: ROME, April 4.-The Marquis Di Ru
) dini, the Italian premier, has sent an
, other cable message to the United State
on the subject Of the New Orleans trou
BILE. The message is addressed to thu
Marquis Imperialli, the secretary of thu
Italian legation at Washington into who's,
hands the current business of the Italian
legation was placed, when Baron Fava
the Italian minister, presented his lette
the Marquis Imperialli, to hand the mes
sage referred to to Mr.. Blaine. Tht
message is in reply to Mr.. Blaine's las
note and in it the Marquis, Di Rudin
says that Italy has asked nothing but {
prompt institution of the regular judicia
proceedings against the guilty parties al
New Orleans. He adds that it would
have been absurd to claim punishment
for the offenders without the guarantee
afforded by a regular trial. The diplo.
matte incident, the Marquis Di Rudini
continuing says, can only be considered
closed when the federal government has
declared in precise terms that the prose.
cution will be commenced. In the mean
time the Italian government takes cogni-
zance of the federal governments declara-
ton acknowledging the fact that COM
pensation is due to the families of the
victims by virtue of the treaty existing
between the two countries.
U. s. MINISTER PORTER.
Rome.-It is learned from reliable
sources that the United States minister
has done much to pacify the italian gov
ernment and that he has won over to his
way of thinking the other ministers, sew
eral of whom have been trying to induce
the Italian premier, the Marquis Di Ru.
dini, to be less hasty.
The idea of war is secuted here in gov
ernment circles. Even Baron Fava's
final withdrawal is not definitely decided
upon. 1t is said that even if Baron Fava
is withdrawn it will be done as the most
forcible protest known in diplomacy and
not as forerunner of conflict between
the United States and Italy.
The Italian cabinet ministers are in re-
ceipt Of a large number of cablegrams and
letters from prominent Italians from New
York urging moderation upon the Italian
Orleans trouble.
GREAT INDIGNATION.
Washington. on.-Secretary Blaine's letter
to Marquis Imperialia is very strongly
commended by men of all shades of poll
tics here and the opinion is widely ex-
pressed that it will bring the Italian gov
ernment to calmer consideration of the
matter. There is considerable public in
dignation expressed at the attitude in the,
matter by Italian-Americans/ who have
long been citizens of the United States
and are now taxing sides with the Italian
government and demanding satisfaction.
There is feeling that if these men are
American citizens and have taken the
oath of allegiance to the United States
they are no longer subjects of Italy whose
duty it is to take up arms in her defenses.
AS ono gentleman in public life remarked
to-day: Italy would have no difficulty in
landing troops in America. They could
be landed under our immigration laws,
WANTS THE BIG GUNS READY.
Ex-Representative Farquhar, of New
York, speaking of the correspondence
published yesterday, said he believed Mr..
Blaine's letter would appeal to the good
sense of every foreign nation. He said
"Italy does not want war; she wants to
shake us up. The secretary should send
letter-a circular letter--to the con-
tractors who are engaged in constructing
naval vessels ordering them to hurry up the
work OF completing the vessels as quickly
as possible, at the governments risk for
damages and extra expense. This mere
indication that we were ready to prepare
for anything Italy might be disposed to
do; that we did not intend to yield when
we were in the right, would put an end to
Italy's demonstrations"
sPoTLING FOR FIGHT.
Dodge City.-The following dispatch
was yesterday sent to New Orleans:
To the Mayor and Citizens of New Orleans
The people of Dodge City, Kas., in
mass meeting assembled, resolved that
this meeting expresses the sentiment of
the city and county and say to the Cres-
cent city that 1000 able bodied men
spoken for in this resolution are ready to
go to Louisiana and shoot, and they will
shoot when called on by our government
and when Italy's hostile attitude demands
it.

| NO SYMPATHY.
London.-In an interview to-day Signor
Bonaciana, president of the Italian cham.
ber of commerce in this city, character.
lied Baron Fava's action as somewhat
precipitated. 1t was a mere flash in the
pan which would end in nothing. Signor
Bonaciana added, there is not much
sympathy among the Italians in London
with the men who were lynched in New
Orleans.
GOING HOME.
New York.--The editor of the Eco
D'ltalia has received a dispatch from
Baron Fava stating that he will sail fol
home to-day, Saturday.
