NOT INFORMED.
Rome, April 10.-It is reported 'n"0 o''
limited States Government does not answer ''ie
MARQUIS Rudini's note by tomorrow MI ror'er'
the American Minister here, will ne oroerco 10
leave Italy: the whole Italian Legation In wash
,,r,on win be recalled, and italian interests left
in charge of the British Minister
washington, April ISpecial-A dispatch from
Rome which obtained some circulation here to-
night was to the effect that the Italian Gov
ernment in case no answer should be received by
tomorrow 70 the note of Marquis Rudini would
send Minister Porter bis passports and recall the
entire Italian Legation in the United States leav
ing Italian interests in charge of Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, the British Minister Among persons who
are well informed the dispatch was regarded as
the Italian Government could entertain such q
purpose. 1t can be authoritatively stated that IL
Italy contemplates any such course the dis
patch indicates the Administration in Washing
ton is in absolute ignorance of the fact
1t is known here that Secretary Blaine has pre-
pared answer to the message of Premier
Rudini. The fact of the preparation of Secretary
Blaines reply is not only well understood, but it
is stated, moreover, that the Secretarys letter
submitted to the President and his Cabinet and
was found to be satisfactory.
In view of these circumstances, it is asserted
with considerable confidence that the letter OF
Secretary Blaine has already been sent to Mar
ouis Rudini, though whether it was communicated
by mail or telegraph is not known. II the former
method was adopted, the Italian Premier, it is
believed, was apprised of the fact 1t is sug-
eested also that intimations have been conveyed
Of the advisahilty Of conducting the diplomatic
negotiations between the two countries with less
publicity.
For these reasons IL is thought to be almost
impossible that the rumor in Rome can be correct
Tho editors Of "LEcho" and "Chrlstoforo Colon
boz in this city, when last night said that they
had received no Information from either Rome or
Washington in confirmation Of the rumor. They gave
no credence to the report and said that they would
probably print 1t without editorial comment, except
perhaps to discredit the rumoTs The editor Of ii
Progresso" emphstic in saying that he utterly dis
believed tire story. He said that the Italian Govern
ment was content to await the action of the United
States Government and that the bitter feeling in the
Italian colony had almost entirely died away.
In regard to Baron Fava's departure, he says posi-
lively that the American press is in error In stating
that the Baron had been recalled, and II Progresso'
viii appear to-day with editorial which states that
Baron Fava is stn the Minister Of the King Of Italy,
and that a circular which was sent TO the Italian
Consuls in the United states April z, announcing
stsntially that he went merely on an indefinite leave
Of absence. ..
Baron Fsva left his hotel last night and went aboard
the Gascogne, which sails to-day at a. IN. .
