AS SEEN IN ROME.
ROME, April Limited States Min
lister Porter has requested the Italian
government 10 exercise patience
tor few days. pointing out
the difficulty which the Ameri-
can government was obliged 70 en-
counter in settling the New Orleans
affair. Baron Fava has not as yet
cabled any official or decisive answer &c
the message of recall by his govern
nent. The rumors that Americans
have been imprisoned in Florence
and other Italian cities are
absolutely without foundation. The
general situation throughout Italy Is
tranquil, and disposition is NANTES,
to await patiently the issue of the nego.
tiations now in progress between the
governments Of Italy and the United
States.
The tenor of Baron Fava's note &c
Mr.. Blaine is that what Italy asked
and still asks is the federal govern
ment's guarantee that regular legal
proceedings will be taken agains,
the culprits In the New Orleans

families OF the victims The note add.
that Italy cannot and is not called upor
TO discuss American institutions, bu
must urge upon the federal government
the observation of the principles of in
ternational law. Italy hopes that the
federal government will appreciat,
the obligation incumbent upon !
as government of civilizes

demands. If this should no
be the case, the kings minis

declare that he quits q post where hi
