Washington April 5.-The excitement over tbs
Italian affair has almost completely subsided ana
il was not a topic of sufficiently live interest to
engage attention in fashionable drawing-rooms to
day Secretary Blaine is not yet prepared TO
make public anything throwing additional hghs
on the situation and unlasj there should DC, con-
trary to all expectations, another bomDshell as
sudden and startling as the recall OF Baron fava
it is probable that the Italian enlargement VIII
not again be a subject of all-engrossing public
interest and that il will take the usual tedious
course Of diplomacy. There is some desire mani
tested TO know the nature of the reply Secretary
Blaine will make TO the message Of the Marquis
Rudni, but the Secretary evidently prefers thas
there shall be less haste In conducting this
diplomatic affair, for he sent word down tonight
that there nothing new in the situation, ana

in his efforts to calm the agitation OF the Italian
Government, they expect that he Will pursue tho
