Tt Nav be Personal with Fava.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The impression is
deepening in diplomatic circles that there is a
decidedly personal aspect to the withdrawal of
Baron Fava. 1t is learned that last year Car
roll United States consul at Palermo, made a
formal report to the secretary of state upon til
subject of brigandage in Italy. He described a
number of cases of outrageous treatment of
foreign citizens included by Ital-
ian banditti, and proceeded to score the Italian
government deeply for its failule to suppress
these red handed criminals and defend foreign
ers in Italy.
This report was published in this country and
so aroused the Indignation Of Baron Fava the
Italian minister, that he promptly notified his
government of the nature of the report, and an
nounced his determination to secure the con-
sul's recall. In Secretary Blaine's absence he
was able to do this. Blaine was much dis
pleased at the action taken, but it was too late
to recall the departments decision, conse-
quently the relations between the secretary aud
the baron became somewhat less pleasant than
they had been, and according to gossip floating
about the state department by some means not
exactly described TT Italian government came
to understand that representative on more
cordial terms with prominent United States
officials might obtain more favors for his gov

Commodore Ramsar,s Interview.

WASHINGTON, April Army and navy Off
GERS talked considerably this morning about the
action Of the Italian government yesterday.
They did not apprehend trouble, but, neverthe-
less. chance for an unfavorable turn in the ne
gotiations which might lead to the unlimited
appearance of the Italian fleet in our harbors
should not be lost sight of.
Commodore Ramsay, in charge of the navi-
cation bureau of the navy, was asked this
morning in what condition our naval defences
are. Said he: How many battle ships do Won
suppose We have: Just one double turretted
monitor, the Mintenomah now at the New
York navy yard and she is not completed
However, by presslng.forward, we might finish
her IN a month. We are building two battle
ships but many months will be required in
which to complete them and many more to
arm and plate them with armor II is idle to
talk OF building navy in few months Our
new cruisers, about dozen IN number, would
be of service but they were never intended to
stand against an armored battle ship, or
against anything else than such armored YES
be useful to destroy lines Of water communi-
cation by which foreign naval force on our
boast must receive their coal and supplies"
In conclusion, Commodore Ramsay said he
did not feel that New York was sin oimmineut
danger even in the event of war The heavy
Italian warships could not successfully BAN
bard the City without entering The harbor and
they are not likely to enter because aside from
the perllS OF navigation certain preparations
could and would speedily be made to render
the water untenable for them. Submarine
mines could be arranged and torpedoes planted.
These devices, supplemented by other defen.
si1 measures that could be adopted, would
PROBABLY make New York city tolerably safe
from naval attack
Adjutant- General Kelton, OF the United
States army, secuted the idea OF war issuing
from yesterdays events. He did not hesitate
to say New York city would be safe in any
event. "A hostile fleet could not lie within
twenty miles of New York AS for landing

The Spirit of the Press.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The majority of the
newspapers here and in other cities of the east,
commenting on the withdrawal of the italian
minister, express the opinion that the action of
Italy appears to be no more than an emphatic
mode of expressing dissatisfaction with the
bloody work in New Orleans.
The Boz ton Post says: st now becomes
Bla1ne's duty, also making use of prescribed
formallties, to confine the business within the
limits of diplomacy and prevent its expansion

The Philadelphia Enquirer SAYS: eve attach
no serious Importance to the recall of the min

part or the government of Italy than desire
for naval brush. There has been change of
ministry over there. The new government has
learned a lesson from British jingoism. 1t ap-
peals to the baser instincts of the people.
Patriotism, perhaps, is the term used for it in
Italy and thus seeks popular support. 1t is
welcome to all that sort of thing it can get. But
