ctAIco llt sumo prOtectlOu tEaLl is en-
ljoyed by American citizens, and
which has always bsen extended to
the latter in Italian territory.
The reparation demanded by the
government of the King, as I have
Lad the honor to inform you in our
interviews, held during the last few
| days, were to consist Of the following
points.
l. Tbs official assurance by the
/ 1 Tederal Government that the guilty
parties should be brought to justice.
2. The recognition in principle,
that an indemnity is due the rela-
tives of the victims.
Your exc9l!ency was pleased to de-
clare to me, that, as the Federal Gov
ernment did not think that it could
take this view of the case, it declined
10 take the two aforesaid demands
into consideration.
Under these circumstances the
government of his majesty, consider
ing that the legitimate action of the
King minister at Washington be-
comes inaeficacious, has ordered me
to take my leave.
In obedience to the instructions
which L have received, 1 have the
honor to announce to your Excsllsn-
cy that 1 am going to leave Washing
ton as speedily as possible, leaving
the Marquis Imperiali, his Maiestys
Secretary of Legation in charge of
the current business Of the Royal LIE
CATION.
Be pleased to accept Mr. Secretary
of State, the renewed assurance Of
my highest consideration.
His excellsncy James G. Blaine,
Secretary of State, etc, etc, etc,
Washington.
Secretary Blaine answered Favs's
communication as follows:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, d. G, Apri. 1, 1891.
The MARQUIS IMPERIALI, Charge d.
Afaires: L have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt Of nots of yestsr-
days dste from Baron Faya, who has
left the Italian Legation in your
charge.
beg to express the sincere regret
with which tie government Of the
United States receives the intelli-
genoa of Baron Fava's speedy de-
parture from this capital Though
he has more than once intimstod this
purpose, the Government Of the
United States has been unable to sss
adequate reasons for such q step.
The baron's service here for the past
tsu years has been distinguished at
all times by the most agreeable rela-
tions with the Executive Department
of this government The regret at
his leaving is enhanced when, as the
President believes, he has been re-
called under a misrepresentation of
facts by the government Of Italy.
The cause of the surdering Of his
diplomatic relations with this gov
ernment is thus given in his note:
The reparation demanded by the
government of the King, as / havo
had the honor to inform you in our
interviews held during the last few
days, we're to consist Of the folio wing
points:
''First-The official insurance by
the Federal government that the
guilty parLios should be brought to
Justice.
"Secend-The recognition, in prin-
cipls, that IN indemnity is due to the
relatives of the victims"
The first demand thus stated by
Baron Fava is slightly changed in
phrase from that employed by him
i'll his many verbal requests based on
a telegram from the Marquis Rudini,
which he left with M. The Marqui |
Rudini declared that:
Kaly's right 10 demand andto o6iais
punishment of the murderers and an in
eemnity for The vict, ms is unqvestiona-
bic.
l. is inferred that Baron Fava's |
change of phrase meant no change of
demand.
l have endeavored to impress upon
him in the seyeral personal inter
views with whioh he has hsnored ne,
that the government of the United |
States is utterly unable to give the
assurance which the Marquis Rudini
had demauded. Even if the national
government had the entire jur'sdic-
lion over the alleged murdeasrs it
could not give assurance to any for
eign power that they should be pun
shed.
The President is unable to see
now sny government could Justly
give an assurance of this character
n advance of trial and verdict of
guilty"
In the constitution of the United
States, it is declared that in all Grim
nal prosecutions the accused shall
'njoy the right to q speedy aud pub
ic trial by an impartial jury of the
State and district, wherein the crime
'hall have been committed d.
1t needs no argument to prove
hat jury could not be impartial if
t were in any sense or to anv de-
gree bound before the trial OF the
accused by an assurance which the
President OF thu United States had
Ientursd to give to foreign power.
In the constitution of the State of
Louisiana, under whose immediate
Jurisdiction the crimes were commit
ed, substantially the same provision
3 found, so that the Governor of
that State would be as unable to give
a pledge in advance for the result of
4 trial under the state law as the
