Such Is the General Feeling in New York.
Editorial Opinions.
New YORK, April 1.-SenatorS Jones of
Nevada and Squire of Washington are
quoted in interviews as saying they are con-
fiient there will be no war with Italy. The
former believes there wont even be
a serious diplomatic disturbance. He
says: at is all nonsense for the
Italian Government to talk of redress
for killing those brigands. 1t Is not
so many years since that class OF people
were shot dowu in their own country by
order Of the Government"
at is only bit of diplomacy on the part
of the Italian Prime Minister to satisfy the
people Of Italy" added Senator Jones.
There is a popular clamor in Italy for some
sort of satisfaction. The Prime Minister
recalls Baron Faya. He tells the Italian
people it was done because the Baron had
been slow in bringing about settlement of
tile matter and then be sends a new Min
steT, and there you are; the whole thing is
settled"
General Di Cesn0la, Director of the Metro
pulitan Museum of Art, is inclined to dis
credit the report that Baron Fava has really
been recalled from this country, when |
read the announcement" said the General,
II sent telegram to the Minister asking II
the report was true. | received an answer
saying: L have only notified the State De-
partment that am going on leave OF
ABSENCE
An amusing feature of the Italian furry
has occurred here. A large body Of Italians
this morning rushed to the Naturalization
Bureau for second papers. They appear to
be afraid Of being drafted for service by the
Italian Government, aud are sure that war
Is imminent.
The majority OF the newspapers here and
in other cities OF the East, express the opln-
ion that the action of Italy appears to be no
more than an emphatic mode OF expressing
dissatisfaction with the bloody work in New
Orleans.
The Boston Post says: Ii now becomes
Baine's duty, in making of the pre-
scrlbed formaliteS, TO coaiiae the business
within the limits of diplomacy and prevent
its expansion into real trouble. There is no
doubt of his ability to do this, if he is not
misled by the attraction of an opportunity
Tor some brilliant stroke.
The Baltimore American says Italy, by
recalling her Minister while negotiations
were pending concerning the lynching, has
insulted the United States. If war is what
Italy desires, she is Supremely foolish in
mistaking the character of our Government,
and imagining threatening attitude will
advance her interests or help her subjects
sojourning in our midst. We have not much
of navy, it is true, and Italy has some
| magnificent ships, but victory depends
more on those who command the ships than
upon the ships themselves.
The Philadelphia Enquirer says: We
attach no serious Importance to the recall
of the MINISTER. This is more of political
move upon the part of the Government of
Italy than desire for naval brush. There
has been change in the Ministry over
there. The new Government has learned a
lesson from British jngoism. 1t appeals to
the baser instincts of the people-patriot-
ism, perhaps, is the term used for it in
ltaly-and thus seeks popular support. 1t
is welcome to all that sort of thing it can
get, but there will be no war.
