Orleans ms to the Character and Ante
cedents OF the Tictims OF the Mob.
WASHINGTON, April 8.-The contro-
yersy with Italy over the New Orleans
parish prison affair is not viewed with
the same complacency in some parts OF
the country as in the larger cities. The
present peaceful aspect Of the matter
does not seem to have assured the peo-
pie in some parts Of the country that
serious trouble will not ensue, for Gen.
Grant has received kilograms from
numbers of persons, principally In Ala
bama, Missouri, Montana and South
Dakota, rendering their services to the
government to fight against Italy. The
kilograms will not be answered i%
The reply of Marquis Di Rudini to
Secretary Blaine's note has not yet
been made public. In fact II may not be
made public at all, except in 80 far as Its
text may be Incorporated In Secretary
Blaine's response. II this government
considers the question of indemnity, II
is said that inquiry will be made as to
the standing in Italy Of the alleged
italian subjects; whether or not they
were compelled TO leave Italy for crimes
committed or attempted In the cases
of several Of the men killed the charge
seems to be well supported that they
were outlaws in their native country.
In that event, compensation or repara-
tion would hardly be demanded or al
lowed. II Is now also intimated that
the recall of Baron Fava is virtually
nothing more than leave Of absence.
At late hour last night Secretary
Blaine informed representative OF the
United Press that he had nothing to
say in regard TO Italian matters; that
probably nothing would be made public
before Monday II at all. Secretary
Blaine was entertaining a party Of
friends at his residence and was ap-
parently not worried over the Italian
situation.
NEW YORK, April 6.-The Mail and
Express publishes the following:
"RoME, April 8.-The Mail and Ex-
press correspondent has just been able
TO obtain the personal views of the Mar
quis di Rudini on tho present rather
complicated diplomatic situation be-
tween this country and the United
States. He was not able TO see the
prime minister as he prefers to not talk
directly for publication.
Negotiations are still pending for the
settlement Of the difficulty but, asked
an intimate friend Of mine who is also q
close personal friend Of the marquis to
learn his attitude aside from the mis-
representations which are almost In
separable from newspaper reports
which are founded on somewhat remote
hearsay. Our common friend on behalf
Of the Mail and Express correspondent
asked the Marquis di Rudini precisely
how he felt toward the United States at
this moment. The prime minister's
reply was that he harbored none but
the most friendly sentiments toward
the United States government and these
had not really been disturbed by the
action which he felt called upon to take
as the representative Of the Italian peo-
pie, upon being officially made acquain.

the position which Mr.. Blaine was
obliged to take in the matter. He said
that he had no intention of pushing
any demands and was content with
having taken one positive step as pro-
test against what he was led TO believe
at the time was q neglect on the part Of
the United States government TO pro
tect the lives OF Italian citizens in
America, under the provision of the
treaty. He expressed himself as aware
that to do anything more at this juno
ture would be grave error on his part
as he has perfect confidence in the sim

government.
Finally he said II shall now simply
