In conclusion Marquis dt Rudini gave ex.
preston to the hope that Notwithstanding the

In the course Of his reply to the interpella-
tions tho premier said that on learning Of the
certainty that four of the lynched men wore
Italians the Italian government Immediately
directed the attention OF the United States
government to tho matter and received from
that government satisfactory ASSURANCES,
which were afterwards personally confirmed
by Mr.. Porter, the United States minister.
The premier then read the telegram which
President Harrison sent to the governor Of the
state Of Louisiana March 16 and added that

brought to justice and that indemnity be grant
cd to the families of the Victims.
AS tho action Of the United States continued
the premier, had not correspondent with its
promises, tho Italian government was con
strained TO demand o formal assurance that the
guilty parties should be denounced and that
the title to indemnity should be admitted in
principle. The United States government how
ever, failed to give this assurance replying that
the constitution Of the United States did
not permit the federal government to In,
terfere in state affairs. The premier then pro
ceeded to give detailed account Of the neg0.
tiations between the Italian and American
governments ending with the order to Baron
Fava to take his departureon leave Of absence,
seeing that he had proved the futility Of diplo
matio action. The Marquis Imperiali was In
structed to state that the incident would moi
be closed until the federal government had ex.
plicitly declared that legal proceedings against
the lynchers would be promptly begun.
A correspondent called upon Marquis
di Rudini and asked him If it was posi-
BILE for him to give an opinion for pub.

United States secretary of state, Mr..
Blame, to the marquis last note
on the subject of the New Or.

di Rudini said in substance
that the cabled summaries Of Mr..
Rlaine's reply which had been sent to
Rome and which he had seen in the
public press Of this city were too brief
and otherwise inadequate to enable
him to form definite opinions,
much less give an opinion for
publication, even il he felt JUST,
fed in adopting the latter course Of
action. The marquis added that he
preferred not to say anything further
while awaiting the receipt Of the full
text Of Mr.. Blaine's reply except that
he was now and had always been sin

Marquis di Rudini is well disposed
toward the United States government

dispute will certainly be found. Mar
