The Malta and Signor Crispi Making .
Catspaw Of Premier Rudini.
ROME, April 1.-The evening papers COM
ment briefly on the Fava incident. Their
utterances are marked by calmness and
moderation. The Opinione and Obscrrdtorc
Romano simply publish kilograms from
America. The Seofala asks whether Baron
Fava could return to his post if Italy
limited her demand for reparation to the
payment of indemnity to the relatives of
the murdered men, adding: 'This is the
only satisfaction the United States govern
rhent is in position to give
Italy. The Italians and citizens of
the United states have the greatest
interest in maintaining friendly relations,
and it will be best for the two govern
ments to come to an understanding as
soon as possible. The opposition of Italy
during the present strained relations ex-
listing between Italy and the United States
is unpleasant. The court at present is un-
duly exposed to malevoIent attacks, owing
to the known and much commented upon
partiality of both the king and queen Of
Italy for America and for Americans.
In fact, some of Queen Margaret's special
favorites among the ladies of the court are
Americans"
In its issue tomorrow morning the
Popoio Romano, the leading organ of the
opposition, will declare that the entire
country approves the recall of Baron Fava,
and, after dwelling upon the tact of the
Italian press in refraining from hamper
ing diplomatic action and its dignitied at
titude in the face of the attacks of Ameri-
can journals, will say: "If we cannot OBJ
tain the solemn rights which one great
people owes to another, we will at least
allow ourselves the satisfaction of send
ing back American vessels filled with
wheat for our market and returning to
Yankee breeders their trichinad meat"
The clerical party organ, the Poce de la
Eerita holds that the recall of Baron Fava
will lead to no useful result, it being purely
"Platonic protest due to pressure upon
the Italian goverement from within, I"
meaning the influence of secret societies.
United 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 for foreign affairs, Signor Darco.
The United States minister expressed re-
gret at the fact that the italian government
thought W lSIGii D0kOh = a.
and, generally speaking, thought
the United States government would
not deny any request of the Italian gov
ernment, if there was reason and fairness
in such demand. Porter also promised to
place before the United States government
at Washington City the subject of the con-
versation which took place between
himself and Signor Darco. incidentally
Porter also suggested that the Italian gov
ernment should wait before taking further
action, in the hope that a satisfactory ans
wer might be received from Washington
City.
Before Mr.. Porter left Signor Darco's
Office, the latter said:
Suppose dozen American citizens were muir
dered IN an Italian city and We pleaded impo-
tence TO punish the murderers because the city
in which the murders occurred enjoyed an
autonomous form OF government, what opinion
would you in the United states and what opin-
ion would the civilized world at large have OF
our plea?
Porter fhereupon tried to make clear 70
