TAKING HIS TIME.
Premier Rudini'S Last Note
Remains Unanswered.
Secretary Blaine Refuses to Say When
Ills Reply Will Be Forwarded.
An UlCOnfrmed Report That Minister
Porter Is Likely 10 Ee Recalled.
Rome officials RetiCGnt.


WASHINGTON. April 13.-But two facts
could be added to-day to the public stock of
information respecting the diplomatic en-
tanglement with Italy. growing out of the
New Orleans tragedy. One of these was
the State Department has not received any
intimution from the Italian Government
that their last note must be answered before
a given date. nor is such lntimation eX-
pected, for the department feels that 1t is
acting properly, and it would be very un-
usual course for nation engaged in diplo
matte negotiations to question the motives
upon which the correspondence proceeded.
The second fact is that Secretary Blaine's
answer to Marquis Rudinis last note las
not yet been forwarded. 1t was probably
the Secretary's purpose to accompany his
reply with an official statement touching the
nationality of the New Orleans victims, and
other facts that were expected from the Of
ficials of the Department of Justice in New
Orleans. These reports have not yet reached
Washington, and unless the Secretary is pre-
pared to send his letter without these facts,
it is not likely to go forward Immediately.
LESS TRANQUIL.
New YORK, April 13.-A Washington
special says: The appearance of things at
the department is less tranquil than on sat
uTday though the idea of hOstlities Is Still
h-poohed as absurd. The Presidents
preparations for his trip have not been
changed in any respect, aud this is consid-
cred a sign that he, at least, does not deem
the situation at all critical.
PoRTER's RECALL LIKELY.
The situation has not improved as re-
CARDS the relations between the United
States and Italy, and whether it occurs now
or later on the recall of Porter and the COM
plete rupture of diplomatic relations are
likely. Failing to get satisfaction, Italy
will have to make some demonstrations t
displeasuTe. What she already has done
might lie a sufficient demonstration if made
after we failed to comply with her demands,
but her Minister having been recalled before
The offtnSP, she must seek some ether eX-
preston of displeasure after the otiense TO
make complete diplomatic rupture. This
is the least she can do, having already done
SO much, and ii is the most she can afford to
do ia the face IL the complication Of Eu-
ropean affairs and the poverty Of her treas
ury.
NO NEWS IN ROME.
ROME. April l3.-It has been impossible
to learn anything further concerning the re-
port that the Italian Cabinet had decided to
request United States Minister Potter to
leave Rome in case no reply to Premier Ra-
dnis last note was received from Secretary
Blaine by tomorrow. Officials are reucent,
and journalists are unable TO secure definite
confirmation or denial At the American
Legation nothing could be learned. Minister
Porter has heard nothing except what he
has read in the press. In wel-informei
circles the prevailing opinion, as nearly as
one can gather, is that the Prem ier will not
proceed to eXtrenities at this juncture.

dition Of affairs change until the
natives shall have been taught by
Europeans the dignity, utility and
blessings OF labor. Stanley's name, says
Williams, produces a shLdder among these
simple folks. They remember his broken
promises, heavy blows and rigorous meas
