An italian Organ Says Come What May,
Isaiy Has Done Her Duty.
New YORK, March 3I.-The italian pa
per II Procress0 IidlO Americana published
in this city, referring to the recall of Min
lister Fava says:
1t is certainly one Of the most serious and
solemn steps which could have been taken by
the government in the present circumstances
against America, which has for so many years
been. friendly nation. Yet we do not
wonder ut the action, Tor II as but
the natural consequences OF the opprobriOus
manner in which the state of louisiana answer
ed Secretary Blaine, OF the weakness oil the
supreme federal authority in the face OF the ar
rogsnt bearing of Governor Nicholas; OF the In
famous, increditable impunity accorded 10 the
lynchers and the instiqat0rs OF .he lynohlng,
following Itsly's demand for satisfaction.
The massacre of the Italians at New Orleans
took place March Il; it is now the LIST of
April. aud surely in sixteen days some
thing could have been done by the fed
eral government, something moro serious.
more etficacious, a mere act OF
courtesy to prove aud TO show that the
treaties of friendship and protection between
Italy and America were not child's play, and
that their solemn obligations, signed and
sworn to upon paper. should be respected and
maintained both in fact and, if occasion re-
qure, by force.
Decrying and denonnclng the lynching
in very lengthy article IL Pnogresso con-
cludes:
"Italy has done its duty and the colony has
cordially approved and we hope and believe
That II has measured and weighed oil the con.
sequences of the act which, whether we will
or not, is an open rupture OF the diplomatic
relations between Italy and America and the
first step towards al armed demonstration.
PHILADELPHIA, March 3l.-The Reco,
tomorrow will say editorially:
Unless the Italian government have informa-
ton not yet in possession of the state au-
thority in Louisiana. and means OF anticipat-
ing the Gction of the courts, the Withdrawal
OF Baron Fava would seem to be ahasty proceed
ing. The United States will not shirk any due
responsibility incurred through the outbreak ut
New Orleans, but the tender of reparation or
the refusal of 1t will not be fastened an instant
by the threatening attitude assumed by Italy
should the report of Baron Fava's action prove
true.
The North american will say:
A rupture Of diplomatic relations by Italy
does not indicate anything serious, and IL Is
not at all unlikely that the recall of the baron,
| who is a survival OF the Crispi government, is
made to enable Rudini to manage foreign af-
fairs through men selected by himself.
New YORK, March 3l.-The Herald will
| say:

italian government is as unwarranted as 1t Is
| hasty and extraordinary. 1t looks rs II the

| has been limited, the move was designed merely
for home political buncomDe. By the United
States IL is hardly to be regarded rs courteous,
and might possibly be construed into an
alront.
New YORK, March 3l.-The Times says:
The Italians in New Orleans were not
slaughtered because they were Italians, but
because they were, like pirates, enemies OF the
human race, whom, through their own cor
ruption, the laws OF the country had failed TO
punish. Whatever may be the views and
whatever the action of the italian government
Mr.. Blaine and the administration may feel
perfectly well assured that the people OF the
United States will support them in resisting
claim for damages, and TO any extent.
New York, April 1.-The Sun says:
OF course there is not going to be war. Italy
cannot very well go to war tor the purpose of
making the United States alter its cOnStiiu-
ton. There is no rupture. only little strain.
No citizen of the United States is hostile to Italy
or Italians. The Malta Is a scoundrelly insti-
tuition. The United States cannot punish a
New Orleans mob any more than 1t can punish
a New Orleans policeman for prigging banana
from fruit stand.
LONDON, March 3l.-The Daily Neirs is
the only paper of this city which contains
any comments this morning of the recall
of Baron Fava, the Italian minister at
Washington. The Ne'os thinks that the
authorities of Louisiana cannot bring the
lynchers of the Italian prisoners TO trial
aud that therefore the dead lock between
the United States and Italy will continue
unless the latter country abates its demand
for satisfaction for the killing OF its sub
