Reply to Enthusiastically Rumors.
WASHINGTON, D. O., April IL Reports
from Rome are to the effect that the
papers published there yesterday, con
armed the report that in the event OF
the Italian Government not receiving a
reply to It's last communication to the
American State Department with regard
10 the New Orleans massacre, by April
10, the Minister OF the United States to
Italy, Mr.. A. G. Porter, will be rs-
quested to withdraw from the country
The original source Of the report seemf
to give it increased plausibility. This
was learned from q prominent member
OF the Chamber OF Deputies, who is as
ardent supporter of Marquis di Rudinii
and who IS believed TO share his conh'
dence. Whether the Premier has aCtu'
ally decided upon the extreme course in'
dicated is questionable. 1t was suK
pested in the dispatches from Rome that
the report was given out to test ltaly'f
public opinion before the Cabinet should
commit itself absolutely TO 30 grave g
step.
Itisnow a matter Of positive knowledge
however, that the Italian Government has
not sent 10 this Government or any OF Its
representatives, q notification that re-
ply ia expected to Marquis Rudini's note
r,f,hin anv Rnecidsd time. It ie not Gus
tomary in diplomacy for any nation to
dictate the date OF correspondence cop
ing from another nation, and had Italy
adopted this course 1t would certainly
be regarded with umbrage by our OWE
Government, and would excite great sur
prise among the diplomats OF othei
nations whose customs are regulated by
nnWritten but almost immuiable law.
