The follow ing cable despatchwas sent by Sec retary Blaine to-day: Department of State, ) Washington, May 4, 1890. J Porter, American Minister, Rome: A series of statements - addressed tn the Mara uis Imperial! by the Marquis Rudini was telegraphed from Itome yesterday, and published hv tht Associated iPress of the Uni ted States to-day. The only part of the Mara uis Rudini s communica tion which this Government desires to notice is the me here quoted, namely:!" ' I - , T Ivave'now. before me ai note ad dressed to you byt Secretary;Blaine. April 14. ' Its perusal.; produces a most Dainful impression"uponme. I will not stop to lay stress upon the lack of conformity with diplomatic usages displayed! in making use, as Mr. Blaine did not hesitate to ao, oi a portion of a telegram of mine com municated ;to. him in strict - confi dence, in order to' sret rid of a ques tion clearly defined in our official documents. which alone possess a diplomatic value. I I i T'he telegram 6f March 24, con- ccrning'whose public use the Mar ciuis Rudini complains: is the follow ing, which was quoted in full in "my note 'of April 14 to Marquis Imperi- ali, Qiarge of Italy at the capital: ; . M Telegram. .! : Rome) March 24, 1891. , Italian Minister J. Washington! ' Our reouests to the Federal Gov- erntnent are very simple. Some Italian subjects; acquitted by the American magistrates ! have been murdered in prison while under the immediate protection of the author ities. -Our right, therefore, to de mand and obtain the punishment of the, murderers and an indemnity lor the victims is unquestionable. I wish tn.ndrt that the public opinion in Italy is justly impatient, and if con crete Drcrrtsions were not at once taken I should find myself in the painful necessity of showing openly our dissatisfaction, by recalling the Minister of his Maiesfy from a coun try where he is unable to obtain jus tice. .. v I '. . . ' ; ' Rudini. The intimation of the Marquis Rudini that the telegram in ques tion was delivered in strict confi- uencc is a iuiai :ciiui. asviuc tele gram expressed the demand of the Italian Government, it was impossi ble that Marquii Rudini could trans mit it in strict donfidence. As I have already stated, it was communicated to me in person by j Baron Fava, written in English' in his own hand writing, without a suggestion of privacy, and thje telegram itself has not a single mark upon it denoting a confidential character. I have' caused a number of copies of ' the telegram to.be forwarded to you to-day, in fac-simile. The usual mark for Italic printing was used by me under four lines, and they appear in the copies. You will use the fac-similes in such manner as will most effectually prove the error into which the Marquis Rudini has fallen. "! ' Blaine. BLAISE'S POSITION DEFINED. . - ' i A, Distinguished Republican Authority Discusses the Belation of the Secretary to the President. j ; Mr. Murat Halstead writes: That Mr Blaine would not go into an othjer Presidential struggle volun tarily, we are sure, "but that circum stances might arise in which he could and would with "unbending fealty to the riead of the administra tion" obey the call of the : Republi can party without warranting the -slightest suspicion of 'i his loyalty is the common sense I and the gen ? era! understanding of the ' situa tiota, and that). the President himself would head the party in- the call is far from impossible, i That it is the personal wish of Mr. Blaine that President Harrison, should have two terms,, and that he would prefer to go on with his work, as Secretary of state, there lS'.no doubt, and that he will find occasion to express himself to that effect is a .; reasonable pre sumption; but there is no public de mand, at least none that need be heeded, whyj the President or the Secretary should issue proclamations declaring that personal preferences ana a degree of slowness of speech would become- those who are their admirers and havje, or think thev have, strong and commanding de sires. The Republican party will be able in due time to ascertain its own will, arid events rather than men must decide. The j President and Secretary ofj State have been in cor dial co-operation and in very close sympathy, and while their attitude toward each other and relations in the future will bear discussion, be cause open jand clear and fair, the Dest prescription tor, Republicans in considering! Republican preferences is to wait & year. The probability is me nomination lor President will be by acclamation. ; KNOCKED WASHINGTON DOWN How Great George "Was Laid Low by a . .Virginian's Fist. .St. Louis Globe-Democrat. GeneralW. H.

