WASHINGTON, May a-The following
dispatch was sent by Secretary Blaine

Porter. American Minister, Rome.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, W WASHINGTON May
4, 1S9i.-A series of statements addressed to
the Marquis Imperiali by the Marquis Eendni
was telegraphed from Rome yesterday and
was published by the Associated press OF
the United States to-day. The onlv part
of the Marquis Rudinfs communication
which this government desires to no
tee is the one here quoted. namely:
Il have now before note ad-
dressed To you by Secretary Blaine
March La Its perusai produces most pain
full impression upon me- 1 will not stop to
lay stress upon the lack of conformity with
diplomatic usages displayed in max ny use.
as Mr. Blaine did not hesitate To do, Of q
portion OF n telegram OF mine eOmmuni-
Gated to him in strict confidence in order to
get rid o. question clearly defined in our
official documents which alone possess
diplomatic value"
The telegram Of March ~, concerning
which public use the ma; qiris complains, is
the following, which was quoted in iull in
my note of April II to Marquis lmperiali,
charge of Italian legation:
"rtal an Minister, Washington.
Rome. March A.-The requests to the
federal government are very SIMPLE. Some
Italian subjects acquitted by the American
magistrates have been murdered in prison
while under the immediate protection OF
the authorities. Our ght. therefore, to de-
mand and obtain the punishment OF the
murderers and an indemnity for the victims
is unQuestionable. l wish to add that the
in to1,- =,
and if concrete provisions were not at once
taken 1 should find myself in the painful
necessity of showing openly our dis
satisfa ton by recalling.ths minister Of his
majesty from a country where he 10 unable
to obtain justice. REDlNl
The intimation of the Marquis di Rudini
that the telegram in question was delivered
in strict confidence isa total error As the
telegram expressed the demand OF the Ital
ian government, it was impossible that
Marquis Rudini could transmit it in strict
confidence. As have already stated, it was
communicated to me in, person by Baron
Eava, written in English in his own hand
writing. without suggestion OF privacy,
and the telegram. itself has noe single
mark upon it denoting confidential char
acter. Ihave caused a nnmb-r OF copies of
the telegram to be forwarded to you to-day,
IN fac simile. The. usual mark for italIc
printing was usei by me under four lines,
and they appear in the copies. I0a Will use
the fac SMILES in, such manner rs will most
rfEectually prove the epror inoo which the
Marquis Ill Rudni has fallen. BLAINE.
Marquis Iraperiali is siiT IN charge OF
the current business of the italian lega-
ton, as since Baron Favasuitted Wash
mgton, so that it can not be said that
diplomatic relations between the United
States and Italy are severed There
has been no correspondence between
the two governments since Secretary
Blaine's note Of April "a % Imperiali..
in which the secretary stated that the
United States government was investl
