JAMES G. BLAINE. To Marquis Imperiali, Charge d'Aftaires. MARQUIS 1MrER1AL1's REPLY.
 His Excellency James G. Blaine, Secretary, etc, etc.
 Mir. Secretary: You were pleased to in- form me, by your note of to-day, that the federal government had decided to pay to Italy by way of idemnity the gum of 125.- 900 francs, to be distributed by the Italian government among the families of the royal subjects who were victims of the massacre which took place March If, 1891, in the city of n,1a oI. pressed the hope that the decision reached | by the president would put an end to the | unfortunate incident to which that deplor- ! able occurrence gave rise, and that the I friendly relations between the two coun- | tries would be firmly e-established. After having taken note, with much pleasure, of the language used by the pres ident in his message of December last, and after having fully appreciated> the words of regret and censure uttered with SO much authority by the chief magistrate of the republic, and likewise the recommen- dations to congress that were suggested to his lofty wisdom by the unhappy incident, ! the government of his majesty is now glad l to learn that the United States acknowl- edge that it is their solemn duty, and at the same time great pleasure, to pay an idemnity to Italy.
 The kings government does not hesi- tate to accept this indemnity without pre- judice to the judicial steps which it may be proper for the parties to take and, con sidering the redress obtained sufficient, it sees no reasons why the relations between the governments, which relations should faithfully reflect the sentiment of reciprocal esteem and sympathy that ami mate the two nations, should not again become intimate, cordial and friendly, as they have traditionally been in the past and as it is hoped they will ever be in the future.
 In bringing the foregoing to your knowl- edge, in virtue of the authorization given me by his excellency the Marquis di Rud' mi, president of the council. minister of foreign affairs, in the name of the govern. ment of his majesty the king of Italy, my august sovereign, have the honor to de. clare to your e1cellency that the diplomat |. ic relations between Italy and the United States are from this moment fully re- established.
 hasten, moreover, in obedience to in struotion received, to inform you tha pending the minister's return to this capi tol, I have taken charge of the royal lega tion, in the capacity of charge d'affaires. Be pleased to accept, etc., etc.,
 IMPERIALI.
