WASHINGTON, April 2.-While it waits
The action of the Italian government on
Secretary Blaine's letter to Marquis I'M
priali, the policy of the administration IS
10 assume calm indifference as to the
Italian affair, Accordingly the President
proceeded with the arrangements for his trip,
while Secretary Blaine went to the state
apartment and gave audience to different
minister's, this being diplomatst day.
Among them was Sir Julian Pauncefote,
who brought with him Sir Charles Tupper.
The President, to be sure, said that his
planning was provisional" and that he
would go April 13. returning May Is, ''if
nothing happened" and Secretary Blaine
kept one ear opened toward Italy, but as
far as possible routine aspect was given
to affairs and Italy was reegated to the
legation offices over confectionery shop
on Connecticut avenue.
BOTH ON THE ALERT.
Really, however, both the President and
Secretary Blaine were very anxious, espe-
cially when they gotta cablegram from Min
ister Porter declaring that Italian public
opinion was more belligerent than ever, not
that the President or Secretary Blame
feared war they have had no fear of war
TINA hOt fhaxy ho FaaraJ opA IL
fear awkwardness and embarrassment in
our relations with Italy. They think that
Secretary Blaines letter gives us a great
advantage and hope that it may force Pre-
mler Rudini to abandon his position, but
they fear that it may not. They, therefore,
looked all day with eager interest for the
possible reply cf the Italian government,
knowing that Secretary Blaine's letter had
been cabled to Premier Rudini and believ-
ing that 1t might be answered at any time
by cable.
ITS FORM SIGNIFICANT
The form of the reply would be signif-
cant OF the position Of the Italian govern
ment If it came from MARQUIS Imperiah
as the acting head of the legation it would
mean one thing. II it came through his
hands as a conduit simply it would mean
something quite different. Perhaps he
might reply that he would not receive or
transmit it at all. It was enough to keep
the curiosity Of the heads of the administra-
ton on edge, but they could do nothing
more except to cable Minister Porter to
redouole his efforts to secure re-establish>
ment of full diplomatic relations
between Italy and the United States. Sec
TeCary Proctor telegraphed last night to tce
PRESIDENT to know whether he wanted him
70 return to Washington. The President
replied that he did not, and Secretary Proc
'oF Will continue his journey.
RUDINI's REPLY.
The President and Secretary Blaine were
renewed when they learned tonight, first
from the press, that Premier Rudini had
ggeguh 20 back down by cabling Marquis
Iniperlatl IN apparently very different
way from that in which he cabled
baron Fava. To be sure he does
IU noU restore Baron Fava or appoint
,lls successor, but be keeps the legation
neIe, and admits, Gs Secretary Blaine has
assumed, that it is open and the proper
IJuuuLlel Tor current negotiations. He comes
1o"h t. very suddenly and very completely
a. a. ON MS nigh horse, and SAYS he will await
.ne results Of the national and local investi-
SaOIons now going on, making, of course, as
nucn as he can of Secretary Baine's admis-
g1pH r,' OF the principle of naturalization.
pin phis is the way the President and Secretary
1piaIhe read Premier Rudini's dispatch to
marquis Imperiali.
ENDS THE CONTENTION.
1ney think it practically ends the present
ttoIlentlon. They expect Premier Rudini
iitt1eeP up the array of war, but to do very
tboIe lighting. In other words, it seems to
"a cnItn aIi nag of truce, preparatory to an ami
GGaoIe settlement and permanent peace.

FAvA NOT EXPECTED BACK
NOBODY expects that Baron Fava will be
vvur9ed. c,,tl Secretary Blaine's letter to Mar
Fls Imperlali plainly shows that Baron
l,-lS a'9 would hardly be considered persona
e'9'd TO our government. The President
su auu Secretary Blaine are congratulating
