Premier Di Rudini Sends Another Mes
sage to Secretary Blaine.
ROME, April 2.-Marquis Di Rudini, the
| Italian Premier, to-day sent another cable
message to the United States on the sub
! ject of the New Orleans trouble, addressed
to Marquis Imperiali Di Francavill, Sec
retary Of the Italian Legation at Wash
| ington, to be handed to Secretary Blaine.
The message is a reply to Blaine's last
note.
Di Rudini says Italy has asked nothing
but prompt institution of the regular
Judicial proceedings against the guilty
parties at New Orleans.
He adds that it would have been absurd
to claim punishment for the offenders
without the guarantees afforded by a
regular trial. a diplomatic incident, the
Marquis says, can only be considered
closed when the Federal Government has
declared in the precise terms upon which
the prosecutions will be commenced In
the meantime, the Italian Government

ments declaration acknowledging the
fact that compensation is due families of

1t is learned from reliable sources that
United States Minister Porter has done
much to pacify the Italian Government,
and won over to his way of thinking other
Ministers, several Of whom have been
trying to induce the Italian Premier, Mar
quis Di Rudini, to be less hasty.
The idea of war is secuted in diplomatic
and Government circles. Even Fava's
final withdrawal is not definitely decided
upon. 1t is said that, even if Fava is
Withdrawn, it will be done only as the
most forcible protest known in diplomacy
and not as the forerunner of a conflict be-
tween the United States and Italy.

letters from prominent Italians in New
York urging moderation.
HASTY ACTION.
LONDON, April I'm an interview to-
day Signor Bonacina, President of the
italian Chamber of Commerce in this
city, said he regarded Baron Fava's ac-
ton as somewhat precipitated. 1t was a
mere flash in the pan which would end in
nothing. Signor Bonacina added: ''There
is not much sympathy among the Italians
in London with the men who were
lynched in New Orleans. The Italians
here are of the opinion that there is no
doubt that the men charged with the
murder of Chief Henessy were guilty.
Still, they say if the lynchers go unpun-

New LONDON, April 2d.-The Ben

having left City Island at 8 A. M. The
trial for horsepower began at 10, and was
continued four and half hours. Only
four hours performance at an average of
3, 3,400-horse power was required by the
contract, but the engines and boilers were
doing better at all times after than during
the first half hour, and it was decided to
continue the high-tension performance
until half-past 2.
the steam pressure was easily main
talned at an average of nearly I62 pounds
per square inch. The engines average
vacuum was 244 inches, and the average
revolutions were 1909 per minute for the
starboard engine and 151 for the port en-
gine.
A comparison of the results with those
obtained on the former trial of the Ben

for good round 3,400-horse power on
this trial.

Explanation of the Course Which italy
Pursued.

PURSUED.
NEW YORK, April 2.-The ,Stta prints
the following from Washington: Late
tonight the Sun correspondent received
from an official high in authority the true
explanation of the course which Italy
has pursued in first recalling Minister
Fava and threatening war, and then adj
mitting by a dispatch from Rudini to
imperial tonight that Secretary Blaine
has all along been ready to make proper
reparation for the killing of the Italians,
and that ltalys action had been too hastv
The explanation is that from the time
when Baron Fava first received instruc-
tions to present his letters OF recall until
the day he did so, he was earnestly urg-
ing his Government to delay taking such
an important step, and holding out prom
iSeS of an amicable settlement of the con-
troyerSy. This course he followed for
nine or ten days.
tuesday he was peremptorily ordered
to delay no longer, and thereupon pre-
Sented his instructions to Secretary
Blaine. On his return to his apartments
he was astounded TO find a cablegram in
structing him to withhold this letter until
receipt of further orders II was too
late, however, as the news of his recall
had been officially promulgated. and
spread worldwide.
The date of this imperative telegram
shows that it was decided upon after the
return of Premier Rudini to Rome, and
after his interview with Minister Porter.
1t will be remembered that Rudini was
absent from Rome for two or three davs
during the pendency of negotiations be-
tween Baron Fava and Secretary Blaine,
and while Minister Porter was attempt-
ing TO have Minister Fava's appeals for
delay listened to.
1t is, therefore, perfectly plain in the
light of this explanation and the dispatch
from Rudini to Inperiali that Tues
day last the Italian Government became
convinced that it had made mistake,
and after two days reflection they de-
termined that the course of wisdom was
TO officially admit it.

SOMERSET PENN, April 2d.-The
Nicely brothers, Joseph and David, were

and protesting their innocence. Death
resulted from strangulation. The case
was an extraordinary one. On the even

David Umberger was entered by two
masked men. who killed him in the pres
ence OF his family. They robbed him of
between $4,000 and $40, 600 in cash and
escaped. Suspicion was directed toward
the Nicelys, who belonged to wealthy
Dunkard family, and in spite of fierce
legal fight they were convicted on strong
circumstantial evidence and popular
opinion. Later the case was complicated
by the sworn confession of John Reach
that he and a man named Miller COM

brothers made two sensational attempts

Persons Afflicted With 1t On Their

HAMBURG, April 2.-The large number
of Russian Jews focking into this city
for emigration to America is said to be
the cause of a peculiar distemper that has
appeared here. The victims are seized
with an uncomfortable desire to scratch.
and frequently do so until they are torn
and bleeding. The aff1iction has not
been followed by any known case of fa-
tality, although it tends TO aggravate other
disorders.
1t is mostly prevalent among the Jews
from Little Russia, and it is said to have
been carried there by Immigration from
beyond the Caucasus. Like the plague
spot of Damascus, there is no known
cause for the trouble, which, in many re-
spects, is different from the ordinary
disease known by that name. Most of
the immigrants are said to beneficiaries
