WASHINGTON. April LIN an otsicial
note dated yesterday, Baron Fava, the
Italian minister. declared 10 the se TO
tary Of state tha, the United States gov
ernmcnt. not having given the assur
ances that the murdererx Of the Italian
subjects acquitted by the American
1 magistrate and murdered In prison
while under the immediase protection
Of the authorities Of New Orleans.
would be brought 70 justice. the Italian
government had found itself under the
very painful necessity Of showing openly
! lbs dissatisfaction by recalling the min
ister Of his majesty from . country
! where the Italian representative was
| unable 10 obtain justice The baron
will soon leave the United States, leav-
ing the secretary of legation in charge
only of the current FAIRS
This action by the Italian governmen n,
caused the deepest surprise IN cfficial
circles here, when the fact became
known. IL had been generally sup
posed that the Italian governmen ent
would at least await the action of the
New Orleans grand jury which is
charged with an investigation of the
tragedy at the New Orleans Jail IL ap-
pears, however. that the information
received from its representatives must
have led that government to the con-
clusion that the grand jury investigs-
ton would fail 10 result in the punish
ment or even indictment OF any person
connected with the killing Of the Itai-
ianA
The letter OF Gov. Nichols in reply
20 Secretary Blaine was also, il is
thought regarded As evas!ve OF the
real point at issue-reparation for an
alleged wrong--and the governors as
suranccs that further bloodshed would
not follow, unaccompanied by any ex-
cuse for the failure of the state or mu-
nicipal authorities To take precautions
10 prevent the killing was. il is said. re-
garded by the Italian government with
extreme dissatisfaction. Itappcared To
it that the United States government, had
exhausted its resources
The relations between the national
government and the governments of the
states were SO fixed by the American
constitution that when the Italian min
lister, obeyinS the commands of his gov
ernment sought for some assurances
that the persons concerned in the kill
ing of its subjects would be- punished.
il was not possible for the general gov
70, I..Ht
of the kind. 1t could and did point 10
the fact that the grand jury was the
American provision for calling before
the bar of justice the persons who had
violated the laws of the land. But this
particular grand jury was called to-
gether under the laws OF the sovereign
state of Louisiana, and whether or not
it would punish according 10 the Italian
idea OF justice was something that no
national official from the president
down could guarantee.
The Italian government was not sat
isfied with such views With the rela-
tions between the state and national
government and the pcculiaritics of the
American constitutional system of gov
ernment il had nothing TO do But it
WAS necessary, according to its views,
that Italian citizens in foreign countries
should be accorded the full measure of
countries.
Here was n case where, according 70
the statement Of the minister, the Ital.
ian subjects had been arrested on a
charge of crime and acquitted by an
American jury, according to the forms
Of American law. These men. declared
innocent by judicial tribunal, had
been slain by an angry people. The
Italian government could not 60 be-
hind the verdict Of the American court,
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 eyes of the Italian government they
were innocent Italian subjects. In their
violent killing the Italian people had
been outraged and insulted. The ma
tional government of the United States
had, as stated, failed to give any definite
assurance that rcparation would be
made. There was but one recourse.
and that was taken when the Italian
minister notified Secretary Blaine that
he had been recalled because his gov
ernment was dissatisfied with the nego-
tiationS
CHICAGO ITALIANS.
CHICAGO, April Prominent Italians
In this city were very incrcdulous over
the first reports from Washington about
Baron Fava's recall 10 Italy. The news
came so unexpectedly that the first inn |
preston was that il was a canard
Oscar Durante, editor Of L'Italia. said: |
IL do not believe that the Italian gov |
ernment has recalled Baron Fava with |
any hostile intent nor that any |
Americans have been seized as /
hostages in Italy. Nor do I BE-
lieve that there Is any danger |
Of war between Italy and the United |
States think Italy could make IL very /
warm for the United States for a few
but the resources OF this
country are so much greater that the
result could only be favorable 20 the
American nation As 10 what the
Italian citizens here would do in case
Of war ! cannot say. ] am an American
citizen would not be willing to take
up arms against my native country nor
would fight against my adopted one"
