NEWSPAPERS BULL
ROME, April S.-The MesSdgero of this
city announces that upon tue reassembling
of the Chamber of Deputies the
premier, the Marquis di Rudini,
will submit the correspondence ex
changed between the United States and
the Italian governments on the subject of
the New Orleans lynching. The Mes
sdgero says that this correspondence
the Marquis di Rudini in the international
dispute and declares that President Harri-
sons dispatch to King Humb rt, express
ing the greatest sympathy with Italy and
he House of Savoy, requested King
Humberts IS assistance III the attempts being
made Co reconcile the interests of the two
nations so far as consistent with his dignity
THE KINGS IMAGINARY REPLY.
King Humbert continues the Messagsro,
in reply to this letter from President Har-
rison, said that he entirely approved the
conduct of the Italian government. adding
that at the same time he hoped and desired
that an agreement should be arrived at.
Contrary to the foregoing, many well-n-
formed people here declare that the Fava
recall incident was precipitated on account
of the New Orleans affair in order to afford
the Italian ministry reasons for its failure
TO effect promised reductions in the army,
navy and other national expenditures.
AN OLD CHESTNUT.
The Hatid to-day expresses the OPINION
that the Americans have but one God, their
strong box. 1t says further: I'm this
strong box we must strike them, demand
ing the largest possible indemnity. On thei
tongue there is but one word, 'dollars;' let
us take advantage of it,"
The publication of the Messdgero at
tracted good deal OF attention, but it is
learned on positive authority that the Mes
sogerO was miSinfOrmed. King Humber,
has received no dispatch from President
Harrison and has sent none to him, the Gu
tire correspondence on the New Orleans
subject having been conducted between
the state departments Of tho two oouRtries.
The Hatie says the Marquis iii Rudini
has renewed his instructions to the Italia
consuls in the United States TO counsel calm
ness on the part Of the Italian residents and
that the premier is confident that In cons =
quence of the departure of Baron Fava,
the federal govern nent will give Italy the
satisfaction that Is due.
MORE CORRESPONDENCE.
WASHINGTON, April s. S.-Secretary Blaine
refused tonight to give out the latest
Rudini- Blaine correspondence, but inti-
mated that no would make publication to-
morrow. 1t is said to be very interesting
and to display Secretary Blaine's clever
ness at its best.
