THE FAVA AFFAIR.

A Cable Message From the Italian Premfcr-Interview With the Ital.
 Ian Embassy at Parfs-What the Ma.
 ttonal Zeftuag Says-ImPossib1e to Get an Interview With Minister Porter.
 ROME, April 2.-The Marquis di Rudini, the Italian premier, to-day sent another cable message to the United States on the subject of the New Orleans troubles. This message is addressed to the Marquis I'm periali di Francavilla, the secretary of the Italian legation at Washington, into whose hands the current business of the legation was placed when Baron Fava, the Italian minister presented his letters of recall. Marquis di Rudini instructs the Marquis Imperiai di Francavilla to hand the mes sage referred to MT. Blaine, the secretary of state of the United States government. The message is a reply to MT. Blaine's last note, and in it the Marquis di Rudini says that Italy has asked nothing but prompt institution of regular judicial proceedings against the guilty parties at New Orleans. He adds that it would have been absurd to claim punish
  antees afforded by regular trial The diplomatic incident, the Marquis di Rudini continuing, says, can only be considered closed when the Federal government has declared in precise terms that the prosecu tions will be commenced. In the mean time the Italian government takes cogni- zance of the Federal governments declara- tion acknowledging the fact that compensa- ton is due to the families of the victims by virtue of the treaty existing between the two countries.
 PARIS, April 2.-The councillor of the Italian embassy here, Signor c. Ressmann, Press correspondent in regard to the recall of Baron Fava, said: "If Mir. Blaine has hedged himself in with the plea of non possumus and has refused to satisfy Italy's demands Baron Fava will receive an un- limited leave of absence and nothing fur ther will transpire. That is the extreme limit of action to which a European gov ernment can have recourse when it desires to show that it is dissatisfied with the United States. Italy will not make war"
 BERLIN, April 2.-The National Zeitung to-day says that Baron Fava's note to MT. Blaine is perfectly correct, adding: 'It is the duty of any government to prosecute whenever such horrible crime as the New
 
 it's duty to recognize the principle of in demnity to the families of the victims Italy is quite right in not wishing to dis cuss American institutions, and in calling attention to the principles of inte ernational law"
 The Vossische Zeitung to-day remarks that the Italian news is somewhat reassur- ing in face of the hostile tone of the Amer ican press and hopes that more reliance can be placed upon the former than on the bombastic utterances of MT. Blaine, who is accustomed to hide weak reasons with strong words.
 ROME, April 2.-An endeavors to obtain the opinion upon the present crisis be- Hon. A. G. Porter, the United States min ister here, have proved futile. MT. Porter declares that the rules of international com ity preclude an expression of opinion by a minister placed in the position that MT. Porter is now placed in.
 It is learned, however, from reliable sources that the United States minister has done much to pacify the Italian govern ment and that he has won over to his way of thinking the other ministers, several of whom have been trying to induce the Italian premier, the Marquis di Rudini, to be less nasty. The idea of war is secuted n6r6 III UlplOlnaClC ana govern ment circles. Even Baron Fava's final withdrawal is not definitely decided upon It is said that even if Baron Fava is with drawn it will be done only as the most forcible protest known in diplomacy and not as a forerunner of conflict between the United States and Italy. The Italian cabinet ministers are in receipt of large number of cablegrams and letters from prominent Italians in New York city urg- ing moderation upon the Italian govern ment in it's treatment of the New Orleans frOIh1e
