OUR MINISTER INsULTED.
ROME, April Limited States
Minister Porter yesterday called to
see Marquis Di Rudini, the Italian
premier, who however, was absent
from the city. Mr.. Porter then saw
the under secretary of foreign affairs,
Signor Darco. The United States
minister expressed regret at the
fact that the Italian government had
thought fit to recall Baron Fava,
and generally speaking, thought the
United States government would
not deny any request Of the Italian
government ifthere were reason and
fairness in such demands. Inciden-
tally Porter also suggested that the
Italian government should wait
before taking further action, in the
hope that a satisfactory answer
might be received from Washington
Before Mr.. Porter left Signor Darco's
Office the latter said: Suppose 8
dozen American citizens were mur
dered in an Italian city, and we
pleaded impotence to punish the
murderers because the city in which
the murders occurred enjoyed al
autonomous form Of government
What opinion would you in the
United States and what opinion
would the civilized world at large
have In regard to our plea?" PorteI
thereupon tried to make clear t
Darco the relations of the fedora
government to individual states al
fixed in the constitution, but DarcC
was not satisfied, and replied witt
heat: awe have nothing to do Will
your constitution. If ii is found
wanting, you must mend 1t. You
know it is no constitution worthy
of free, civilized country, ifit does
not insure punishment for crime and
protection for the weak"
THE FAVA LETTER TO BLAINE.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The fol
lowing correspondence between Sec
retary Blaine and Baron Fava was
made public by the department o.
state last night:
"Royal Legation of Italy, Wash
ington, March 3l,--Mr. Secretary Of
State.-By my two notes of the 18th
and 18th inst. l had the honor tC
call your eXcellency's attention &c
occurrences of exceptional gravity
which took place at New Orleans on
the 14th, whereby four subjects OF
the king of Italy, who were confined
In the prison of that city, were mas
sacred by the crowd under the lead
ership of two American citizens
After having formally protested
against the unjustltiable conduct Of
the local authorities, which wer,
evidently recreant TO their duties on
that occasion, | reserved to the gov
ernment of his majesty the right tC
demand such satisfaction rs il might
think proper, since the occurrence IN
question constituted a patent viola
tion of the treaty in force between
our two countries, which secures
to Italian subjects residing in the
United States the same protection
enjoyed by American citizens, ant
which has always been extended t.
the latter in Italian territory. Tn,
