outlook especially favorable. Mills as

BARON fAVA WILL DEPART
CHANGE TO BE MADE IN ITAL-
IAN EMBASSY.
Remarkable Experience of the Retir-
ing Observation-Disclosures Composed
Satisfactorily Owing to His Tact.

Inquiry at the State Department confirms
the report that a change is about to be
made in the Italian embassy here. The
department has been advised through the
American ambassador at Rome and the
Italian foreign office that Baron Fava will
be succeeded as ambassador here by the
Marquiz Obizzo Malispina di Carbonara at
present minister for Italy to the Argentine
Republic. The marquiz has had a wide
diplomatic experience and served in Wash
ington as one of the attaches of the Italian
legation about ten years ago. He will re-
ceive a substantial promotion by his new
appointment, for, whereas he is now a min
lister, he will become fun-fedged am
bassador.
Baron Fava, the retiring ambassador is
a man of remarkable diplomatic expert
ence, his service in behalf of his country
covering some of the most exciting periods
in Italian history. He is about siXty-fye
years OF age, ana began his diplomatic
career as secretary of legation at Trieste
III the Kingdom of Naples He subsequent
ly took a prominent part in a successful
effort to federate the Italian states and
re-entering the diplomatic service under
the famous Cavour ministry, he became
first secretary at Berne. Thence in turn
he went to The Hague, to Constantinoole
to Rounania, and finally to Buenos Ayres
where he was minister just as his sue
cessor is today. Baron Fava came to
Washington in 1881, so he has seen twenty
years continuous service at the American
capital In 1883 he was dean of the diplo-
matte corps. and only relinquished the po-
sition through the failure of his govern.

ernment IN the matter of raising their min
lister to the rank of ambassador
During his diplomatic experience here
the baron has exhibited great tact and has
passed through some trying conditions
During the lncumbency of Secretary Blaine
at the State Department occurred the xiii
ing of the Italians by a mob in New Or
leans, which caused serious strain upon
the relations between the United States and
italy, and incidentally led to the recall of
Baron Fava by his government for a con
siderable time. Since that event Others of

communication mas been had with this Of
flee relative to the matter.
This is an old story, and crops up every
once in a while. 1 don't believe there is
anything in it. | do not know who this
person is who claims to have the bonds,
and no one else does. l have not been in
formed of the matter by the bank officials
or any one else In the first place, the
bonds are worthless, duplicates having been
issued. and besides the bonds have ma
tured."
The Manhattan Savings Institution, at
Broadway and Bleecker street, was robbed
on the morning of October 81, 1873, of
81. 747 100 in securities, mostly government
bonds, and S11 coo in cash. None of the
cash and few of the securities were ever
recovered.
President Joseph Bird of the Manhattan
Savings Institution said he had not been
approached by any one concerning the
bonds. He was asked if the bank would
pay for the return of the bonds, and he re-
piled that the bank certainly would not, as
the bonds, having matured were worth
less. and the bank had no use for them.
Three years ago. said Mr.. Bird, "all of
the bonds but 100000 municipal bonds of
the city of Yonkers had matured. An offer
was made to the bank to restore these S20,-
900 worth of Yonkers bonds. a meeting OF
the directors of the bank was held and it
was voted not to purchase these bonds and
the negotiations We're off,
Mr.. Bird said that at the time certificates
of Indebtedness were issued so as to pro-
tect the city of Yonkers in case of litiga-
ton.

the President should make an example of
some Of these cases.

"On the other hand, We have made some
very great gains during the present ad-
ministration. The miserable system of re-
moving employees upon trumped-up charges,
which they were allowed neither to see nor

made in Congress to cripple the law have
been successfully resisted and | think the

doubtedly gained in public esteem Even
IN the matter of political assessments the
government employees are not nearly as
much subject to coercion as they used to
be.
But the most important gains of all
nave been those in our new insular terri

tlcally all the places, from the lowest to

ldea that when the excellent results of that
system shall become apparent in our dis
