Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, May 22.-The Herald has
received copy of the Italian Green Book,
containing the documents submitted by
Marquis di Rudni, premier to the Italian par
lament, on April 80. Extracts of the more
Important which never before have been
made public, are as follows:
FAvA TO RUDINI.
WASHINGTON, March 16.
According to your instructions 1 called
on the secretary of state second time.
After repeating what had told him the
previous evening, handed him an official
letter,in which l formally protested against
the uniustifable attitude of the local
authorities and asked that energetic steps
be taken to protect his majesty's subjects.
L also asked that proceedings be immedi-
ateiy Instituted against the culprits, the
authors and accomplices of the lnstigators
OF the massacre, reserving to his majesty's
government the right to ask in time for
every other reparation. Finally Mr.. Blaine
promised that with the aid of the Presi-
dent such satisfaction as we were en-
titled to would be granted to US. In fact
when called at his house the same even
ing he showed me telegram, which he
was about to send to the governor of Lon
lslana, and told me [ might consider it as
the answer from the federal government to
the note which 1 had handed
him IN the afternoon. nav
add conhdentially that during our
conversation Mr.. Blaine gave me several
times to understand that the demand for
indemnity on behalf of the families of the
three murdered subjects of his majesty
would be favorably entertained.

RUDINI TO FAvA.
"RoME, March 10.
consul Corte telegraphs that the MUIR
derers will be handed over to the judicial
authorities. 1t is indispensable the United
States government should notify me off
| clally OF such action. Please present
demand for indemnity. We are confident
| 1t will be accepted without hesitation.
Simple declarations, though cordial and
friendly, cannot prove as sufficient salts
faction as can be proved by positive and
concrete facts.

RUDINI TO FAvA.
- hOME, MarCn n.
sour attitude toward the federal govern
ment is very simple. Three subjects of the
King, declared innocent and discharged nv
an American magistrate, have been assas-
slnated In prison while under the protec-
ton of the authorities. Our right to ask
for the punishment of the culprits and for
indemnity for the murdered mems fam
lilies is unquestionable. Public opinion in
Italy grows impatient for redress. Should
definite decision be delayed, l shall with
great pain be obliged to openly demonstrate
our dissatisfaction by recalling YOU from
offices where the action of the royal repre-
sentative has failed to obtain redress. 7
leave it to your prudence to consider
whether 1t would be expedient to inform
the secretary of state on this point.
(Signed) ''RUDINI."
RUDINI TO FAvA.
ROME, March %.
81 can admit of no further delay after our
legitimate demands. If you cannot see the
secretary of state write to him, an immedi
ate solution being indispensable.
(Signed) RUpINI.,,
FAvA TO RUDINI,
"WAsHINGToN, March 81.
GAS Mr.. Blaine did not communicate
with me on the 25th instant according to
promise, l called on him yesterday and he
at once complained was hurrying him in
manner entirely contrary to diplomatic
usage. 4 do not recognize the right of any
government he continued, to tell the
United States what it should do. We have
never received orders from any foreign
power and we will not now. Please inform
Marquis di Rudini that the federal govern
ment cannot give the assurances he re :
quires, and that it is matter of total in
difference to me what persons in Italy may
think of cur institutions. 1 cannot change
them, still less violate them. The fact is
Marquis di Rudini does not give us suffici.
emit time, but while l ask for time you want
an official declaration on the spot Well. I
will do nothing of the kind and you may do
as you please
''While Mr. Blaine was speaking" con-
tinues Fava, 81 did not breathe word, and
when he had finished told him the Italian
government had not intended to interfere
with the internal affairs of the United
States and that Marquis di Rudini did not
intend to give any orders to the United
States government"
