WASHINGTON. April 5.-Secretary Blaine
is not yet prepared to make public anything
throwing additional light on the Italian
affair, and, unless there should be, con trary
to all expectations, another bombshell, it is
probable the Italian ENHANCEMENT will take
the usual tedious course of diplomacy. The
speed with which this international corre-
spondence thus far has been conducted is said
by dipomates to be extraordinary. While
willing to utilize the modern methods of
cable and telegraph to keep the Ministers ac-
quainted with matters of especial i'm
por;ance, they are averse to pursuing that
course where the declarations of national
policy must be outlined. Now that Secre-
tary Blaine has succeeded in his efforts to
calm the agitation of the Italian Govern
ment, they expect the affair to be adjusted
in the customary calm manner of cor
respondence, which eliminates to a great
extent all sudden ebullitions of feeling and
passion.
The Post tomorrow, after referring to the
possibility of America for Americans being
one of the rallying cries in the next cam
within the range of probability that the ma
tional platforms next year will favor
restrictive immigration laws, or they
may recommend that all foreigners
who shall engage in business in
the United States and enjoy the protec-
tion of this Government shall become natur-
allied citizens. If Italy had not been so
aggressive the issue would not have been so
well defined. If the sentiments that are
expressed privately by Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes of both parties in Washington
find an echoi in the platforms they will make
interesting reading.
PARIS, April ). = The conflict betw cen
Italy and the United States continues to
attract attention. Signor RaGuewenter,
editor of the Epoque, the organ of the
Italian colony, said, in an interview to-day:
''1he Republicans in Italy, who form
powerful minority, entertain a friendly
feeling toward America, and would con-
slider war with the United States simply an
attempt to diScredit Republican institutions
in the eyes Of the Italian people. A recent
meeting OF Itllians in Paris discussed the
New Orleans affair, and, while everybody
reprobated the conduct Of the lynchers. no.
body approved the action of Rudini. Baron
Fava is an aTlSt0crat, ana is not in sympathy
with Republican institutions. His report to
the Italian Cabinet doubtless colored by
his own aniipathies, precipitated matters.
Another potent factor has given the italian
Government reason to pause in her
hostile negotiations. Financial hOus es
here state that in Italy widespread CONNER
cal troubles are becoming critical, and
apart from Italy's overwhelming public
debt, which would disable her in an attempt
to go to war, any measures inlperiling peace
would produce a general financial crash.
Already the effect of the American diff
Guilty is felt in the hesitation of French
financial houses to proceed with nego,ia-
tioDs pending for prospective Italian loan,
in which German houses are also concerned.

correspondent says the Cabinet has tele-
graphed all the Italian ConSuls in the

act with calmneSs and prudence.
ROME, April 5.-lt is announced that
Baron Fava, The late Italian Minister to the
United States, will sail for home April 11th
