BARON FAVA'S I.KTTER.

"KOYAL LKGATION OF ITALY. WASHINGTON, March 31. 1801.—J/r. Sicretarg of State By my two notes of the 15th and 18th insts. I bad the boner to onll your excellency's attention to the ocourrenco of exceptional gravity which took place at Now Orleans tho 14tb, whereby four subjects of the king of Italy who were confined In the prison of that city wero massacred by the orowd under tho leadership of two American oltizonn. "After having formally protested against the unjustifiable conduot of the local authorities, which were evidently recreant to all their duties on that occasion, 1 reserved to the gov ernment of his majesty the right to demand such satisfaction as it might think proper, since the occurrence In question constituted a patent violation of the stipulations of the treaty In force between our two countries which secures to Italian subjects residing In the United States the samo protection that Is enjoyod by American oitlzQns and which has ^ways been extended to the latter In Italian territory. ••The reparation demanded by Ihe government ot the king, as I have had the honor to In* form you In our interviews held during the last few days, was to consist of the following points: '1. The official assurance by the federal government that the guilty parties should be brought to Justice.

The recognition in principle that an in* dr.. .ity is due to the relatives of the victims.1 "Your exoellency was pleased to declare tc me that, as the federal government did not think it could take this view of tho ca9e, It declined to take the aforesaid demands into consideration. "Undor these circumstances the government of bis majesty, considering that the legitimate aotion of the king's minister at Washington becomes Inefficacious, has ordered me to take my leave. "In obedience to the instructions which have received I have the honor to announce to yoifr excellency that I am going to leave Washington as speedily as possible, leaving the Murquls Imperial!, his majesty's secretary oi legation, in charge of the current business ol the royal legation.

excellency James G. Bluine, secretary of state, Washington." SECRETARY BLAINE'S REPLY.

To the above letter Secretary Blaine replied as follows: "DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON, D. C., April 1, 1801. The MarquU Imperialt, Chargt (PAffair't, etc.—Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of a note of yesterday dato from Baron Fava, who has left the italiun legation in your charge. "I beg to express tho sincere regret with which the government of the United States re cclves the intelligence of Baron Faro's speedy departure from this capital. Though he has more thau onoe intimated this purpose the government of the United States has been unablo to see adequate reasons for such a step. The baron's service here for the last ton years as been distinguished at all times by tho most agreeable relations with the exeoutlve department of this government. The regret at his leaving is enhanced when, as tho president believes, he has been recalled uuder a misapprehension of facts by tbe government of Italy. "Tho cause of his sundering bis diplomatic relations with this government is thus given In his note:

The reparatiou demanded by the government of tho king, as I have bad tbe honor to Inform you In our Interviews held during the last few days, was to consist of the following points: *1. Tbe ofllrM assurauce by the federal government that tbo guilty parties should be brought to Justice.' v" H. Tbe recognition in principle that an indemnity is due to tbe relatives of the victims.' "The first demand thus stated by Baron Fava is slightly changod In pbraso from that employe! fcy blm in his many verbal requests based ofi a telegram from the Marquis Rudini wh)ob he left with me. Tbe Marquis Rudinl declared that 'Italy's right to demand and obtain punishment of tbo murderers and an Indemnity for the victims is unquestionable.* "ft is toferred that Baron Fara's change of phrase meant DO ohange^f demand. I have endeavored to impress upon him in tbe several personal interviews with which he has honored me that the government of the United States is utterly UQable to give the assurance which tbe MarattU Rudinl has demanded. Even if the nation# government bad tbe entire Jurisdiction ovetf ill* alleged murders it could not give aseutMM to any foreign power that they should b. Miiihed.

ranee (or the result of a trial under the state law as the president would be were It practicable to try the leaders of the mob under tba laws of the United States. "In Itaron Fava's socond point he demands the recognition, in prlnclplo, that an Indemnity Is due to the relatives of the victims. He Is as •uredly under grnvo error when he declares that the United States government declines to take this demand into consideration, and I shull regret If he hns communicated such conclusion to your government. The United Stales, so farfrom refusing, bas distinctly recognized the principle of Indemnity to tbose Italian subjects who may have been wronged by a violation of the rights secured to Iheii under the treaty with the United States of February 1871.

I have repeatedly given to Baron Pava the assurance that, under the direction of thV president, all the facts and Incidents connected with the unhappy tragedy at New Orleans on the 14th of March last should be most thor* oughly Investigated. I have also Informed him that in a matter,ol such gravity the government of the Untied States would not permit Itself to be unduly hurried nor will It make answer to any demand until every fact essential to correct Judgment shall have been fully ascertained through legal authority. The Impatience of the aggrieved may be natural. but Its Indulgence does not always secure the most substantial Justice. "Accept, sir, the assuranoe of my high consideration. JAMK9 G. B1.AINB."

