the house and contents, so rapidly did
the flames progress, but the bystanders
continued TO throw water on the burning
ruins in the hope of rescuing the body of
Mrs. Ford, which was known to be in the

heap OF burned rubbish where the kitchen
formerly stood. 1t was burned entirely be-

Blaine Notices a Portion of Rqdiniss
Communication to Imperiali,
WASHINGTON, May 8. - Secretary
Blaine has sent a cablegram to Minister
Porter at Rome, touching the portion
of Rudini's note to Imperiall, which
accuses Mr.. Blaine of using publicly
correspondence which was intended to
be private. Mr.. Blaine quotes the para
graph complained of that which con-
tanned the demand of Italy for punish
ment of the mob and indemnity to
Italian families. and concludes the
cablegram as follows:
The intimation of the Marquis Rudini
that the telegram in question was de-
hvered in strict confidence is total
error. AS the telegram expressed the
demand of the Italian government, it
was impossible that Marquis Rudini
could transmit it in strict confidence.
As / have already stated, it was COM
municated to me in person by Baron
Faya, written in English by his own
handwriting, without a suggestion of
privacy and that the telegram itself has
not q single mark upon it denoting a
confidential character. l have caused a
number of copies of the telegram to be
forwarded to you in a fac simile. The
usual mark for Italic printing was used
by me under four lines and they appear
in the copies. You will use the fac
simile in such manner as will most
effectually prove the error into which
the MARQUIS Rudini has fallen"
