Fava Carrying the Correspondence.

Paris, April 21. Baron Fava will go to Rome to-morrow. He conveys the official correspondence with the United States government in a chest over which a military guard has watched since Baron Fava landed at Havre. The Baron maintains reticence, but it is asserted that he differs much with his government regarding the manner in which Italy should treat the United States. The baron is accused of "lapsus calami" in translating the first Italian note communicated to Secretary Blaine. Italy demanded the "giudieiro" of the lynchers, which Baron Fava wrongly translated "punishment." It is further considered that Baron Fava exaggerated the tone of Premier Rudini's protest, or that he did not comprehend its meaning. Italy, it is maintained, is compelled to assume an air of decision in order not to break too suddenly the Crispi traditions in the Italian foreign policy.
