Special TO the SUNDAY UNION.
WASHINGTON, April At is again an
nounced that the State Department has
nothing to make public to-day respecting
the Italian correspondence. The excite
ment i'll departmental circles over Baron
Fava's recall has subsidized. The incident
will, it is believed, take its place in the
ordinary calendar of open diplomatic
matters, whose disposition usually is
characterized by deliberation and patient
investigation.
Baron Fava is thought to be somewhat
better this morning. He is still quite
weak and confined to his room. 1t is
impossible to tell how long he will be de-
tanned in Washington.
Volunteers for service in the army in
case of war are still coming into the War
Department. Acting Secretary Grant to-
day received kilograms from Alabama,
Missouri and South Dakota to the effect
that the senders were prepared to bring
large numbers of volunteers Ito the
Government service.
RUDINI INTERVIEWED.
NEW YORK, April 4.-The Mail and
Express has a cablegram from Rome on
the present situation. A mutual friend
Ol IIiS corresponding anu 1fellller Ruulnl
obtained statement from Rudini.
The Premier said he harbored none but
the most friendly sentiments toward the
United States. These had really been
disturbed by the action which he felt
called upon to take as the representative
of the Italian people, upon being Off
cially made acquainted with the New
Orleans affair and the position which
Blaine was obliged to take in the matter
dc had no intention of pushing any de-
nands. and was content with having
taken one positive step as protest
against what he was led to believe at the
time was neglect on the part of the
United States to protect the lives of Ital-
ian citizens i'll America under tn e
provisions Of a treaty.
He expressed himself as aware that to
do anything more at this juncture would
be grave error on his part, as he has
perfect confidence in the sincerity and
justice of the United States. Finally he
said: Il shall now simply wait for fur
ther details of the New Orleans affair, the
characters of the slain men, of the Louis
lana authorities and of the intentions of
the United States Government; but,
whatever these may be, / am quite sure
that settlement thoroughly satisfactory
10 both parties will be found, and that the
friendship which binds the two nations
viii remain unalterable and secure"

Joseph, Mo-, says that DIR. William S.
Leach, of st. Joseph, is one of the Ameri-
can citizens held in Italy by the Italian

patches from him yesterday, which was

AS VIEWED IN LONDON.
New YORK, April 4.-Smalley, in his
cable TO the Tribune from London, SAYS !:
The tone of the discussion of the New
Orleans incident in the Italian press has
too often, unfortunately, been fippant
1t has been said that the Italian press, as
whole, does not well represent the in
telligence and sincerity of the Italian
people.
The PopoIO Romano, which is the lead
ing organ of the opposition, says: "If we
cannot obtain the solemn rights which
one great people owes to another we will
at least allow ourselves the satisfaction of
turning away from the Italian shores
American vessels loaded with wheat
which come 10 glut our markets, and
return to Yankee breeders their meat, in
fected as it is with trichnosis."
Some of the o,her Italian journals write
more directly than this. Some of them
with a soberness and sense of the re-
sponsibility, none of them weightily, or
with much knowledge of the questions at
issue.
blalnes letter 10 the Italian Secretary
has turned the opinion much more
strongly in our favor than hitherto.
Blaine's handling of the question is
thought by European diplomatists to be
equally firm and judicious. 1t is not be-
lieved either by the general public or in
diplomatic circles that any very serious
or prolonged rupture between Italy and
the United States is to be feared 1t is
more truly a struggle between the Mar
quis Di Rudini and Signor Crispi than
between Italy and America.
AN ITALIAN OUTRAGE.
NEW YORK, April "A Kingston IN.
r. dispatch says considerable excite
ment exists at Lefevre Falls over an
outrage by anumber of Italians employed

nouncing the citizens of New Orleans, and
American institutions in general. They

pole and riddled il with bullets. The
quarry owners hearing of this discharged
the men.
