WASHINGTON, D. O., March 91.-Ai
soon asst became noised about that Baron
Fava had presented a letter Of recall al
the State Department wild rpmors be.
gan to fly about the city to the effect
that Italy had inaugarated a serioul
policy OF reciprocity by the Wholesale
incarceration Of American citizens IN
Italy. The first was that eighteen Amer
leans had been seized and imprisoned in
Rome to be held as hostages. Then this
was superseded by one to the effect that
che outrage against Americans had beeu
perpetrated in Florence and It was said
that others had suffered the Same fate in
Italy, and that in all cases the Italian
officials refused to give the imprisoned
persons any reasons for their arrest.
Careful inquiry at the Department ol
State, however, fails to disclose more
than two complaints OF this character
during the past six months, Moreover
they appsar to be devoid Of features
calculated to give rise to international
complications.

Il ts considered as highly probable
that the recent changes in the Italian
cabinet may have had much to do with

qnis Rnsini, who has assumed the Pre-.
miership, is supposed to be open to the
influence Of popular clamor, and TO de-
sire to receive reputation with the
masses by catering to the demand OF q

rate, It is felt that the present state Of
affairs Is only temporary, and there Is
no disposition or intention TO take
hasty action on the part Of this Govern.
Certainly Mr.. Porter, the United
States Minister to Italy, will not be re.
called, and this Government will main.
