Paris. April 2o-Bsron Fava. the Italian Minister
at Washington, who recently left the United States on
leave Of absence, has arrived here his way Rome
The sole" declares that the Baron is much annoyed
at the action Of the United States regard to the New
Orleans affair. According 10 that paper Baron Fava
while his way across the Atlantic, assured several
Of his fellow passengers on board La Gascogne, the
steamship upon which he left New York for Havre, that
the Marquis mpea d Francsvilla, the Italian Charge
d'Afaires at Washington. would be recalled. Italy,
the Baron is said TO have added, would not have a
diplomatic representative at Washington until the New
orleans affair finally settled
Rome April 2O-The newspapers OF this city are
complaining bitterly Of what they term the leisurey
manner" of Mr.. Blaine in replying TO the communca-
tons Of the Italan Government relative to the New
Orleans affair They seem to forget In Italy that
using the usual means Of communication between
Governments, it takes three weeks for Italy and the
United States to exchange communications. They
also to forget that the United States has lust as
good grounds for complaint against the Italian Gov
erDment the papers say the latter has against the
American Secretary OF State Take for instance the case
Of the Italian Salvatore Paadna. The American Gov
ernment demanded that this offender against the laws
OF the United States who had fed to Italy. be extra
ded to stand trial upon the charge counterfeitlng
The italian Government two weeks after the receipt
Of this demand, asked the American Legation here
what citizenship Palsdina claimed, whether American
Italian. In response to this question the American
Legation stated on the day that the request for
information was received that Peladna claimed to be
italian subject. This was the last heard Of the
matter for two months when In answer to the United
states Governments request for the extradition Of
Paladna, the italian Government said that the
stuton and laws Of Italy did not allow OF the carry
ing of the treaty existing between Italy and the
United States so far the extradtion of italians was
concerned
Italy again took this position relative to the italian
constitution and laws when the United States eubse-
quenty demanded the eXtradition Of the two Italians
who implicated in tho murder Of Paymaster
Mcclure, employe of contractor who was engaged
in constructing railroad near Wlkesbarre, Penn,
and Hugh Flanagan, another empoye OF the same con-
tractor who killed and robbed of sum of money
which the paymaster had TO pay laborers. For this
crime a third italian convicted and executed by
the Pennsylvania authorities. His two accOmplices
made the escape the United States and returned
to Italy but the italian Government refused to sur
render them for trial. basng It's refusal on the
ground that 1t wOud be exta-constitutional TO sur
render italian subjects for trial in foreign country
Washington April 2O--The Department Of Justice is
in receipt Of a letter from DsrictAttccney William
Grant, at New-Oreans, who was requested by IT to
ascertain the nationality Of the Italians who were
killed there last month, the circumstances under which
they came to this country etc The DstrictAttOrney
says he has encountered much more difficulty In
getting Of the particulars in the case than he
had anticipated, which has resulted in delaying his
report These particulars refer TO the nationality of
the He has made request to the Department
for certain information in connection with the matter
The declarations attributed TO Baron Fava may have
been uttered by him. STILL there are some reasons
for dstrusng their absolute correctness. In the first
place, they have been published by only LIE Solel
Paris paper, which has exceedingly small crcul1r
ton and which is the recognized official organ OF the
Monarchcal party, of the Orleans family. Ii was 10
be expected: of course, that such paper would sde
with the Italian monarchy rather than with the Amer
can Republic, in regard to the New-Oresns matter
On the other hand supposing that Baron Fava Is
a diplomat Of little weight, IL is unlikely that he
should have INDUCED in talk about an important
matter like the IalOAmerican dispute with his fellow
passengers on the transatlantic steamer. Tie young
est apprentice in diplomacy would not have babbled
Baron Fava is said 10 have done by his awkward friend
lie SOell"-and proclaimed in the smoklDg-r0om OF
La Gascogne that his successor, the Italian Charge
d. Aaires at Washington, would be recalled and dplO
matte relations suspended between America and Italy
until the New-Oreans affair should have been finally
settled.