The force with which Secretary Blaine ropels the

suggestion

that either

the federal government of the United Stiites or the state government of Louisiana would seek to anticipate the verdict of a jury is so admirable that probably little will be added to it in the future diplomatic correspondence. As to the sccond point it will be noticed that Secretary Blaine controverts the insinuation of the Italian government that the United States is not willing to live up to its treaty obligations by recognizing that in principle an indemnity may be due the Italian subjects. At the same time he nowhere pledges the federal government to that indemnity.

The two demands on the secretary of state from the American standpoint are so clearly untenable that they hardly require discussion. For the federal government to "guarantee" legal proceedings in the state courts of Louisiana would be tin invasion of state rights and local selfgovernment which no administration would ever think of attempting. An admission of the direct liability of the federal government for a money indemnity to tho families of the victims of the mob is equally inadmissible, but the principle is distinctly recognized. It is important that this be understood, for one of the questions of the futtire would be as to how the principle should be applied. Secretary Blaine's letter should not be construed as a willingness of tho federal government to simply hand ovar to the Italian government a lump sum of money. The families of such of the victims as were subjects of King Humbert have tho some right to scok indemnity In the courts as citizens of 'the United States have. But it will be a long time be fore the general government will undertake to guarantee a financial reparation to foreigners which is lacking to its own citizens. Had it not been for the insolent action of the Italian gov. eminent it is not unlikely that the president would have recommended that congress provide a financial reparation, not as a matter of absolute right, but in the interest of good feeling between the countries.

Gov. Nicholls himself having admitted that some of the persons lynched were Italian subjects, Italy had a real grievance to which the government of the United States was bound to give respectful consideration. This is just what it was doing when the Italian government. without waiting for the action of the grand jury in Louisiana, formulates two inadmissible demands and makes the failure of the United States to recognize these demands the basis for a serious break in diplomatic relations which can be construed in no other way than as an intentional affront. From that time the attitude of the United States is changed. It has no longer anything to defend or apologize for. For the present there is no "next step" on the part of the United States. The administration will simply await the outcome of the state courts and will it the meantime receive any communication the Italian government may have to make.

It is assumed that the Marquis Imperial has before this cabled to his government .Mr. ltlaine's reply. All oyes, therefore, are now turned to Rome. While there is indignation in the administration at Italy's hasty action and a deep conviction that the government at Koine is merely bluffing, it is not denied that much uneasiness is felt. Tho danger is that Italy, having been given no additional assurances that her demands will be complied with, but being met on the other hand with a bold, almost defiant spirit, will prove her own earnestness and sincerity by a course of greater hostility. possibly by war itself, Having blundered into this premature demand for assurances, a demand which has borne no satisfactory fruit, ttie new administration at Home, eager to win popular favor and diplomatic success, must either sullenly \faittill Mr. Blaine has concluded his investigation at New Orleans and deigned to make a definite statement of what, this government is willing to do or else follow up its first overt act by withdrawing the Marquis Imperial and severing all diplomatic Intercourse with the country.. The recall of Hiii-cm Fava was a preliminary to hostilities unless the dispute could be adjusted. The recall of Imperial! would be the next thing to war itself. Jludini's reputation is that of a man of peace, but there is apprehension that he may be a man of spirit also and that with the taunts of the Crispi faction ringing in his ears and the populace clamoring for action, he may be led into unex

THK SITUATION IX HOMK.

ROME, April a.—The United States minister, Mr. A. (J. Porter, on Tuesday called to see the Marquis di Rudini, the Italian premier, who, however, was absent from the city. Mr. Porter in the absence of the marquis saw the under secretary for foreign affairs, Sig. d'Arco. Mr. Porter's interview with Sig. d'Arco lasted about two hours, and during the course of the conversation, which was conducted in English, the United States minister expressed regret at the fact that the Italian government had thought fit to recall Baron Fava, and generally speaking thought that the United States government would not deny any request of the Italian government if there was reason and fairness in such demands. Mr. Porter also promised to place before the United States government at Washington the substance of the conversation which took place between himself and Sig. d'Arco. Incidentally Mr. 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 Sig. d'Arco's office the latter said: "Suppose a dozen American citizens were murdered in an Italian city and we pleadod impotence 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 opinion would the civilizcd world at large have in regard to our pica?"

