Tue words underscored are precisely those
which quoted In my former ncte. and / am

faction OF this government with the very mo
tcrial Qualification Of the demand made by the
Marquis Rudini on behalf of the italian gov
crruent You quote in your note another psrt
OF he aarquis Radinfs telegram Of April in
these words:
Meanwhile his majesty government takes
rots u the declaration whereby the federal
government recognizes that an Indemnity il
due TO the families Of the victims in virtue Of
tho treaty In forcs between the Two countries
IF tie Marquis Radinf will carefully exam
inc nv note Of April he will discover that
did rot recogrtzs that an indemnity Is due 20
the families Of the victims Ia virtue OF tie
treaty IN force between the two countries
What afd say was Ia answer 10 Baron Fsva's
assertion that the United states government
refused 70 take fhts dcma and for indemnity ia,o
consideration. quote nv reply:
The United States. so far from refusing. has

The Marquis Radini mny b assured that
sbe United States would recompense every
italian subject who might be wronged By .
violation OF q treaty 20 which the faith OF the
United States is pledged. But this assurance
leaves unsettled the important question wbeth-
er the treaty has rees violated Upon this
posnt the president with sufbeiess facts placed
before h.m. has taken full time for decision.
