BLANE'S CABLEGRAN OF EXPLANATION.
He Says the Premier's Intimation Is Total
Error, for Nothing Concerning Secrecy
Was Mentioned-Foreign Events.

WASHINGTON, d. O., May 4.-Secretsry Of
State Blaine sent the following cablegram:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON, d. c.,
May 4, 1891.
To Porter, Minister Rome
A series of statements addressed TO the Mar
quis Imperiali by the Marquis Rudini was
published by the press Of the United
States. The only part of the Mar
quis Ridni's communication which this
Government desires to notice is the
one here quoted, namely: Il have now before
me note addressed to you by Secretary
Blaine April 14th. It's perusal produces
most painful impression upon me. will not
stop to lay stress on the lack OF
conformity which diplomatic usages
displayed in making use, as Mr..
a portion of a telegram of mine
communicated to him in strict confidence IN
order TO get rid of q question clearly defined
in our official documents, which alone possess
diplomatic value"
The telegram of March oath. concerning
whose public use the Marquis Rudini com
plains, is the following. which was quoted in
full in my note of April 14th to Marquis I'm
periali, in charge of Italy at this capital.
ROME, March "a.
Italian Minister, Washington
Our requests 10 the Federal Government
are very simple. Some Italian subjects, ac-
quilted by the American magistrates, have
been murdered in prison while under the pro-
lection of authorities. Our right therefore, to
demand and obtain the pur shment of muir
derers and an indemnity for the victims is un-
questionable. J wish to add that the public
opinion in Italy is justly impatient and
if concrete provisions were not at once
taken / should find myself n the painful
necessity of showing openly uuc dissatisfac-
ton by recalling the Minister of His Majesty
from a country where he is unable to obtain
justice lSignedl RUDINI.
The intimations of Marquis Rudini that the
telegram in question was delivered in strict
confidence is total error. As the
telegram expressed the demand of the Ital-
ian Government, it was impossible that
Marquis Rudini could transmit it in strict
confidence As have already stated 1t was
communicated TO me in person by Baron
Fava. written in English by his own hand
writing, without a suggestion of privacy. and
that the telegram itself has not a single mark
upon it denoting it to be of a confidential
character.
have caused a number of copies Of the
telegram 10 be forwarded TO you to-day in fac
simile The usual mark for Italy's printing
used by the underscored lines and as they
appear in the copies. You will use the fac
SMILES in such manner as will most efectu-
ally prove the error into which the Marquis
Rudini has fallen. ISignedl BLAINE.
