ITALY'S LEGATION.
Premier Rudini's Note to the
Marquis Imperiali
RECEIVES NO OFFICIAL ATTENTION.

1t Was Probably Written TO Convey
the Idea in Italy That the Home
Government Is Pursuing a Wig
orous PoIicy-Minister Porter's Po-
sition i'm the Controversy.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The letter OF
the Marquis di Rudini to the Marquis
d'Imperiali, charge d'affaires of the Ital-
ian legation, making him the direct rep
resentative of Italy in the United st ates,
has not made ripple on the calm sur
face of Washington life. It throws nc
new light on the controversy, and only
purports to close an incident that was
practically closed by Mr.. Blaine's last
note. The reiteration of the Italian for
eign minister's surprise at the treaty max
ing power of the United States is anus
ing, but nothing more. 1t isnot thought
that the instructions to Imperiah to con-
fine his duties to routine matters means
that diplomatic relations are to be broken
off. Were that the case Charge
dAffaires Imperiali would be recalled.
The Italian government will have to
wait the action of the local authorities
at New Orleans.
ImperiaIi Is Reticent.
The Marquis di Imperiali was asked to
define his position as he understood it.

hAhoOls thFhiLALh- ness Of the legation"
AS has been the case at everv step Of
the italian negotiations the state depart
ment officials decline to allow them
selves to be quoted as expressing any
opinions. But privately they do not
appear to attach particular Importance
TO the last note.
In the first place that note was not ad-
dressed to Secretary Blaine, and It's safe
to say that its tenor would have been
entirely different if it had been. Nor
was 1t intended TO be shown to him. 1t
is regarded as intended solely for "do-
mestic consumption" being rather
cleverly calculated to inspire the Italian
people with the idea their government is
pushing a vigorous and resentful policy.
Minister Porter's Position.
Touching the position of Mr.. Porter,
our minister to Rome, nothing has vet
been done by Secretary Blaine. There
is n lack of precedents to fit this case. If
the legation had been entirely with
drawn the matter would have been in
line with other cases. In the complica-
ton between Austria and the United
States. growing out of the rejection by
Austria of United States Minister Kelly
the United States refrained from sending
another minister in his place.
After waiting reasonable length of
time the Austrian minister here was
granted an indefinite leave of absence,
and he stayed away until the United
States saw fit to replace Mr.. Kelly with
another minister, when all went on as
before. Possibly this case, although
differing in detail, may serve as an indi-
cation of the course that will be pursued
by the United States government re-
specting Mr.. Porter, if the situation does
not in a reasonable time show signs of
amelioration.
The Next Diplomatic Move.
While it is thought the relations be-
tween the two nations are not in the
least improved by this latest Italian
''caper," the great difference in the tone
of the premiers first note, which en-
bodied demand and an ultimatum, and
his latest, which suggests grievance or
aprotest, is freely commented upon in
diplomatic circles and leads many to
hope for more satisfactory relations be-
tween the two countries before long.
Tho next step taken by this gove---.aent
in the matter will probably be con,.ua-
nication from Secretary Blaine TO I'M
periali, based on the report of the dis
trict attorney at New Orleans in regard
to the nationality and character of the
men detained in the New Orleans prison
