The Hawaiian Treaty.

OF Hawaii expects to leave Washington
on Thursday, April ,, for New York.
whence ne will go West and during the
summer viii visit Honolulu. The Minis
ter called On Secretary Blaine TO paw his
respects and to say good-by. Tonight
Carter said that IN communications TO
his Government he had called its atten-
ton 10 what the United States is doing
with the South American republics on
the subject OF more intimate trade rela-
tons and had recommended fuller reci-
proclty between the United States and
Hawaii. His suggestions, he said. have,
so lar as he knows, been looked upon
favorably. No positive action. however,
has been taken with respect to the re-
commentators. He will probably dis
cuss the subject with the Government
officials when he reaches home this
summer. Minister Carter saws that the
old treaty between the United States
and Hawaii has four or FIVE years to run,
and no new treaty las been drafted or
negotiated.
A War CIoud Over the New
II Orleans Affair.
At the time Of our last advices there
was every indication that the trouble be-
tween the Italian and United States
governments growing out Of the lynch
ing OF eleven murderous members OF the
Malta society at New Orleans had passed
by; but IL seems that King Hum bert
was only nursing his wrath and getting
ready TO make himself disagreeable. On
March 3lst the country Was startled br
dispatch from Washington saying that
Baron Fava, the Italian Minister to this
country, had presented MS recall by the
Italian Government and demanded his
passport. The reason given for his recall
was that King Humbert was dissatisfied
with the slow progress OF the adjustment
OF the New Orleans affair The depart
ment WAS very much surprised, as tie
investigation into the matter had not
been completed and the United States
had not given the Italian government
a hnal answer to its demands.
AT the same time il was reported that
eighteen Americans had been seized by
orders OF the King at Rome and held as
hostages pending the settlement OF the
difficulty. This, however, proved to be
false.
The demands of the Italian govern
ment through its Minister We're that the
United States should not only paw in
demnity to the relatives OF the New
Orleans lynching, but that this govern
ment should guarantee that the perpe-
traitors OF the deed would be punished.
This was naturally regarded as an un
reasonable demand and instead of at
once acceding TO it, Secretary Blaine
asked Tor time to fully investigate the
matter. 1t was this request that brought
about the crisis and for the past three
days the air has been futl of war talk
and syeculations as to what would be
the result OF conflict bet Eeen the two
countries. 1t is OF course believed that
although Italy has fine navy she would
eventually get thorough trashing, and
this seems to be the view OF the officers
OF the Italian government, as the last
reports from Rome say that they scott
the idea OF war with the United States.
The press OF this country uphold our
government in its position, and the for
eign press are about evenly divided on
the subject.
The situation is regarded as a very
serious one and while it is not thought
that Italy will send her ironclads over
here, 1t is regarded as very probable that
all diplomatic relations between the two
countries will be severed at the instance
OF Italy.
