Blaine "Most Smart Politician"
DR.. Roversi, of II Progresso
Italo Americana, stated tonight that
he had been authorized by Baron Fava to
state for publication that he was only 60
ing to Rome on ''leave of absence" and
that he is still the Italian minister in
Washington. Dr. Rovelsi further stated
that he believes Secretary Blaine is a
''most smart politician, but in this affair
he has been altogether too tricky, that
his policy exceeded the limits Of
diplomacy. Referring to recent dis
patches from Rome he said he believed
them fictitious or sent either by French
newspapers or inspired by the vatican.
Nonsense!
Secretary Tracy said today that the cur
rent rumors that orders had been sent to
all the navy yards to hasten the work on
vessels, guns, etc., were nonsense. He
would not talk Italian matter further than
to say there is no danger of conflict.
Excitement in Rome.
ROME, April 1.-THE principal topic
of conversation today has been the latest
report put in circulation last evening to
the effect that unless the American gov
eminent made speedy reply to
Premier Rudini's last note Minister Foster
would be politely requested to leave
Rome and the Italian legation
be recalled from Washington. Such IN
attitude on the part of the Italian govern
ment seemed so unreasonable, in view OF all
recent developments, that last night these
reports were discredited. Many of the
newspapers, however, today gave it prom
inence and asserted the belief that it was
substantially correct. They say the Amer
lean government was allowed till April IA
O reply. The original report fixed today
as the limit The original source of the
report seems to give it increased PLAUSIBLE
ity This, it is learned, was prominent
member Of the chambers of deputies who
is an ardent supporter of Rudini, and who
is believed to share his confidence.
No fine Set.
WASHINGTON, April 11.-Secretary
Blaine was indisposed today and confined
to his room by an attack of the govt. In
the course of the afternoon the president
walked over and consulted with the secre-
tary respecting diplomatic matters
that may require action during
the presidents approaching absence
from Washington. 1t is now matter of
positive knowledge that the Italian gov
eminent has not sent TO this government
or any Of its representatives notification
that replvis expected to Rudini's note
within any specified time.
MUTUAL MURDER.
