Associated Press Dispatches.


Blaine is not yet prepared to make pub
lie anything throwing additional light
on the Italian affair, and unless there
should be, contrary to all expectations,
another bombshell, it is probable that
the italian ENHANCEMENT will take the
usual tedious course of diplomacy. The
speed with which this international cor
respondence has thus far been conduct
ed is said by diplomats to be extraor-
binary. While willing to utilize the
modern methods OF cable and telegraph
to keep ministers acquainted with mat
ters Of especial Importance, they are
averse to pursuing this course where
declarations of national policy must be
outlined. Now that Secretary Blaine
has succeeded in his efforts to calm the
agitation of the Italian government,
they expect the affair to be adjusted in
the customary calm mode of correspon-
dence, which eliminates to a great ex-
tent all sudden ebullitions Of feeling and
passion.
AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.
The Post, tomorrow, after referring to
the possibility of america for Ameri-
cans" being one Of the rallying cries in
the next campaign, will say: 1T is re-
garded as quite within the range of
probability that the national platforms,
next year, will favor restrictive immi-
grafton laws, or they may recommend
that ali foreigners who engage in busi-
ness in the United States, and enjoy the
protection of this government, shall be-
come naturalized citizens. If Italy had
not been so aggressive, the issue would
not have been so well defined. If the
sentiments that are now expressed pri-
vately by the senators and representa-
tives of both parties in Washington,
find echo in the platforms, they will
make interesting reading"
FAvA THE MIsCHIEF-MAKER.
PARIS, April 5.-The conflict between
Italy and the United States continues to
attract the attention of Sighor Raqueni,
editor of the Epoque, organ of the
Italian colony, who said in an interview
today: ''The Republicans in Italy, who
form powerful minority, entertain a
friendly feeling toward America, and
would consider war with the United
States simply an attempt to discredit in
the eyes of the Italian people republi-
can institutions. A recent meeting OF
Italians in Paris discussed the New Or
leans affair, and while everybody repro
bated the conduct of the lynchers, no.
body approved the action of Di Rudini.
Baron Fava is an aristocrat not in SYM
pathy with republican institutions.
His report to the Italian cabinet was
doubtless colored by his own anti-re-
publican views, and this precipitated
the matter"
WAR WOULD RUIN ITALY.
another potent factor" said Raque-
nj, 'has given the Italian government
reason to pause in its hostile negotia-
tions. Financial houses here state that
in Italy widespread commercial troubles
are becoming critical, and apart from
Italy's overwhelming public debt,
which would disable her in an attempt
to 60 to war, any measure imperilling
peace, would produce general financial
crash. Already the effect of the Amer
ican difficulty is felt in the hesitation of
French financial houses to proceed with
negotiations pending for prospective
Italian loan, in which German houses
are concerned"
