 osignedD JAMES G. BLAINE.
 The fact that Secretary Blaine addressed his letter to the Marquis Imperiali, charge d'affaires, is of significance as demonstrat- | ing that this government does not regard the rupture of diplomatic relations, caused by Baron Fava's recall, as complete. Had the view been taken the communication would have been addressed to the Italian government direct or through the medium of Minister Porter at Rome. How the matter is viewed by the Italian govern ment will be disclosed by the re- ply that is made to the secretary's letter. If the charge d'afaires replies as such it must be construed as an acknowledgment that the Italian govern ment is still represented in the United States by it's legation. But if he an | nounces that he is without authority to l reply and suggests @ transmittal of the secretary's communication to Rome, it may be taken as an evidence that direct diplomatic relations between the two coun- tries are at an end. A careful perusal of the secretary's letter seems to warrant the ] assumption that from the very beginning l of the correspondence and negotiations l on the subject treated the Italian l minister assumed an aggressive attitude. The secretary says that the baron 'hss more than once intimated this purpose" (to depart speedily which clearly demon strates that the minister has threatened to leave Washington early in the negotia- tions instead of pursuing the negotiations in the cautious and diplomatic manner that might be expected in case where the facts were still officially unknown to the United States government, although it had taken all proper steps to secure speedy reply from it's own officers in ad- dition to any statements that might come from the authorities of Louisiana. WHY FAvA WAS RECALLED.
 ROME, April I'm an interview to-day prominent official of the foreign office said that in view of the calm, reticent confidence in the government which the Italian press displayed it was difficult to understand the diffusion in America of fantastic rumors such as that of the deten- tion of Americans as hostages He then said: "Baron Fava's departure is the logi- cal consequence of his failure to obtain satisfaction for his just demands in regard to the lynching of Italians, whose nation ality had been regularly established. Since hoped that the American press, having re- ceived precise information as to the situa- tion, will endeavor to contribute to the solution of the problem the same equanimity shown by Italian journals Italy is sincere friend of America, and I am bound to hope for a settlement in ac- cordance with justice and equity and with the friendly cordiaity and moderation be- fitting both nations. King Humbert's representative could not, however, be al- lowed to quietly look on while the guilty simply because the United States govern ment declined to insure their being brought to trial"
 Referring to Minister Porter's interview with Signor d'Arco the Tribuna says:
 Minister Porter expressed displeasure at the determination of Baron Fava to quit the United States. He urged that many difficulties were in the way of direct action by the central government in forcing the authorities of Louisiana to prosecute the lynchers of the Italians, as the fedora! con- stitution did not interfere with the admin istration of justice in individual states. Signor d'Arco gave Minister Porter to un- derstand that the constitution should not be set up as plea with negotiations with @ third party, and that Italy would with out any preconceived hostility firmly ad- here to her position.
 In its issue tomorrow the Popollo Ro- mano, the leading organ of the opposi ton, will declare that the entire country approves the recall of Baron Fava and af- ter dwelling upon the tact of the Italian press in refraining from hampering diplo- matic action and it's dignifed attitude in face of the pulemics of American jour nals, will say:
 Baron Fava's note could not have been couched in more dignifed or more tenn perate language. We hope that the United States will afford Italy satisfac- ton. When Americans are the offend ed parties satisfaction is demanded, because the persons concerned are citizens of the union; but when the offend ed parties are foreigners the union throws
 
 All Europe will uphold our demands. If we cannot obtain the solemn rights which one great people owes to another we will at least allow ourselves the satisfaction of sending back American vessels filled with wheat for our markets and returning to the Yankee breeders their trichinous meat"
 The Don Chisciotte Della Mancha will say: It will be a matter for grief and cho otx A,,f eho,, not realize duties so elementary as those of prosecuting assassins and indemnifying the families of victims who have fallen through the impotence of it's own rule. The clerical paper, Voce Della Verita, holds that the step of Baron Fava will lead to no useful result, the recall being purely platonic protest due to pressure upon the Italian government from within-meaning the influence of secret societies. MORE PRESS COMMENT. ROME, April 1.-The evening papers of this city comment briefly on the Fava in cident. Their utterances are marked by calmness and moderation. The Opinione and the Osservatore Romano simply pub l fish the telegrams received from America. The Fanfulla asks whether Baron Fava could return to his post if Italy limited her demands for reparation to the payment of an indemnity to the relatives of the mur- dered men, adding:
 ''This is the only satisfaction which the | United States government is in a position to give, as it has no means of bringing the l guilty to justice."
 The Italie says that Italians and citizens of the United States have the greatest in terest in maintaining friendly relations, l and it will be best for the two governments to come to an understanding as quickly ss possible.
 LONDON, April 1.-The St. James, Ga zette this evening referring to the recall of Baron Fava, the Italian minister at Wash ington, says that the withdrawal of Baron Fava is the next thing to declaring war and that Italy evidently ment to convey to the United States that Italy had become a great power and was not to be trifed with, "even by big person like Brother Jona- than"
 The same paper says: It is not to be sup posed that Italy will send her great iron clads to the Mississippi, though if she did the Americans have no ships which could face the Lepanto and the Duillo for forty minutes.
 The Evening Standard, discussing the same subject, remarks that the trouble will blow over shortly and that the Americans
