TN5CLENCE OF THE GOVERN
MENp AT ROME TOWARD
MIN 1STER PORTER.
BLAIGE's GEPLY TO BARON FAVA
5t7iians J"GIng Their Government to
DouOuuce ne United States to Other
Powers Blaine Shows Up Italian
Absurdity.

New YORK, April 1.-The Times says
the Italian government wishes to make it
self the defender and vindicator of person
Nho we've isjlled for the assassination O
Chief Hamessey and it wishes to constitute
itself claimant for damages in their be
half, it must first assume certain clearly
GeGneC obligations. For one, it must dem
0nsJraLe ihnt the victims of the mob or some
Of them were Italian citizens. That poin
IS IN doubt. Next, it will have to answer
the question whether any or all of these
men haG d record of criminality and law
breaking y italy; whether they were OIL
we're not members of band of murderer!
and assassln- in their native country; anC
whether their native country sent them
here because deportation was cheaper than
hangiu= o short, and speaking of the
question o,ornationally as men view it hui
namely, tb. Italian government cannot go
rim pres ing its claim for compensation in
che cases without virtually constituting it
sci he HppOgist and defender of the cut
;nI3Gts O the Malta.
WHAT AN ITALIAN CONSUL SAYS.
PuuADE ia, Pa, April 1.-The Italian
consul here Nnows nothing of the reason
.J- firJu ur fava's recall. Speaking OF
the possible outcome of the disturbance at
New Orleans the consul said: Il do not
know wn.' reparation my government
1u."h ASK ptovided the United States fails
To cake a,g action in the matter. Ger
La.rly ln2 rand taken by the government
Jf hJusltna has not been diplomatic. The
irst mora! rnparatiou that can be made in
anaGlir u lat kind is the arrest of the
leader Of the mob. That certainly has not
been douoll this case"

rlt srn. ance of the dispatches ex-

TO these requests the United States au

United states gave but limited powers to
