CLAUSES ExPLAIEED-JUDIcIAL REMEDY.
The State Department last night, as was an
ticipated, made public the last two notes Of the
Italian diplomatic correspondence. The most
recent letter from Rome, through Marquis I'M
peIiali. was the first one in order and il as
follows:
NOTE OF THE MARQUIS IMPERIALI.
ROYAL LEGATION OF ITALY, WASHINGTON, April
2, 1s91.--Mr. Secretary of State: hasten to ac-
knowledge the receipt of the note which your
exceilency did me the honor to address to me
on the LIST instant, in reply to that whereby
Baron Fava informed you of his departure on
leave. / have laid the contents of your ex-
cellency's aforesaid note before the government
of the king and his excellency the president of
the council, his majesty minister for foreign
affairs, has just directed me to address the fol-
lowing communication to you: The govern
ment of the king of Italy has asked nothing be-
yond the prompt institution of judicial pro-
ceedings through the regular channels. II
would have been absurd to claim the punish
ment of the guilty parties without the war
rant of regular Judgment. The Italian
government now repeats the same demand.
Not until the federal government shall have
explicitly declared that the aforesaid proceed
ings shall be promptly begun can the diplo-
matte incident be considered as closed. Mean
while, his majestys government takes note Of
the declaration whereby the federal govern
hat m ind arnnltv m
the families Of the victims in virtue of the
treaty in force between the two countries"
have, therefore, the honor to bring the
foregoing to the knowledge Of your excellency,
and l avail myself of this occasion to offer you,
Mr.. Secretary Of State, the assurances Of my
highest and most respectful consideration.
IMPERIAL.
His excellency, James G. Blaine, Secretary of
State.
