ITALY's DEMANDS.
The Associated Press correspondent here
| has perused the d spatcheS exchanged be-
tween the Government Of Italy and the Gov
ernment of the United States in regard TO
the New Orleans lynehDgs. The substance
| of them is that Italy has asked. in the main,
that fair legal process should be instituted
against the culprits. regarding then as COM
mon assassins. Italy likewise has asko d for
indemnity for the families of the men killed
| in New Orlaans by the mob. To these re-
quests the United States authorities at
Washington haye answered that the Consti-
tuition OF the United States gave but limited
| powers to tire Federal Government in regard
to interference with the various States of
the Union, but the United States Govern
ment affirmed its good intentions in the
matter.
| FAvA's INSTRUCTIONS.
The answer from Washington being re-
| Garded as unsatis factory, Italy instructed
! Baron Fava, on March 9th, to press the
| two original demands made upon the United
| States Government, aud. in the event OF his
| falling to obtain satisfaction, to leave wash
| ington after consignIng the care of the le-
| CATION at Washington 10 the First Secretary.
Baron Fava reported that his instructions
! had been carried out, and he declared that
! the United States had not fulfilled Its
! duties as a civil Government his presence
| was unnecessary at Washington. This action
uDOn the part of Fava and his Government
| is not regarded as diplomatic rupture. It's
! merely the first step toward such rupture.
| FOOLISH ADVICE.
I Political circles here fully indOrSe the ac-
| tion of the Italian Government.
Influential Italians advise the italian Gov
! ernment to send a circular note to the
| friendly powers denOuncing the United
| States as being coniessedly unable to insure
| justice III the United states. and as lmpotent
! to fulfill tue duties of civil government.
| Other prominent Italians suggest that the
| Italian Government should break of all ne
! goations with the Government at Wash
| ingtOn. aud that it should in future, so far
as the New Oleans lynchings are concerned,
| deal directly with the State of Louisiana,
| and that the latter'S Government should be
called to account for the killing Of the Ital-
| ian prisoners.
DI RUDINI SUMMONED.
Marquis Di Rudini, the Italian Premier,
| arrived here from Florence late last night,
having been summoned by telegraph. In
| the course Of an interview to-day with the
| ASNltidltl IL ItSS correspondent, Tue hdluulo
| hi Rudini said that personally he WAS most
| kindly disposed toward the United States
| Government. and expressed the hope that
| the civil authorities Of the United States
would not fail in their duties toward society,
! Justice, morality aud law. Pubic opinion,
| however, he added, demands more ener-
| getic course of action. Ii the United States
| Government he continues, does not per-
| ceive it IS in the wrong, diplomatic rupture
| is inevitable. Continuing, the Premier said:
| hat ma "a n
| suited and arrested in Italy an outcome
| of the present negotiations is ridiculous and
| false. Americans always receive here the
| best and kndest hospitality. both upon the
| part of the Italian Government and the
! Italian people, both Knowing perfectly the
duties Of a civilized country"
WORK OF THE MAFIA.
The pressure brought to bear upon Mar
! quis di Rudini, and which compelled him 10
act vigorously, was fOmented by friends OF
Signor CriSpi, late Premier Of Italy. Espe-
| cialy was this pressure brought to bear by
| the Siciiians, who were either dreading or
! were in sympathy with the Mada society.
| Their attitude, stifftned by the fact that the
leading opponents of hi Rudini and his
| cabinet have openly declared that the lynch
| ing of the Italians confined In the jail at
| New Orleans on a charge OF having been
| implicated in the murder Of the Chief OF
Police of that city was just, even If 1t was
| Illegal.
| SENSIBLE VIEW.
One of these opponents of the Di Rudlni
| Cabinet is charged with the authorship IF
strong editorial published in Fanfulla to-
day, which argued that the Italian Govern
| meut would do well to suppress crime IN
Italy before meddling with the punishment
of murdererS in New Orleans; These
critics, however, feel that the weak point of
| the United States case IS that brlOed jurors
| acquitted he asSasSlns.
I'll we believe the American contention"
said an Italian Senator TO the press cor
| respondent, (which, as | personally he
ieve, is we'll founded, that the evidence
convicted the men who are acquitted, We
| are put in this unpleasant position: Italy
cannot condone the lynching without as
suming the guilt and venalty OF the New
| Orleans court. international comfy fOrbIdS
Us to assume that Chief of Police Hen
! nessy's murderers were tried by venal,
| corrupt tribunal. Such an assumption
would be an Insult TO the United States,
although Americans are quite at liberty to

| MINISTER PoRTER'S INTERCEssION.
United States Minister Porter yesterday
called to see the Marquis di Rudini, the
| Italian Premier, who, however, was absent
from the city. Mr. Porter then saw the Un-
der Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Signor
| Darco. The United States Minister ex-
pressed regret at tile fact that the Italian
| Government had thought fit to recall Baron
| Fava, and, generally speaking, thought the
United States Government would not deny
any request of the Italian Government If
there was reason and fairness in such de-
mGnds. Porter also promised to place be-
| fore the United States Government at
| Washington the substance Of the converse
ton which took place between himself and
Signor Darco. Incidentally, Porter also
| suggested that the Italian Government
should wait before taking further action, in
the hope that a satisfactory answer might
be received from Washington.
DARCo GETS EXCITED.
Before Mr.. Porter left Signor Darco's
Office the latter said: Suppose a dozen
| American citizens were murdered in an
Italian city ana we pleaded impotence to
punish the murders because the city in
which the murders occurred enjoyed an au-
| tonumous form OF government what opinion
would you in the United States and what
| opinion would the civilized world at large
have in regard to our plea"
Porter thereupOn tried to make clear to
| Darco the relations of the Federal Govern
ment to the individual States as fixed by the
Constitution. but Darco vas not satisfied
and replied with heat: eve have nothing
tU do with your Constitution. Ii it is found
wanting you must mend it. You know it is
no Constitution worthy of a free, civilized
country if it does not insure punishment for
crime and protection for the weak"
PRESS MODERATION.
The evening papers comment briefly on
the Faya incident, their utterances being
| marked by calmnsss and moderation. Tue
Opinione and 0bservatUre Romano simply
| publish the kilograms from America.
Fanfula asks whether Baron Fava could
return to his post if Italy limited her de-
mand for reparation to the payment of in
| demnity to the relatives of the murdered
men. adding: This is the only satisfaction
the United States Government is in po-
stiOn to give"
Italie says the Italians and citizens of the
| United States have the greatest interest in
maintaining friendly relations, and it will
be best for the two Governments to come to
an understanding as quickly as possible.
THE ROYAL FAMILY EMBARRASSED.
The position of the court of King Hum
bert of Italy during the present strained re-
| latons existing between Italy and the United
States is unpleasant. The court at present
| is unduly exposed to malevolent attacks,
owing to the known and much commented
