building two battlo-ihliis ,
hut many months will bo required In which
to complete them and many more to arm and
plate them wilh Armor , It is idle to talk of
building n n.ivy in a few mouths.
Our now cruUers , about ti dozen In
number , would be of service aud would bo
fought for all they are' worth , but tlu y wcro
never intended to stati l ueforo armored
battle ships , or anything clso than such unarmored -
armored vessels as their own class. They
would , however , bo usolul to destroy lines
of water communication by which foreign
na al forces on our co.ist must receive their
coal and supplies. "
In conclusion Commodore Ramsey said ho
did not feel that Now York was in Imminent
danger , oven In the event ot wnr.
Adjutant General IColton of the United
States army scouted the idea of war ensuing
from yesterday's ' events. Ho did not hesi
tate to say that New Yorlc would ho safe In
any event. A hostile licet could not Ho
within twenty miles of New V Tork , and ns
for the land forces of the United States , the
general was confident that thsy could bo depended -
pended on to prevent any hostile army or
naval forca from setting foot on American

'VVpilcommitted suicldo this morning. Ho
had boon a sufferer from Id grippe.
Mona Calrd. a clover Englishwoman with
r. penchant for the sensational in art. an
literature , startled the world n year or moro
the "Is Mar-
ago by propounding question -
rlage a Failure1 !
So pronounced were licrviows upon this
most abstruse of all subjects that lltera-
teurs , statesucn ; , diplomats , female suf
fragists. , homo protectors , mothers , wives ,
daughters-nil rushed Into the arena as the
avowed champions or bitter adversaries of
the woman wlio had the temerity to propound
so deep a o.ucstion. And it was through
curiosity to see the position Mr. Stuart Hobson -
son would take In this matter that an audi
ence , lining every available Inch of room at
thoHoyd List evening , gathered to witness a
solution of the dlstrncllnjr problem , ' 'IsMar-
riafto n. Failure1 !
The play , which was given Its premloro
last evening , is described ns nn American
comedy , constructed by Archibald D. ( Jordon
and Ad Coroot for laughing purposes.
There is llttlo story to tlm drama , imd as
for plot there isn't ' any , the whole movement
of the play circling- about a stock broker who
hastho dlro misfortune of being married to a
wife who has a father , mother and sister , the
falher in turn having un old-timo Chicago
friend , who has a son. Those people de
scend upon the happy household or Horace
Kent ( Stuart Kobson ) and bring desolation
into the homo whore but a short , tlmo baforo
joy and contentment rolgiied supremo.
This very slender basis for a corn
ed v , Is drawn out Into three tlrosomo
ucis , the last being particularly remarkable
for its weakness. Aud it was only the genius
of Mr. Itobson that saved the play from being
a dismal failure. As Horace Kent , n longsuffering -
suffering being who is weighted down with a
mother-in-law und a father-in-law , the former
an example of a misguided woman weak and
vasclllating , tlio latter a grasping , greedy
ohl'hypocrite , Mr. Rohson has a role that fits
hlindoiiphtfully. A inuti of the world , pol
ished , suave , dlgnltlnd under the affronts
heaped upon him lu his own house , ho plays
it with an enthusiasm which Is very refresh
ing. Hut llko the worm , oflnch
the world has heard .so much , Horace )
Kent turns ill last and brings tlio llnal
curtain do\vu \ upon his \vifo united to him
and his ofleuslvo relatives enroiitoto Chlcairo ,
whcro they have received a contract to run a
soda fountain at the world's ' fair.
Several of the characters in the play are
lamentably distorted. Tliey are not oven
caricatures of the people whom they aru de
signed 10 personate mid much of the strength
of thu situations Is toil through their mis
conception.
Miss May Waldron plays the weak , but
tinally repentant , wife , Maud , and barring u
tendency to urticulnto tolly , plays
it very well. But tlo genuine
hits ou the women's side worn made by
.Miss Amy Busby In the part
of Illanclio , tlioslitorof Maud , n breezy portrayal
trayal of a typaof western girl \\liileli Is not
greatly oxiwrKcratod , and Ml.sa Olive May
who was en trusted with the part of a ser
vant , Fanny , mild to Mrs. Kent.
Mr George Woodward as the Intermed
'
dling'fatlierInlitw , Jasper Wiuron , was
nulto lee pronouiicod In lib * porsonatlon ,
\Vhllo weak and grasping with a morality
awav below tuo average , still Jasper warren
is by no moans agrnat a dastard as Mr.
AVoodward makes him ,
Mrs. Selwyn Irvlti , an excellent old woman ,
plays Mrs. Jasper Wnrrun exceedingly well ,
leaving llttlo to bo desired.
