 The Italian Minister Recalled as .
 Result Of the New Orleans Affair."
 Diplomatic Negotiations Brought to
 an End-Governor Nichols Letter to
 Secretary Elaine Considered Evasive
 and Unsatfsfactory by Italy - De-
 pertinent Officials Reticent.
 WASHINGTON, March 31.-With an off cial note dated to-day Baron Fava, the Italian minister, has declared to the secre- tary of state that the United States gov ernment, not having given assurances that the murderers of the Italian subjects, &C., quilted by the American magistrates and murdered in prison while under the inn mediate protection of the authorities of New Orleans would be brought to justice, the Italian government has found itself under the painful necessity of showing openly it's dissatisfaction by recalling the minister of his majesty from country where the Italian representative is unable to obtain justice. The baron will soon leave the United States, leaving the secre- ta1y of legation in charge of the current affairs.
 OFFICIAL CIRCLES SURPRISED.
 The action by the Italian minister caused the deepest surprise when the fact became known. It had been supposed that the Italian government would at least await the action of the New Orleans grand jury which is charged with an in vestigation of the bloody episode at the New Orleans jail. It appears, however, that the information received from it's representatives must have led that govern ment to the conclusion that the grand jury investigation would fail to result in the punishment or even indictment of any person connected with the killing of the Italians. The letter of Governor Nichols in reply to Secretary Blaine was, also, it is thought, regarded as evasive of the real point at issue-reparation for an alleged wrong-and the governors assur- ances that further bloodshed would not follow, unaccompanied by any excuse for the failure of the state or municipal authorities to take precautions to pre- vent the killing, was, it is said, regarded dissatisfaction. It appeared to it that the United States had exhausted its re- sources.
 GOVERNMENT AND STATE RELATIONS.
 The relations between the national gov ernment and the governments of the states were so fixed by the American constitution that when the Italian minister, ,obeying the commands of his government, sought for some assurance that the persons concerned in the killing of its subjects would be pun ished it was not possible for the general government to give any definite assurance of the kind. It could and did not point out the fact that the grand jury was the American provision for calling before the bar of justice the persons who had violated the law of the land. But this particular grand jury was called together under the laws of the sovereign state of Louisiana, and whether or not it would punish &C., cording to the Italian idea of justice was something that no national official from the president down could guarantee.
 ITALY NOT SATISFIED.
 The Italian government was not satis- fled with such views, with the relations between the state and national govern ments and the peculiarities of our consti- tutional form of government But it was necessary, according to it's views, that Italian citizens in foreign countries should be accorded the full measure of protection fixed by the laws of those countries. Here was @ case where, according to the state l ment of the minister, the Italian subjects had been arrested on a charge of crimes and acquitted by an American jury accord | ing to the forms of American law. These men, declared innocent by judicial trib- | unal, had been slain by an angry people. | The Italian government could not go be- l hind the verdict of the American courts, ! and, notwithstanding it was stated in some quarters that the men were really | guilty of foul assassination and had been acquitted by means of bribery, in the eye 1 of the Italian government they were inno cent Italian subjects. In their violent killing the Italian people had been outraged l and insulted.
 l BUT ONE RECOURSE.
 The United States government had failed to give definite assurance that reparatio1 would be made. There was but one re course and that was taken to-day when thu Italian minister notified Mr. Blaine that h. had been recalled because his governmen was dissatisfied with the negotiations Thi is the Italian view of the matter.
 There was a commotion among the stat department officials when the fact becam
 known that Baron Fava had been recalled
 They did not know it officially-save tn
 secretary-before the close of office hours for the secretary was confined to his hom
 and by recurrence of his old nalady, an did not send word to his 1ieutenants in tn
 department. But he did manage to ge
 into his carriage about 4 o'clock and driv
 over to the White house, where he told tn
 president all that had occurred and dii
 cussed the future prospects. He staye
 with the president for an hour and whe
 he returned to his home he was not ac
 cessible.
 OFFICIALS WOULD NOT TALK. 1 The state department officials did nc care to talk about the matter. MT. Wha
