AMBASSADOR MAYER SLOW.
Arrest of Naval Officer In Venice.
An Outrage 8ayt President.
Hay and Long Rebuked.
The arrest and Imprisonment of
four of the officers of the cruiser Chi
cago at Venice la likely to become an
Interactional Incident. President
'Roosevelt Is wroth, and Intends going
to tiif bottom of the matter. He was
very mun.1 Incensed Tuesday when
Secretary Long appeared at the
White Ho.iso for the Cabinet meet
ing and ivportnd that the Navy De
partment had received no official re
tort upon the incident. He lost nis
Pi.llenie altogether when Secretary
Hay came In and said that the State
I'epartmeni nail no news. nn oruer-
ed that dispatches lie sent at once
to our naval mid diplomatic represen
tatives et Rome to report all particu
lars of the affair forthwith. The
President is not only officially angered
by the neglect of our representatives,
but he Is personally very much pro
voked at the Idea 01' Ambassador von
l.ear Meyer permitting; such an out
rase to be perpetrated without even
a verbal protest to the Italian gov
ernment. The course usually pur
sued In such cases, when the civil of
ficers find It necessary to arrest the
men or officers of the navy, is to send
them to the commander of the ship
with a request that they be suitably
punished. It Is a violation of Inter
national comity for the representa
tives of one government to arrest the
servants of another. In that respect
our navnl officers In Venice stood
practically upon the same footing as
diplomatic representatives, who are
exempt from arrest. Such a thing
as arresting American officers and Bail
ors has been Known to occur, but
this Is the first time within CO years
that a foreign tribunal has presumed
to pas Judgment and enforce Its
Judgment by having the officers Im
prisoned. It Is believed that the ac
tion of the Italian authorities at Ven
ice was much more severe than It
would have been had the sailors been
of any, other nationality. The Ital
ians harbor resentful feelings against
the Vnlted States, because of the
lynchlngB of Italians In New Orleans.
St. Charles' parish and Madison
parish. Louisiana, and near Vlcks
burg, Miss. Detailed reports of the
trial of the Americans say they ac
cidentally overturned a table In a cafe
and that they were violently seized
with the Intention of having them con
veyed to a police station, which they
resisted.
A cable message from Venice. Italy,
under date of May 2. reports "that the
American naval officers were released
upon the -pardon of the King." In
an interview the imprisoned officers
warmly repudiated reports from
Rome thnt they were tinder the In
fluence of wine at the time of the
trouble. A rigid Investigation will
be instituted under direction of the
Secretary of the Navy. If It Is shown
that the American officers were aimply
acting on the defensive an apology
Will be demanded, and a claim for
3 am ages for the imprisonment of the
officers will probably be made.
