Misunderstanding may possibly exist
as to the real nature of the letter Of
Governor Nichols to Secretary Blaine
with respect to tho killing of tho Ital,

sent the letter to his Government and
that possibly that Government may in

AMERICANS IN ITALY.
Late this afternoon certain erroneous
alleged outrages on American citizens
III Italy. Careful inquiry at the de-
partment of State fails to disclose more
than two complaints of that character
during the past six months. Moreover
they appear to be devoid Of features
calculated to give rise to international
complications. In one case an Ameri-
can citizen, who was in the habit of
crossing the Piedmont boundary line
IN frequent drives, was suspected of
smuggling, and when he refused to
allow Italian customs officers to search
his carriage for cOntraband articles he
was arrested and made Il bitter COM
plJlnt of diScOurteSy. In the other case
an Italian returned from the United
States was arrested for alleged brigan-
dage in 1866. 1t appeared upon con-
sultlng the records that he had beer in
cluded in an amnesty proclamation, so
he was released just as our State de-
partment discovered that he had been
1raudulently naturaliZed in this coun-
try when he had lived here only two
years.
