ever, Is unchanged respecting the act OF
the citizens in lynchlng the assassins.
Mayor Shakespeare this evening deemed
it inadyisable TO make an extended state
ment OF his views at the present. He
thought if the worst came to the worst
the United States would be fully able to
protect the people. Personally, he appre-
hended no serious trouble, and felt GER
tain Italian ships of war could not posi-
bly, approach near enough to New Or
leans to lnfiict an injury upon her.
The IFB2eS-DeH9ocYGt, in an editorial re-
ferring TO the recall of Baron Fays, SAYS
There was no question of any unfriendli-
ness to Italy or the Italians. Eleven
brigands and assassins were executed, of
whom nine were American citizens and
two are said to be subjects of the
King of Italy. It would not have
made the slightest difference had these
latter two been Russians or any other
nationality, for the race question did not
enter into the matter in the slightest de-
gree. The people of New Orleans rose to
suppress an association of assassins
AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, March 3l.-Prominent Ital-
ians in Chicago discussed the reports
Interest. Editor Durante, of L'ftaI5o,
said: II do not believe the Italian Gov
eminent has recalled Baron FaYa with
any hostile intent, nor do l believe there
is any danger of war. AS to what the
Italian citizen here would do in case of
war, cannot say. | would not be will
ing to take up arms against my native
country, nor would l fight against my
adopted one. IF the italian Government
IS making demands for some more active
movement toward reparation, it is only
what might have been expected after the
feeble letter Of Governor Nicholls.''
DIR. Nolini said, in the case of war he

States would return TO Italy. He does
not, however, expect any trouble.
CoNSUL-GENERAL MARAZzI INTER
VIEWED.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 31.-Tn an in
terYlew with q bulletin reporter Count
MaraZzi, Italian Consul-General at this
port, said he was surprised at the news
from Washington. When the story had
been given him that Americans had been
1 ned as as hostages in Rome he at once said
that this was absurd. 1t could not posi-
bly, be true. No one can believe that. It
may be that Baron Fava, the Italian
Minister at Washington, has called for
his passports. It is his custom to 90
nome to Italy every spring, and it has
been known that he would go about this
time this spring. He is undoubtedly
going home on his annual vacation, and
that is what their probably is to this
matter.
Count Marazzi further said that he
thought it extremely probable that if any
hostile move was intended that he would
have had some notification, considering
the difference in time between Rome and
san francisco. As to what might hap
pen if hostilities were actually begun. he
did not care to express himself, it being
absurd on the face of the matter, in his
opinion, that any such occurrences as re-
ported should be credited by any one
who took time to think the matter over
He represents the Italian Government
as Consular representative for the entire
Pacific Coast. There are no Italian war
vessels on the Pacific Coast that he is
aware OF, and he does not think that there
are any on the Asiatic Coast Just now, but
he did not care to speak positively about
that, as he was not sure. There are no
Italian vessels in the port belonging to
the Italian commercial marine at this
time. lie thought that the news when
published would be generally discredited,
and speedily be proven to be untrue.
Whether demand for passports as a
hostile proceeding would be preceded by
diplomatic correspondence from the
Italian Government with the State De-
partment of the United States, containing
statement OF the grievances, he did not
care to discuss. He did not, however,
think that anything would be done
hastily or without due deliberation.
Ex-sECRETARY BAYARD's OPINION.
WILMINGTON, March 81. = Ex-Secre-
tary Of State Bayard says: "The action
taken by the Italian Government, in de-
handing the passport of Baron Fava, is
hasty and unprecedented. I can only
think that the Minister has been called
by his Government for some cause other
than that emanating from the New Or
leans tragedy. There is no danger of
war arising from the controversy. The
recall Of the Minister is ill-advised."
THE BARON WILL LEAVE TODAY.
NEW YORK, March 3l.-Dispatches
from Washington TO the II PrOqressO
ItoLo Amerfc0, received from private
sources, indicate that Baron Fava will
leave Washington tomorrow and sail for
home. The editor said tonight: The
recall of Baron Fava was decided upon by
the King and Cabinet only after they had
become convinced that the administra-
ton Of President Harrison was unable to
resent the alleged insult offered in the
letter of Governor Nichols. The editor
said Baron Fava was not recalled for per-
sonal reasons.
From private sources at Washington
the Echo d' Italia learned that Baron Faya
had sent kilograms to all Italian Consuls
in the country. The editor has not been
able to ascertain the subject of the dis
patches, but presumes it is notice of the
ItCdl.
AT NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, March 3l.-The Italian
paper, III ProgreSSO ItGIo Anae11cdno, re-
ferring to the recall Of Baron Fava. saws
it is but a natural consequence of the
opprobrious manner in which the State of
Louisiana answered Secretary Blaine. of
the weakness of the supreme Federal au-
thority in the face of the arrogant bearing
of Governor Nichols, of the infamous
jncreditable impunity accorded to the
lynchers and the instigators of the lynch-
ing. In conclusion, its editorial saws
Italy has done its duty, and the colony
has cordially approved it.
The editorial further declares that the
Constitution of the United States is
ridiculous in according to the central
power at Washington authority to make
treaties without, in case of violation by
any State, having force to compel that
State to maintain its obligation. Thus the
Constitution Of the United States sets a
trap into which the European Govern
ments may fall, and promises what it
cannot fulfill.
PRESS COMMENT IN LONDON.
NEW YORK March 31.-A Herald Lon
don special says: 1.-THE Daily Neacs to-
morrow will say, concerning Baron
Fava's recall: We were all led to believe
that negotiations were proceeding
smoothly. The American Government
had already accepted the principle of hon
orable reparation. Some curiosity was
felt as to the form which the PREPARATION
would take. 1t is known that matters
viii necessarily be regarded at Washing
ton as one primarily concerning the State
of Louisiana. 1t was equally well known
that the authorities at New Orleans would
take no action in the matter, or at any
rate no such action as might be expected
TO satisfy the Italian Government.
