Another Cable Message From
Italy That Is More Pacifi-
catory.
His Government Takes Cog
niZanee Of Our Good In
tentions.
The Marquis Imperali Not Ex-
actly Prepared to Make
Statements.
Evidence That Mr. Blaine's
Letter Has Been Well Re-
ceived.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The Marquis
Imperial was seen late this evening,
but was not prepared to make any
statement as to the latest phase of the
Italian affair. He has not yet transmit
ted the Marquis di Rudinl's latest mes
sage to Secretary Blaine, but expects
to do so in very short time. 1t was
said tonight by persons who have
taken a great deal of interest in this
diplomatic ENHANCEMENT, but who
have been disposed to look Oh
the bright side of the case, that
the message of Marquis di Rudini
clears the situation to some extent and
opens way for the establishment of
the former amicable relations between
the two governments if Italy does not
intend to carry the matter to the last
extremity. The tone of the message
would indicate that the representations
of the attitude of the United States
made in Secretary Blaine's letter to the
Marquis Imperiali, and the explanations
of the status of affairs which it is pre-
sumed Minister Porter made to the
Italian foreign Office, had been we'll re-
ceived by
The Italian Ministry
and that Italy was disposed to await the
regular and orderly procedure of the
judicial institutions of this country. 1t
was suggested in diplomatic circles that
the seriousness of the affair had per-
haps been increased by a misunder-
standing on the part of the Italian
diplomatic authorities, and that they
had possibly in the first instance con-
founded punishment" and ''prosecu-
tion," and had come to the erroneous
conclusion that there was no Intention
oiary to even bring the mat
ter before the regular tribunals
having cOgnizance of the affair, and af-
ford the subjects of Italy the benefits of
our own criminal system. 1t is now
thought that should affairs take no I'M
fOreseen and untoWard turn, the present
excitement will Subside, and that there
is possibility OF harmonious relations
being restoredwlthout the occurrence of
anything more serious than the embar-
rassment and friction due to the fact
that there had been, at past period,
partial severance of the friendly rela-
lions between the two governments.
The Message.
hOME- April - u0 MARQUIS Gil
Rudini. the Italian premier, to-day sent
another cable message to the United
States on the subject of the New Or
leans troubles. This message is adj
dressed to the Marquis Imperial di
Francavill, the secretary of the Italian
legation at Washington, into whose
hands the current business of the 1tal-
ian legation was placed when Baron
Fava, the Italian minister, presented bis
letters of recall. Marquis di Rudini in
structs the Marquis Imperial di Franca
will to hand the message referred to
to Mr. Blaine. The message is in re-
ply to Mr.. BIaine's last note,
and in it the Marquis oil Rudini
says that Italy has asked nothing
but prompt institution of the regular
judicial proceedings against the guilty
parties at New Orleans, He adds that
it would have been absurd to claim
punishment for the offenders without
the guarantees afforded by regular
trial. The diplomatic incident, the
Marquis di Rudini continuing. says,
can only be considered closed when
the federal government has declared in
precise terms that the prosecutions will
be commenced. In the meantime the
Italian government takes cognlZance of
the federal governments declaration
acknowledging the fact that compensa-
ton is 1ue to the families of the victims
by virtue of the treaty existing between
the two countries.
