GREAT REGARD
FOR AMERICA.
What Di Rudini Says Of The
Controversy.
BE Is Confident That Italy and the United
States Will Reach an hmiCible
Agreement-A Prisoner.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

NEW YORK, April 4.-The Mail and Ex-
press has cabegram from Rome on the
present situation. A mutual friend of the
correspondent and Premier di Rudlni OBJ
tained a statement from Di Rudin. The
Premier said he haIbored none but the most
friendly sentiments toward the United
States. These had really been disturbed by
the action which he felt called upon to take
as the representative of the Italian peo-
pie, upon being officially made acquainted
with the New Orleans affair and the posi-
tion which Blaine was obliged to take in
matter. He had no intention of pushing
any demands, and was content with having
taken one positive step as protest against
what he was led to believe at the time was
neglect on the part of the United States to
protect the lives of italian citizens in
America under the provisions of treaty.
He expressed himself as aware that TO
do anything more at this juncture
would be grave error on his
part, as he has perfect confidence in
the sincerity and justice of the United
States. Finally he said: II shall now
simply wait for further details of the
Louisiana authorities and of the intentions
of the United States Government, but what
ever these may be, l am quite sure that
settlement thoroughly satisfactory to both
parties will be found, and that the friend
ship which binds the two nations will re-
main unalterable and secure"
NOTHING NEW AT WASHINGTON.
It
nounced that the State Department had
nothing to make public to-day respecting
the Italian correspondence. The excite
ment in departmental circles over Baron
Fava's recall has subsided. The incident
will, it is believed, take its place in the or
dinary calendar of open diplomatic matters,
whose disposition usually is characterized
by delberation and patient investigation.
Baron Fava is thought to be somewhat
better to-day. He is still quite weak and
confined to his ROOM 1t is impossible TO
tell how long he will be detained in Wash
ington.
Volunteers for service in the army in case
of war are still coming in to the War De-
partment Acting Secretary Grant to-day
received kilograms from Alabama, Missouri
and South Dakota, to the effect that the

HELD 4 PRISONER IN ITALY.
ST. LOUIS, april "A special from st.
Joseph. Mo-. says that DR.. William S.
Leach OF ST. joseph is one Of the Ameri-
can citizens held in Italy by the Italian
Government His family received dispatches
from him yesterday, which was the first
knowledge they had that he is in Italy.
BLAINE's COURSE APPROVED.
LONDON, April 4.-Blaines note to
the Italian Secretary has turned opin-
ion much more strongly in his favor
than hitherto. Blaiue's handling of the
question is thought by European dip
lomatsts to be equally firm and iudicIous.
1t is not believed. either by the general pub
lie or in diplomatic circles, that any very
serious or prolonged rupture between Italy
and the United States is to be feared. 1t is
more truly a struggle between Marquis di
Rudini and SignOr Crispi than between
Itaiy and America.
