German Papers Attack Secretary
Blaine.

Blaine.
BERLIN, April 2.-The National Zeituno
to-day says that Baron Favas note to Sec>
at is the duty OF any government to prose-
cute whenever such horrible crime as the
New Orleans lynching is committed, and
it Is its duty also to recognize the
principle of indemnity to the fami-
lies of the victims. Italy is quite
right in not wishing to discuss American
Institutions, and in calling attention to the
principles of international law"
The VoSsiche Zeitung today remarks
that the Italian news is somewhat reassur-
ing, in the face of the hostile tone of the
American press, and hopes that more reli-
ance can be placed upon the former than
ION the bombastlc utterances Of Secretary
Blaine, who is accustomed to hide weak
reasons with strong words"
GERMAN OPINION DIVIDED.
The Fava affair occupies all the papers
here. The conservative and national lib
eral papers regard the conduct of the Mar
quis de Rudini as dignifed and correct.
The radicals seem to think that the Ital-
ian premier was too hasty. A diplomatist
in an interview to-day said he believed that
the withdrawal of Baron Fava would leave
the Wash ngt0n government unmoved and
would punish only the Italians themselves.
He was of the opinion that the situation was
anals gous to that in Germany after the ex-
empress visited Paris, when German sub
jects were made to suffer for French indis-
cretion.
DON'T EXPECT. JUSTICE.
LONDON, April 2.-The Fall NaU Gazette
this afternoon, commenting on the recall of
Baron Fava, says that 1T is probable that
the rupture between Italy and tho United
States will end after SUCH an interval as the
digDities of diplomacy demand in a compro-
mise. Italy demanded justice and compen-
sation. The United States will probably
give the latter and deny the former. The in
cident will not add to the reputation of
the United States. 1t has revealed a weak
place in the American constitution, with al
its professions. Secret ary Blaine would be
glad enough, perhaps, to depoSe king
lyncA, but Louisiana is different in opin-
ion. The foreign elements in the United
States give them some security, as well as
involving them in danger. 1t is improbable
that Italy will attack the United States,
when, likeother countries, she has given so
many hostages to the United States.
BOUND TO BE AGAINST US.
The New York correspondent of the
Ddily NelCs, referring to the recall of
Baron Fava, saws that whatever are the
has no right to complain; hut an editorial
on the subject is in the same paper, and dis
agrees with what the correspondent says as
being purely an American view of
the case. Al hough the Net0S admits that
the lynching indicated no ill feeling toward
Italy 1t reminds the Americans that Baron
Favas action is far less serious departure
from ordinary usage than the expulsion of
Lord Sackville, and that the lynching is
graver offense than Lord Sackvi indis-
erection. ut is absurd ;" the NelUs says, ito
suggest that Premier Rudini is
playing to the gallery. If it can be proved
that any of the lynched men were Italian
subjects, Italy has an undoubted claim for
reparation.n The NetOs editorially con-
cludes thus: San official prosecution of the
lynchers is certain to result in an acquittal,
which would place Secretary Blaine in an
impregnable position, as Italy could not pro-
test against an acquittal."
ITALY CAE'T AFFORD TO FIGHT.
The Standard says: Marquis Rudini
has every right to insist that the sins Of the
Iafia have nothing to do with the case.
