step towards such rupture.
PORTER HAD BETTER HOLD HIS TONGUE.
The United States minister here, Mr.. A.
! q, Porter, yesterday called to see the Italian
| premier, the Marquis di Rudini, who, how
ever, was absent from his office. Mr..
Porter saw the under secretary Of the
foreign office, Signor UArco, and expressed
regret at the action taken. Mr.. Porter ad
| mitted that there was reason and fairness
| in the demands Of the Italian government.
| Mr. Porter finally asked the Italian gov
eminent to wait till Tomorrow, hoping
that satisfactory answer would be re-
ceived from Washington in reply to his
| (the United States ministers representa-
tons.
Later in the day Rnron Fava cabled to
his government that the latter's note to the
United states government had been pre-
Washington if within reasonable time no
satisfaction was received from the United
/ States government.
This is the end 50 far as known here, of
the dispatches on the New Orleans matter
exchanged between the governments of
Italy and the United States.
, Political circles here fully endorse the
action of the Italian government. The
newspapers of this city pronounce them
selves very strongly against the United
States government.
WHAT LEADING ITALIANS ADVISE.
l
Influential italians advise the Italian
government to send a circular note to the
friendly powers, denouncing the United
States as being confessedly unable to in
sure justice in the United States and AS i'm
potent to fulfill the duties of civil gov
eminent.
Other prominent Italians suggest that
the Italian government should break off
al negotiations with the government at
Washington and that il should in future,
so far as the New Orleans lynchings are
concerned, deal directly with the state of
Louisiana, and that the latters govern
ment should be called to account for the
killing Of the Italian prisoners in the New
Orleans Jail.
The Marquis di Rudini, the Italian
premier, arrived here from Florence late
last night, having been summoned by tele-
graph. The Italian cabinet will meet to-
day and will resolve upon what further
tteps are to be taken in the New Orleans
matter by the Government of Italy.
During the course of an interview to-day
with an Associated Press correspondent
the Marquis di Rudini said that personally
he was most kindly disposed towards the
United states government and expressed
the hope that the civil authorities of the
United states would not fail in their duties
towards society, justice, morality and the
law. Public opinion however, he added,
demands more energetic course of action
If the United States government, he con
tlnued does not perceive that it is in the
wrong q diplomatic rupture is inevitable.
Continuing the premier said. "The re-
port that Americans have been insulted
and arrested in Italy as an outcome of the
present negotiations is ridiculous and false
Americans always receive here the best
and kindest hospitality both upon the
part OF the Italian government and the
Italian people, both knowing perfectly the

WAS ITALY SCARED BY THE MAFIA2
BERLIN, April Lit is reported here that
mysterious warnings sent by the Malta
Society have been conveyed to King Hum
bert of Italy. In these warnings the Malta
Society is said to have demanded protec.
ton from King Humbert and the Italian
government for Italians resident in foreign
countries.
1t is further believed, according to this |
story, that the recall of Baron Fava. the |
Italian minister at Washington, was largely |
owing to the fears Of the italian ministers |
aroused by the Malta threats.
SOUTHERN EDITORIAL OPINION.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, April 1.-The Ad-
aertiser says; IF the Italian government
thinks Minister Blaine and President
Harrison ought to send to New Orleans
and kill all those engaged in the affair of
few days ago it is expecting the impossible
Secretary Blaine is largely responsible for
the turn affairs have taken by the haste
with. which he took sides against the
people Of New Orleans and the manner in
which he spoke of the massacre. The
Italian government shows its dense ignor-
ance of Republican institutions in sup
posing that the Federal government can

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
KNoxvILLE, Tenn, April 1.-The Knox
vile Joaind says "Under ordinary cir
the withdrawal Of the Italian
from Washington might become
an incident of grave international concern,
but at the present time it may be viewed
with equanimity. With the republic of
France and the Car SO openly preparing
for hostilities, Italy will find that her en-
gagements will keep her busy without
tackling our Uncle Sam
OPINION OF AN EMINENT JURrsr.
CHICAGO, April Judge Gresham, in
speaking last night about the Italian
minister's recall, said he was unwilling to
believe that the Italian government had {

can be reached.
II don't think he said, that any qles-
ion of international law is involved An
Italian in New Orleans has a right to the
anne protection that is extended to our {
'wn citizens, and if some one lawlessly '
larms the Italian his government has no
more to do with it than if an Italian citi-
en- should be assaulted here in Chicago
n the latter instance it would be expected
hat the city would take measures to pun '
III the offender, but the Italian govern S
