THE OFFICIAL DISPATCHES.
The Associated Press Correspondent here
has perused the dispatches exchanged from
the outset between the government of Italy
and the governments Of the United States
in regard to the New Orleans lynchinr
Their substance 10 that Italy asks IN the
main that fair legal process should be in
stituted against the culprits, regarding
them as common assassins. Italy likewise
has asked for indemnity for the families of
the men killed in New Orleans To these
requests the United States authorities at
Washington answered that the constitution
OF the United States gave but limited
powers to the federal government
In regard to interference with the
various states of the nation, but the
United States government affirmed
Its good intentions In the matter. At this
stage OF the proceedings Baron Faya in one
of his letters to the italian government,
remarked that the above reply showed an
evident desire TO gain time, and that it was
no solution Of the question. The answer

after consigning the care Of the legation at
Washington TO the care of the first secre-
tary.
ONLY THE BEGINNING OF A RUPTURE.
Baron Fava next reported to his govern
ment that its instructions had been carried
out, and he declared that as Washington
had not fulfilled its duties as a civil govern
Washington. This action upon the part
of Baron Fava and his government is not
regarded as diplomatic rupture. 1t is
merely the first step toward such a rupture
The United States minister here, Mr..
Porter, yesterday called to see the
Italian premier, Marquis di Riduni, who,
however, was absent from his office Mr.
Porter saw the under seest-sary OF the for-
eign office, Signor D'Arco, and expressed
regrets at the action taken. Mr.. Porter
admitted that there was reason and fair
ness in the demands Of the Italian govern
ment, and promised that they should be
urged upon the United States government.
Mr. Porter finally asked the Italian gov
eminent to wait until tomorrow, hoping
thai satisfactory answer would be re-
ceived from Washington in reply to his

FAvA's LAST cABLRGRAM.
Later in the day Baron Fava cabled to
his government that the latter's note TO the
Unitsd States government had been pre-
sented and he was ready to leave Washing

faction was received from the United States
government. This is the end, so far as is
known here, of the dispatches on the New
orleans matter exchanged between the gov
ernments of Italy and the United States
THE FEELING IN ROME.
Political circles here fully indorse the
action of the Italian government. The
newspapers of this city pronounce them
selves very strongly against the action of
the United States government Influential
Italians advise the Italian government to
send a circular note to friendly powers de-
nouncing the United States as being con-
fessedly unable to insure Justice in the
United States and as impotent to fulfill the
duties of civil government. Other prom
inent Italians suggest that the italian gov
ernment should break Off all negotiations
with the government at Washington, and
that it should in the future, so far as New
Orleans lynchicgs are concerned, deal di-
rectly with the state of Louisiana, and that
the latters government should be called to
account for the killing of the Italian pris-
oners in the New Orleans jail.
THE PREMIER ARRIVES.
Marquis di Rudini arrived here from
Florence late last night, having been sum
moned by telegraph. During the course of
an interview to-day with the Associated
Press correspondent. Marquis di Rudini
said that personally he was most kindly
disposed toward the United States govern
ment, and expressed a hope that the civil
authorities of the United States wonld
not fail in their duties
toward society, justice. morality and law
Public opinion, however, he added, de-
mands more energetic course Of action. II
the United States government, he continued,
does not perceive that it is in the wrong O
diplomatic rupture is inevitable. Con-
tinuing the premier said: 1.-THE report that
Americans have been insulted and arrested
in Italy as the outcome of the present negc-
tiations Ii ridiculous and false. Americans
always receive here the best and kindest Of
hospitality, both upon the part of the
Italian government and the Italian people,
both knowing perfectly the duties of a
civilized country"
CAUSED BY POLITICAL PRESSURE.
The pressure brought to bear upon the
Marquis di Rudini, and which compelled
him TO act vigorously, was fomented by the
friends Of Signor Crispi, the late premier Of
Italy. Especially was this pressure brought
to bear by the Sicilians, who, more OF less
were either dreading or were in sympathy
with the Malta society. Their attitude has
been stiffened by the fact that leading op-
ponents Of Signor Crispi and his cabinet
openly declared that the lynching of the
Italians confined in the Jail Of New Orleans
on a charge of having been implicated in
the murder of the chief of police of that
city was just, even if il was Illegal
A HARD SLAP.
One Of these opponents Of the Crispi cab
met is charged with the authorship of
strong editorial published in the Fan fulId
to-day, which argues that the Italian gov
