must mend it. You know it is no con.
 stitution worthy of a free civilized
 country if it does not enforce punish
 ment for crime."
 Late in the day Baron Fava sent a
 cable to Marquis Di Rudini stating that
 he had seen the President and there
 was an improvement in the outlook of
 the affair.
 All rumors circulated in the United | States that number of Americans had
 been detained here as hostages for the future good treatment of Italians in the | United States, are classed as April Fool
 jokes of very bad taste.
 PUBLIC OPINION IN ITALY.
 Public opinion here awaits the issue of negotiations in a most tranquil frame of mind. The tenor of Baron Favia's
 note to Secretary Blaine is, that what Italy asked and still asks is the Federal
 uovernuient's guarantee that regular legal proceedings will be taken against all cuiprlts in the New Orleans lyncning; i; also that the Federal Government VIII admit in principle It's obligation 10 pay indemnity to the families oi the victims.
 The note adds that Italy cannot and IS not called upon to discuss American institutions, but must urge upon the Federal Government the observation of the principles of international law. italy hopes the Federal Government will ap- preciate the obligations incumbent upon It and, as the Government of civilized country, heed Itaiy's just demands. h not. as the Kings minister, he must, by order of ms Government, withdraw from that post where his legitimate actions have proved notifications.
 lt is believed that unless Favia re- ceives a favorable reply he will leave Washington.
 Political circles fully endorse the &C., ton oi the Government. The news papers pronounce themselves very strongly against the action of the United States Government. Influential Italians advise their Government to send cir cular note to friendly powers denounc- ing the United States as being confess edly unable to insure justice in the United States and as impotent to fultili the duties of civil government.
 Other prominent Italians suggest that the Italian Government should break of All negotiations with the Government al Washington and that it should in future, so far as the New Orleans lynching is concerned, deal directly with the State of Louisiana and that the latter's gov ernment be called to account foEskilling the Italian prisoners.

 ROME, April l.-Marquis Di Rudini, Italian Premier, arrived from Florence late last night, having been summoned bStelegraph. The Italian cabinet met today to resolve upon what further steps should be taken.
 In the course of an interview today with the Associated Press correspondent, the Marquis Di Rudini said that, per sonally, he was most kindly disposed towards the United States Government, and expressed hope that the civil authorities of the United States would not fail in their duty.
 Public opinion, however," he added, demands more energetic course of &C., tion. If the United States Government does not perceive it is in the wrong, a diplomatic rupture is inevitable"
 Continuing, the Premier said: "The report that Americans had been insulte and arrested in Italy as an outcome ui the present negotiations, is ridiculous and false"
 The pressure brought to bear upon the | Marquis Di Rudini, and which compelled | him 10 act vigorously, has been fomented | by the friends of Signor Ciispi, late Pre- mier of Italy.
 The leading opponents of Crispi and l his cabinet openly declared the lynching of the Italians confined in jail at New Orleans to have been just. even if It was | illegal. One of these opponents of Cris- pi's cabinet is charged with the author ship of a strong editorial published in tho Foufulta today, which argued that the Italian Government 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 in the United States case is that bribed jurors acquit- ted the assassins. ''If we believe the American contention," said an Italian Senator to press correspondent. Italy cannot condone the lynching without assuming the guilt and venality of the New Orleans court"
 INSPECTING THE CORRESPONDENCE.
 ROME, April 1.-The Associated Press here perused the dis patches exchanged between the Govern nent of Italy and the Government of the United States in regard to the New Orleans lynching.
 The substance thereof is that Italy asked in the main that fair legal pro- cess be instituted against the culprits, them as common assassins. Italy likewise asked for indemnity for he families of the men killed in New Orleans by the mob.
 To these requests the United States authorities answer that the Constitution ,f the United States confers but limited powers on the Federal Government in 'egard to interferences with the various States in the Union, but the United States Government affirmed its good in- ,ention in the matter.
 The answer from Washington being 'egarded as unsatisfactory, Italy in- ,tructed Baron Fava, March 27, to press the two original demands made ipon the United States Government, md, in the event of his failing to obtain to leave Washington en ;onge after consigning the care of the egation there to the first secretary.
 In an.intervew today prominent of- icial of the foreign office said, since Mir. porter's request for delay, it is to be ioped the American press, having re- ,eived precise information as to the sit iation, will endeavor to contribute to a 'olution with the same spirit as shown