Mr. Porter thereupon tried to make clear to Sig. d'Arco tho relations of the federal government to the individual states, as lixed by the constitution. Hut Sig. d'Arco was not satisfied, and replied, with some heat: "We have nothing to do with your constitution. If it is ftiund wanting you must mend it. You know that it is no constitution worthy of a free, civilized country if it does not insure punishment for crime and protection for the weak."

In conclusion Mr. Porter again promised to place before the United States government the substance of the conversation which had takeq place between himself and Sig. d'Arco.

During the course of an Interview the Marquis di Rudini said that personally he was most kindly disposed towards the United States government, and expressed the hope that the civil authorities of the United States would not fail in their duties toward society, justice, morality and the law. Public opinion, however, he added, demands more energctic course of action, If the United States government, he con tinued, docs not perceive that it is in the wrong, a diplomatic rupture is in •vitable.

NEW YORK, April 2.—A special from Santiago dated February 27 says: During the last ten days President llalmaceda's government has suffered most terrible blow.-,. The insurrectionists are gaining ground every day, and have now complete control of the northern provinces—a great source of strength to them and a great injury to the government. The first battle of last week was fought on the pampa of

Dolores on the 19th inst. The government forces numbered 3,000 and the revolutionists had ii.OOO men. The revolutionists were defeated, but it is impossible to get any details of the engagement. A large number of soldiers have been sent into the northern provinces to drive out the revolutionists. Ity far the most memorable days thus fur are the 24th. -Titli and 2tith. On those days blood flowed in torrents at Iquique and Tanipaea. On the 24lli inst. the revolutionists began a second bombardment of Iquique. The attack was so sudden that the people had no time to prepare for the murderous fire which was opened on the town. While the government forces were well trained their work did little good, as all their efforts were more thMi offset by the concerted action of the land and naval forces of the revolutionists. The encampments of governme nt forces were completely destroyed. In the city almost every house which was left standing after the first bombardment some weeks ago was destroyed utterly. Late in the afternoon a pitched battle occurred between the land forces, in which some 200 were killed. When night drew on hostilities were suspended, but on the following day the fighting was resumed with greater vigor than ever. Three pitched battles were fought during the day.

Late in the afternoon the lighting ceased, for there were few government soldiers left who were able to fight. Col. ISobles escaped with tbe fragments of his army to the mountains, pursued by the rebels. The government forces were terribly beaten and at night on the 25th there was left in Iquique a mass of ruins and piles of dead bodies. The town was totally ruined and fnlljf 1,200 people were killed. Just before the |hombnrdment began the consuls of nil governments represented at Iqiiique protested against the brutality of the revolutionists in commencing a bombardment without giving, at least the women and children an opportunity ol escaping to a place of .safety.

But by far the bloodiest and most merciless battle occurred on the 20tli inst at Tarapaca. The revolutionists attacked the city and the government forces by sea and by land. The firing began early in the morning and continued for several hours, destroying 200 people. When the firing began tho inhabitants made a wild rush for the heights back of the town, but they were stopped by the relentless fire from the land forces, lialmaceda's troops fought like tigers and were met by the rebels with equal ferocity. The scenes were frightful. Men fought hand to hand conflicts by themselves. They pursued the dofenseless ones into the houses, where many were brutally cut down on both sides. Consecrated ground was not exempt from the ravages of the rebels, for some severe fighting occurred in the churches, where hundreds of womcr and children were praying for the safety of their husbands and brothers. Soon after the bombardment began several large buildings were discovered to be on fire. Hundreds of people who had taken -refuge in their homes were driven from them by th flames, only to be shot down when they sought new places of refuge. The cries and heartrending scenes botweon mothers and their children seemed to have no effect on the soldiers except to stimulate thein to new outrages, to more devilish actions. The sight of young mothers trying to protect their little ones added to their thirst for blood. It is said that personal rancor entered largely into the battle. Many old feuds were settled forever at the bombardment of Tarapaca. The town is a total wreck. Every prominent building has been leveled to the ground. The number of dead and wounded cannot, of courso, be accurately calculated, but it greatly exceeds 2,000. Many bodies are being taked from buildings and it is believed that many women and children perished in the flames.

At Gana another battle has been fought, Col. Iluarez, the commander of the government troops, was badly wounded and his troops wero defeated. About 250 were killed in this battle.

The indications are that thero has been no election of nny officer upon the general list by popular vote, although both Davis and Ladd for governor have made gains which nearly balance each other in the state so far as heard from. The general assembly, with the four cities and several towns still to hear from, stands: Hcpublicans, 4S democrats, 23 no election for 15 seats.
