WASHINGTON CRY, April 1O.-Today be-

Letter Probably Sent Already-FAlse
Report OF Italian Hostility.
New York, April 10--Baron Fava, the
recalled Italian minister, leaves by the
steamer LaGascogne for home tomorrow.
WASHINGTON CRY, April l0.-It is known
here that Secretary Blaine has prepared an
answer to the message of Premier Rudini
The fact of the preparation of Secretary
Blaine's reply is not only well understood,
but it is stated, moreover, that the secre-
tary's letter was submitted to the prcsi-
dent and cabinet and found to be
satisfactory. In view of these cir
cumstances, it is asserted with con-
siderable confidence that the letter
of Secretary Blaine has already been sent
to Marquis Rudini, though whether ir was
communicated by mail or telegraph is not
known. If the former method was
adopted the Italian premier, it is believed,
was apprised of the fact. 1t is suggested
also as very probable that intimations have
been conveyed of the advisability of con-
ducting diplomatic negotiations be-
tween the two countries with less pub
licity.
For these reasons it is thought to be
almost impossible that today's rumor in
Rome can be correct. Nothing could be
secured in official circles tonight relative
to the report from Rome that Italy would
close direct diplomatic intercourse with the
United States unless reply was received
tomorrow to the last message of Premier
Rudini on the New Orleans incident.
The Rome dispatch was shown to both the
president and Secretary Blaine tonight
and each returned word that he had moth
ing to say on the subject. There was a
general disposition to discredit the report
in unofficial circles.
ROME, April lot is reported that if
the United States government does not
answer Marquis Imperiali's note by to-
morrow the Americans here will be or
dered to leave Italy and the whole Italian
legation in Washington City will be re-
called and Italian interests left in charge
of the British minister.

NEW YoaK, April l0.-The Suns WASH
ington correspondent says Blaine is again
considering the race for the presidency in
1892. An alleged friction between Harri-
son and the secretary is given as the
foundation for this rumor.
WAsHIxGToS CITY, April 10.-[Spccial. +
Great interest was taken in political circles
today in a rumor that Secretary Blaine
had given out to some of his friends that
he was willing to stand as candidate for
the presidency next year. 1t turns out
that the rumor is correct only in part.
Two of Mr.. Blaine's friends, residents of a
distant state, called on him last night and
demanded his consent that they should go
to work fixing up their delegation for
Blaine in the national convention of 1852.
Blaine, according to these men, replied
that he could not be candidate against
Mr. Harrison; that he was in the cabinet
and was himself TO. Harrison's reno,nina-
ton.
Blank Harrison one of the callers re-
sponded; I'VE don't want him, and the
country doesn't want him. We want you.
While it is true that you can't come out as
candidate. you can promise us and other
friends that if we go to work for you, you
won't withdraw your name or write any
letters of declination. VIII you promise
that?'
Mr.. Blainc's friends say he did promise,
and that they left him determined to go
home and whoop them up for Blaine in
1892. It's known that some such CONVEX
sation took place. and while it is not be-
ieved Mr.. Blaine has authorized his
friends to go to work for him, it is pretty
certain he is much more likely to enter the
presidential field than he was . week ago.

VANCOUVER, B. e., April 10.-fSpecial. T.
The first conviction under the stringent
rules laid down by the department OF
marine with regard to the employment of
only properly certified masters and engin-
eers on board steamers plying in Canadian
waters, was made this morning. Hugh
Stalker, master of the Union Steamship
company's steamer Senator, appeared in
the police court before l. H. Hallett,
charged with having employed one John
Corkhill as engineer of the steamer, the
said Corkhill not being in possession of an
engineers certificate, as provided for by
the steamboat inspection act, section 43.
The defendant, who was not represented
BY counsel, pleaded guilty. Captain Nc
Phaiden. of the company, who was pres
ent, addressed the court, stating that the
company had engaged Corkhill for a few
days in place Of the regular engineer. who
was employed in placing the new engines
In the steamer Skidegate, and it had been
inconvenient to replace him by "a certified
man. ]. A. Thomson, steamboat inspector,
who appeared on behalf of the govern
ment, said this was not valid excuse, as
any mechanical engineer could be en-
ployed to put engines in steamboat, and
the Senator's engineer should not have
been taken for the work. The court was
disposed to infiict light penalty as this
was the first offensc, and thought $40
would meet the case. Mr.. Thomson, how
ever, pointed out that under section 43 the
penalty was 500, and no rebate on this
could be made. The full 500 fine was
therefore imposed.

who heard them at work little before 7
O'Clock. He heard the disturbance in the
room in which the cage is located, and
quietly went to the door with gun in
hand. As he opened the room door the
inner door of the cage fell with crash, and
Seffern, the postoffice burglar. fell down
with it. Seeing that the outside door of
the cage was all right, Hutton ordered the
prisoners into their hunks.
Sheriff Delanty and Jailcr Furlong were
sent for, and the four prisoners were
ironed and placed in other cells, and an
examination was made of the< cage. 1t
was found that the iron table attached to
the cage by hinges was broken off and had
been used to pry the inside door clear out
of its sockets. 1t was the intention of the
prisoners to use the door to wrench off the
outside door or break it down. Possibly
ten minutes work would have freed the
outfit.
