RUDINI BADLY ROUTED.
BLAINE WILL now PROCEED 10
DRESS HIM DOWN.


Ee Will Begin by Oondesc endingly
Approving tie Marquis Change of
Toae-Then Be win Pressed to Give
Him a Few More Pointers About
the Constitution.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-"I will send the
dispatch Of the Marquis di Rudini to Mr..
Secretary Blaine in a few short hours" said
the Marquis Imperiali de Francevilla last
night, but it was not until this morning
that Secretary Blaine received it. 1t was
in Italian and Secretary Blaine had to keep
the cabinet waiting, when it met at its usual
hour, II o'clock. until he could get it trans
lated at the state department.. Then he
carried 1t over to the white house and read
it to the cabinet, which proceeded to discuss
it and the whole situation.
BLAINE PREPARING a REPLY.
1t was expected that Secretary Blaine
would give out a copy of the cablegram
after the cabinet meeting for publication.
but be did not, and it is inferred from this
fact that he is preparing a reply to it, in
which he will condescendingly approve of
Premier Rudinis change Of tone and at the
same time point out to him, first, that the
prosecution Of the lynchers has been begun
by an investigation, and that the United
States government has already notified the
Italian government of that fact; and,
second, that while the United States
admits the principles of indemnification for
injuries to foreigners, 1t by no means
admits that in this case any indemnity is
due that being a matter to be determined
in the future, and that when that fact has
been determined it will be for congress and
not for the executive to say what indemnity
shall be paid and when and how, since it
must appropiia late the money for that pur-
pose, the executive having no permanent
fund to draw upon.
TO GIVE RUDINI A FEW LESSONS.
Secretary Blaine expects to have to give
Premier Rudini several easy lessons in our
cons itutional law yet, but he believes, in
common with the President and the other
members of the cabinet, that the war is
over, and that while there is good deal of
diplomacy ahead in the negotiations which
are to follow, the end is really in sight
They will be surprised if it does not come
out in about this order. The district at
torney at New Orleans will make report
TO the attorney general, telling what has
been and what will be done. This will be
transmitted to Premier Rudini with ap-
propriate comment by Secretary Blaine.
Probably it will state that several of the
lyuched men were Italian citizens and that
none OF the lynchers will be punished.
REGRET TO BE EXPRESSED.
Secretary Blaine will probably express
regret at the fact and at the constitutional
inability Of the United States government
to remedy it. Premier Rudini will then
demand indemnity for the murder of the
Italian subjects. Secretary Blaine will in
form him that he will transmit the demand
TO congress for its action, and there the
matter will end. new minister being sent
TO take Baron Fava's place and the Mar
quis lmperiali acting in the meantime
as charge. or course all this will
take time, and another tempest in Italian
politics may change the course of events.
Foor Baron Fava is really the only man
who gets hurts. Recalled by Premier
Rudlni ana repudiated by Secretary Blaine.
Baron Fava feels very keenly his position
ana talks bitterly about it privately. He
Is particularly annoyed by the fact that
Secretary Blaine raised a question of
yyeracity with him in his letter to Marquis
Imperiah.
TO LOOK INTO THEIR RECORDS.
If this government considers the ouestion
OF Indemnity, inquiry will no doubt be
made into the character Of the alleged sub
Jects of Italy killed in New Orleans.
%hether or not they were compelled to
leave their land, under promise
never to return, and were compensated
10 leave, etc. Should it be found that
these men left their country for their coun-
tfYs good, this government would hardly
consent to compensate their families. 1t is
reported that at the cabinet meeting to-day
leIter was read from either Baron Fava
or tt Che Marquis Imperiali, intimating that
.he recall OF the minister was really but q
teaVe OF absence. Baron Fava is still in
ueu at MS residence, and could not be seen
Vo-nlght with reference to the above report,
"or could the marquis be found.
