''Our requests to the federal government are
very simple. Some Italian subjects, acquitted by
prison while under the immediate protection of

and obtain punishment Of the murderers and in

wish to add that public opinion in Italy is Justly

necessity OF showing openly our dissatisfaction
by recalling the minister Of His Majesty from a
country where heis unable to obtain Justice.
The intimation of the Marquis di Rudini that
the telegram in question was delivered In strict
confidence is total error. AS the telegram ex-
