FOREIGN PRESS OPINIONS.
What 10 Said Abroad Of the Diplomatic
Situation.

The PopoIo Romano OF Rome, the leading
organ of the opposition, declares that the en-
tire country approves the recall of Baron Fava,
and after dwelling upon the tact OF the italian
press in refraining from hampering diplomatic
action, and its dignified attitude in the face Of
the polemics Of American journals, says:
"Baron Fava's note could not have been
couched in more dignifed or more temperate
language. We still hope that the United States
will afford Italy satisfaction. When Americans
are the offended parties satisfaction is de-
manded because the persons concerned are cit
liens of the Union; but when the offended par
ties are foreigners the Union throws the re-
sponsibility npon the offending state. AL Eu-
rope will uphold our demands. II we cannot
obtain the solemn rights which one great
people owes to another. we will at least allow
ourselves the satisfaction Of sending back Amer
lean vessels filed with wheat for our markets
and returning to the Yankee breeders their tri-
chinous meat"
The Don Chisciotte Della Mdncia saws: at
will be matter for grief and shame il civil
lied government should not realize duties SO
elementary as those Of prosecuting assassins
and indemnifying the families of victims who
have fallen through the impotence OF its own
rule"
The clerical paper, Voce Della Veyita, holds
that the step of Baron Fava will lead to no
useful results, the recall being purely a pla-
tonic protest due to pressure upon the Italian
government from withdrawing the in
tiuence of secret societies.
The Ttidtt,a says: I'VE do not believe that
any complications need be feared. The de-
mands OF Italy are SO moderate that a solution
satisfactory TO both countries might be found
before Baron Fava's departure from America.
Italy only asks an act of justice and free,
civilized country cannot refuse this long" he
ferring to Minister Porter interview with Sig
nor u Arco the 1ytbttnd says: Minister Por-
ter expressed displeasure at the determination
OF Baron tava to quit the United States. He
urged that many difficulties were in the way of
direct action by the central government Ill
forcing the authorities Of Louisiana to prose-
cute the lynchers of the Italians. as the Fed
eral Constitution did not interfere with the
administration of justice in individual states.
Slgnor ID Arco gave Minister Porter to under
stand that the Constitution could not be set up
as plea In negotiations with third party and
that Italy would, without any preconceived
hostility, firmly adhere to her position"
The evening papers comment briefly on the
incident. Their utterances are marked by
calmness and moderation. The Opini0,se and
the Oose1-rdtoTe Romano simply publish the
kilograms received from America. The Fan
fttttd asks whether Baron Fava could return to
his post if Italy limited her demands for repa-
ration to the payment Of an indemnity to the
relatives OF the murdered men, adding: This
is the only satisfaction which the United States
government is in position to give, as it hes no
means OF bringing the guilty to justice" The
Nalie says that Italians and citizens of the
United States have the greatest interest in
best for the two governments to come TO an
understanding as quickly as possible.
THE LONDON PRESS.
The Times satirically comments on the ways
Of the American newspapers, which it says
proudly boast of Americas superior interest
to the outer world, yet in this matter every
body il interviewed and there is such dutter
that the raciest domestic scandals fail to excite
any interest, and q modest diplomatist who
hitherto was almost obscure is now Us famous
as IL puSilist OF an opera singer. The Times
thinks that the assertion that Premier di Rudini
Is playing to the gallery is correct, but, it
adds, nobody is such an adept at this sort OF
newspapers are probably right in thus speaking
OF the Italian premier, US long familiarity with
the symptoms has made their diagnosis infal-
lible. The paper concludes with IN expression
Of surprise that King Humbert, considering all
the advantages that Italy enjoys in her friend
ship with America, should allow anything be-
yond u temporary cloud to intervene between
them.
The Telegraph says: ut could scarcely ap-
pear practical to Italy to be told that it is I'M
certain whether the murdered men wore Ital-
ians while they were lynched and the lynch
ing was palliated on the ground that they were
| members OF an Italian secret society. The
contrast between the savage precipitancy of the
slayers, the complacency of the municipal
authorities Of New Orleans and the deliberate
skepticism of Mr.. Blaine might well have moved
| u less high-spirited nation than Italy to res
dilute measures. We are deeply grievsd to de-
clare that the opinion Of the civilized world
| ranges itself against America. 1t is scarcely
wise for American papers to bluster. The ltal-
| ian navy Is in q condition Of the highest ell
cheney. The hope OF speedy and equitable
adjustment OF this perilous quarrel hes with
,ns yS,s body OF upright and feeling
prospec: that King Huinbert viii abats his
Just demands"
The Post asks: "what II the alleged bribing
of jurors bad been the other wsy?" And says;
