RUDINI A BIG BUFFER.
BLAINE EXPECTS NO MORE OF HIS
IMPUDENCE NOW.


A Belief That the Italian VIII Now
Let Things Take Their Course-A
Belief That No Claim for Indemnity
VIII Be Made-Baron Fava's Recall
Now Designated as a Leave Of
Absence.
WASHINGTON, April Is. - Secretary
Blaine came to the conclusion this morning
that no matter what Italy was going to do
he must get out OF town at once or succumb
to disease, so he reconsidered his determine
ton of yesterday and went with Assistant
Secretary Soley down the Potomac in the
Dispatch, which is making her last cruise.
Before leaving he said that he had trans
mitted his reply to Premier Rudini, having
changed 10 so as to meet the Presidents
wishes, through Marquis Imperlali to Pre-
mier Rudini last night He had no doubt
that by noon to-day Premier Rudini had
read it, for Marquis Imperiali would OF
course cable it. Secretary Blaine expects
no more ''impudence, to use his own words,
from Premier Rudini.
CAN'T BE BULLIED.
He thinks that Premier Rudini will now
let things take their course, knowing that
we cannot be bullied and seeing that it is
useless even to pretend that he thinks that
We con be. Secretary Blaine expressly said
that the sending Of the reply to Premier
Rudini yesterday was not caused by any Of
Premier Rudiui's threatening reports. lie
sent il so promptly because he wanted
to reprove Premier Rudlui so much.
He will do nothing now until his
return on Saturday or Sunday, when he
expects to find the report of the district at
torney at New Orleans waiting for him, and
he will be able TO begin the preparation Of
the letter, reviewing the whole question Of
Italians in this country, which he thinks
will discourage Premier Rudini from max
ing any claim for indemnity. Secretary
Blaine expects to close Premier Rudints
mouth effectively with this final reioinder.
He may not send it until the President re-
turns next month.
FAvA's RECALL.
Marquis Imperiali's intimstion in his
note that Baron Fava is now absent FOn
leaven instead of being recalled, betrays
Premier RudinI's trickery. Baron Fava
was granted leave of absence by Premier
Rudiui at his own request shortly after
Premier Rudini came into power, in order
| that he might return to Rome to arrange
with the new premier 10 be allowed to re-
| main at Washington. Before he could
| avail himself OF it, the New Orleaus affair
occurred. Premier Rudini, anxious to
make as much political capital out Of it as
| possible, almost instantly bethought him Of
the fact that Baron Fava had been granted
q leave of absence, ard resolved to make
this lever to pry Secretary Blaine out OF
| position.
TURNED INTO A RECALL,
Accordingly he instructed Baron Fava to
| treat it as q recall for the purpose Of the
| negotiations with Secretary Blaine Fail
ing to bully Secretary Blaine with it,
Premier Rudini transferred it, like Moses
rod, into harmless thing-a mere leave of
absence-and it is with this that Baron
Fava went home. However, it is not ex-
| pected that Baron Fava will come back
here again, even when Premier Rudini de-
termines to send new minister. Baron
Fava is no longer an acceptable person TO
Secretary Blaine, and Secretary Blaine
would not hesitate to say so if there was any
prospect Of his coming back again.
BLAINE's VICTORY CONCEDED.

commenting on the American-Italian cor
respondence, says: "T'hs American union
was nearly rent asunder a generation ago
on the question of states rights; now when
old sectional feuds are almost for
gotten it would be folly to revive
the conflict. Italy appears TO
have acted without careful consideration.
Marquis Imperial's admissions give Secre-
tary Blaine an easy and logical victory, and
he has naturally made the most of Italy .
mistake of recalling Bar IN Feva on the as
sumption that justice would not be done the
lynchers.n
The Standard says: Secretary Blaine's
reply is very able paper. Weshall look for
ward with curiosity to Marquis di Rudini's
reply. 1t is difficult TO see how the sup
porters of the Malta society can slip through
the meshes of the net thus carefully spread
for them.n
