PROBABLE EXPLANATION.
The ministerial crisis in Italy in which
Sgnor Crispi the Prime Minister, was over
! thrown. Is a recent event. which II Is pointed
| ont throws some light on Baron Fava's recall.
! The present italian ministry, ever since IFS
assumption Of the reins Of government, has
/ been opposed by the powerful minority party
with Sienor Crispi at It's head. The killing Of
/ the Italians in New Orleans gave 1t, in
| TIE excited state OF public feeling, power
! with which 10 belabor the ministry.
| The tedious channels Of diplomacy were too
slow to satisfy the Italian people that justice
| would be done 10 their countryInen IN the
/ United States and the Government 10 appease
| the populace and at the same time to show in
| certain sense its disapprOval Of what IT con-
| sidered the lack Of heart shown by the United
States Government in bringing the murdercrs
| Of the Italians 10 justice recalled Baron Faya.
1t was" said a prominent official. a
/ move for home consumption" This view IS
| the prevalent one in official circles No ex-
! citement is Obscr vable among officials. The
/ President was at the Executive Mansion sur
rounded by his family and had received no
visitors since Secretary Blaine left at about 2
o'clock.
MENTIONED. But NOT DISCUSSED.
/ The subject of Baron Fava's recall was men,
| toned in the Cabinet meeting, but it was not
I considered of sufficient Importance to be dis
cussed, end II 1t bad not followed on the heels
Of the Malta troubles in New Orleans said the
] same high official quoted above, II would
have not occasioned any stir at all.
Baron Fava must. according 10 diplomatic
etiquette present his letters of recall to Presi
/ dent Harrison before seyerng his connection
with the Government. 1t Is said by persons
well versed IN diplomatic matters that fail
ure to present this letter would be n direct
slight TO the Government. A Minister when
about TO present his letter of recall IS accom-
panied to the Executive Mansion
by the Secretary OF State and
after the Minister has presented his
letters and few remarks explanatory of them
the President usually makes a short co1apli-
mentary speech expressing his regret at the
ministers withdrawal and hope that pleasant
relations will continue between the two coun-
tries IL remains TO be seen what will be done
i'm this regard before Baron Faya leaves Wash
ingtOn.
"soP" TO THE ITALIANS.
While Secretary Blaine, for reasons Of deli
cacy. declined to express himself, the TINES
correspondent has good authority for assert
ing that Ao regards the withdrawal OF Baron
Fava ~ simply sop" to the Italian people.
lie further believes TOO that it was prompted
as much 10y Italian politics rs 10y any other
/ consideration. The RudIni admnistIa-
ton is being ferccly pursued by
Cdspi and his followers and they
were making use of the New Orleans affair 10
drive Rudui from power They were melting
/ the constant camOr and the demand that the
Government should take some positive action.
/ IN tins dilemma Rudini recalled his Minister
in the hope Of winning popular applause IN
/ Italy.
Secretary Blaine not only takes this view,
/ but hc further holds that Rudini has com
mitted a fatal diplomatic blundcr that IN At
tempting 10 appease popular clamor 10y All act
of simple bravado he has involved himself in
% sca Of diplomatic troubles which Will finally
swamp him The Secretary thinks that
Crisp will continue 20 excite the clamor. and
that IL will dennnd that the recall of the
Minister be followed by other demonstrat've
acts against this Government. As the next
act i'm tine limo of policy Is war Secretary
Blaine docs not believe that the hudim Gov
eminent would go TO that extreme or that they
ever contemplated 10. Hence with the re-
fu,nl 0r neglect 10 enforce the violent policy
demanded by the Italian populace the Rudml
Government will fall. These nrc the views OF
Premier Blaine. though lie does not care to
publicly declare them.
