THE MINISTER'S RECALL.

THE MINISTER'S RECALL.
WASHINGTON, April 1.--Secretary
Blaine, it is stated, will make al
official announcement of Baror
Fava's recall, but, in the meantime
the baron's pleasant personal rela
tions with the state department and
this country will have been severed.
It is doubtful whether, in view Of
the extraordinary circumstances OF
recall, there will be the formalities
at the White house usual upon such
an occasion as upon the recall of the
department minister.
Indeed, when this affair is looked
at from the distance of time, it will
appear to have been much hurried.
The letter from Governor Nichols to
Secretary Blaine caused the trouble.
It was received here several DAYS
ago, and copy was sent at once to
Baron Fava. This Of course, gave ii
the appearance of being the ultima
tum of this government, and it ap
pears that the baron accepted it as
such and cabled 1t in that character
to his government. Baron Fava
has worked for his home interests to
degree of appearing over.zealous at
this end of the line, but to-day de-
velopments would indicate there
could not have been too much zeal
on his part to suit his government,
which appears to have made the
matter the issue of the highest i'm
portance. Those commenting on
the surprising events of the day
agree that TO break away from this
government is not merely an act of
discourtesy, but of open hostility.
To have done it pending an inves-
tigation and the progress of the law
in New Orleans is significant, 1T is
said, of an utter disregard of conven-
tionalities and Of modern diplomacy.
Indeed, In that light, this govern
ment now has logical reason for
feeling affronted at this lack of faith
in its assusance OH the part of its
hot-headed neighbors.
THE POSITION AT PRESENT.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The As
sociated Press correspondent here
has perused thedispatohes exchanged
between the government of Italy
and the government of the United
States regarding the New Orleans
lynching. The substance of them

and legal process should be instituted
against culprits, regarding them as
common assassins. Italy likewise
asked for ldemnity for families killed
In New Orleans by the mob. To
these requests the United States au.
horities ut Washington answered.
"The constitution of the United
States gave but limited powers to
the federal government In regard to
with various states of
the Union, but the United States
government affirmed its good inten-
ions in the matter" The answer
rom Washington being regarded as
unsatisfactory, Italy instru ct e d
Baron Fava March 27th, to press the
wo original demands made upon
he United States government, and
n the event of his failing to obtain
to leave Washington
n-cog, after consignlng the cares o;
he legation at Washington to the

ROME, Italy, April 1.-The news
,apers of this city pronounce them
elves very strongly against the
