Blaine last note and in ii the Marquis
Di Rudini says that 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.
The diplomatic incident, the Marquis
Di Rudini continuing, says, can only be
considered closed when the Federal gov

NEW YORK IN NO DANGER


From Italian IrOnclads-So Says Ship
builder Cramp.
PHILADELPHIA, April 4.-Charles H.
Cramp, the head of the great ship
building firm here, says New York is in
no danger from the Italian ironclads
"Theyll never come over here, he
said confidently. In the first place
they can't carry coal enough to make
such a voyage safe, and they could find
no place here to recoal Then their
great draught would make it impossible
for them to do much damage on this
side. They are not familiar with our
coast and would be in constant danger
of grounding,
They carry very heavy guns, but,
except for firing on a city, those guns
are not effective much over a mile, and
the new cruiser recently constructed
could be very effective by circling about
the monsters and peppering' them with
long range rl1ed Cannl II and drawing
them into shallow water.
1T would be impossible to build a
navy any 1a,ter than we are doing it
now There are four vessels under con
struCtiol in our yards two cruisers and
two Lattle-ships but they cannot lie
completed much inside Of three years
When completed these battleships. al
though not quite as heavy as those in
tie italian navy, will be superior to
them in effectiveness,
The Nesuvius is the only dynamite
crniser III the world, and if she could
drop one of her deadly shells aboard an
Italian ironcla all danger from the lat
ter would be over.

This is one of the farming counties of

SECRETARY PRooToR,s VIEWS.


Thinks Congress win See the y, cessity
of Navy and Coast Defenses
Los ANGELES. Cal. April 4.-In an
interview Thursday Secretary of War
Proctor expressed the opinion that the
present controversy letween Italy and
the United States would end in smoke,
but not the smoke of war The out
come Of it, however, he thought, would
lie to better our coast defenses and in
crease our naval facilities, us congre S
would now undoubtedly ee the neces-
sity of a good navy and proper coast
defense. The secretary further said:
The seventeen-inch gdns carried by
the large Italion war ships | consider as
somewhat of an expert iment. They rack
the ship and without reference to theie
use ON b3ardship, they are short lived.
After the guns reach certain size, the
increase of internal su fa,e is very great
aud the immense explosive power is
more likely to inlure or break them
The most serviceable of the large guns
are the eight. ten and twelve-inch
In addition to the new gun factory.
the last congress made an approplia-
ton Of $1,000, coo for the purchase of
large guns manufactured by pri ate
concerns. That will fu nish us with
100 large pieces. New York is not
without considerable degree of protec-
ton, as we have quite an efficient
torpedo service. With the advent of
heavily armored ships of late years,
great improvements have been made in
mortar Service. 1t is surprising with
what accuracy mortars can be fired to
great height and shots dropped straight
down upon the object aimed at The
latest method OF handling them is to
plant sixteen mortars i'll squa es, and
after gauging carefully the location of

the mortars. and it is remarkable Low

Iower. taunts Italy with ter own glar-
ing violations of international law from
the invasion of the lontiical states up
to The massacres in thiopia.
The journal Des Bats declares that
Italy has an undoubted right to demand
that the United States shall make an eff
fort to punish The men who lynched the
Italians ut New Orleans. The Journal
adds 1T is natural that ENGLAND finds
difficulty in admitting the distinc ion
which Mr. Blaine draws letween CEN
tral and local powers. Therefore she
can only apply TO the Federal over for
redress. Italy has not acted hastily,
especially in view of the customary pro-
ceedure of Washington diplomacy, and
in view OF the present non possumUs
with which the Italian demands have

HE WAS TOO HASTY.



Much to Secretary BIRiue.
New YORK, April The Sun Friday
printed the following from its special
correspondent at Washington;
ate tonight The Sun CORE spondent
received from high officicial authority
the true explanation of the vacillating
course which Italy has pursued in FIRST
recalling Minister Fava and threaten
ing war. and then meekly admitting by
a dispatch from Ru1ini to lmpe.iali to-
night that Sc retary Llaine has all
along Leen ready to make proper repara-
ton for the killing of the Italians, and
that | aly's action has been too has Y.
The explanation is that from the time
when Baron Fava first received instruc-
tions to present his letters of recall un-
til the day he did so he was earnestly
urging his government 10 delay taking
such an important step, and holding
out promises Of an amicable settlement
or the controversy. This course he fol-
lowed for nine or ten days
On Tuesday he was Teremptorily or
de ed to delay no longer He thereupon
presented his instructions to Sc retarv
Elaine He returned to his lodging,
and was astoundel to find there a cable
gram, instructing him to withhold his
letter until the report of further orders
1t was too late. however, as the news Of
his recall ha / been officially promulgat-
ed and spread to the world wide.
The date of this imperative telegram
shows that it was decided u on after
the return Of Premier Rudini 10 Rome,
and after his interview with Minister
Porter. 1t will lie remembered that
Rudini was al sent from Rome for two
or three days during the perdeucv OF
the negotiations between Baron Fava
and Secretary Blaine, and while Minis
ter Porter was attempting to have Aln.
isier Favas appeals for delays lis
tened 10.
1t is therefore perfectly plain in tss