CHILIAN INSURGENT'S VESSEL ITALA. ; Soizad by Order of the U. 8. Government. in a California Port, She Buna Off With TJ. 8. Marshal Left n Charge of the Vessel. i . " By Telegraph to the Morning Star. San Diego, Cala.. May 7. About 3.30 o'clock last evening the Chilian steamer Itala lifted her anchors and quietly steamed down the bay j and out into the ocean, carrying with her uep uty U. S. Marshal Spencer, who as lar as known is still on board, ine ae- nartura of the Itala was not unexpeciea though it was not supposed she would iave as soon as she did. It was rumor ed late in ,the afternoon that she wa oreDaring to leave the harbor ana ine absence of any of her crew from the streets added weignt to ine siory. n. 5 o'clock the captain's gig, which had been lying at the foot of H street, pulled off for the vessel with six men on board and as soon as the boat was hoisted on deck the Itala weighed anchor and steam ed down stream. Marshal Oard was not aware that the captain had any inten tion of disregarding his authority, for he left for Point Loma in a launcn just one hour ahead of the big steamer and had proceeded some distance out to sea be fore he could have been aware that the Itala was followinsr him. Marshal Gard's errand on his second trip out of the harbor was to take the schooner Robert and Minnie, anywhere they might be found in the open seas outside of Msxiran jurisdiction, as a pitatical cratt. The Marshal's launch left the wharf at 4 o'clock. Besides MaiorGard there were on board A C. Spaulding of San Francis co. A. M. Conoughy, Capt. Crawford and four soldiers from the barracks, armea with rifles and ammunition, who had been detailed to go on the expedition at the request of Marshal Oard. it is trim am that the marshal received in structions from Washington that he had authority to take the ioDertana Minnie on the high seas, under the neutrality and piracy laws; but who these orders were issued by could not De ascertained. Marshal Gard was very reticent when questioned on this point, simply saying he meant business,' and he intended to bring the schooner back if be came up to her. At 4 o'clock Wednesday morn ing Marshal Gard and party left for the Coronadb Islands where the Robert and Minnie was last seen, Tuesday. Just out side a sail appeared,' which the tug made for. .As soon as her master saw tne Tia Juana, he put about and. ran south, in order, it was supposed, to get into Mexican waters before he was over hauled. ' The meetins: .place of the schooner and tug was twenty-one and a half miles south of the international line, about fifteen miles southwest of Point Loma. The tug passed to the windward- of the Robert and Minnie, and those aboard had a good chance to observe her closely. On her stern were the words, "Robert and Minnie, ban Francisco." The schooner was sailing under fore and" mail-sail with no jib or top-sails, and was so heavily laden that she made but slow progress. 1 here were but four of her crew yisable and these watched the movements of the tug anxiously through a glass from their position on tne poop, i ne scnooner being in Mexican waters Marshal Gard returned to the port to telegraph for in structions. . . , . j There has at no time ibeen any real doubt, in the minds of those best . in formed, that the ammunition which the Robert and Minnie carried was intended for theChilian transport and that it would be transferred to the hold of the Itala for use by the insurgents as soon as the big steamer obtained what supplies she needed in port. It is definitely known that communications have passed between Capt. Tarrall, of the schooner, and Capt. Menzeum, of the Itala while the Kobert and Minnie was at Catalina and since her arrival off this harbor. The Chilians laid their plans well and they were carried out to the letter, re gardless of the interference Of the U. S. authorities. Just after midnight this ; (Thursday) morning Marshal Gard and party re turned from outside and reported that the Robert and Minnie had completely disappeared; A deputy marshal who had been placed in a small boat at the en trance to the harbor to watch develop ments reported that when the Itala started out the pilot, Dill, was sand wiched between two armed Chilians, while four carthon guarded both bow and stern. He reported that at least eighty Chilians were i drawn up in line on the decks, showine that while the vessel was in port she was plentifully supplied with ' men, arms and ammuni tion. While here she displayed only one small cannon and a crew of 'about sixty men. The deputy reports that when the vessel left the harbor she turnednorth and steamed toward San Clements. : Washington, May 7. Attorney Gen eral Miller this afternoon made public the substance of the correspondence that has passed between officials here and at San Diego, California, relating to the insurgent vessel Itala and the schooner Robert and Minnie. He re fused to give out for publication the full text of the correspondence. Information given by the Attorney General agrees substantially with that received inj the press dispatches-from those two points. Representations upon which ' orders were originally given to the Col lector of Customs and subsequently to tne united states Marshal at ban Diego, to detain the .Robert and Minnie were made to Secretary Foster and the At torney General by the Chilian Minister, and were to the effect that he had in formation that the neutrality laws were being violated. i ..telegrams received by the Attorhev General ihdicated that the steamer Itala, after escaping from San Diego with a deputy marshal on board, had sent him ashore at a point on the coast ..about eight miles below the city. ine Itala is a. Chilian insurgent vessel of iron build. She carries four cannon and about a hundred- men. Telecrams mentioned the probability that the Robert and Minnie would co to San Clemente Island and there transfer Jier arms and ammunition to the Itala. The Attorney General refused to in dicate what further steps he had taken, in the matter since the escape of the two vessels, or to discuss the probability of any international complications aris ing in connection with the matter. The Attorney Oeneral had several confer ences on the subject with- the Secre tary of the Navy J. during , the day, and this gave color to a story that efforts were . to be made to recapture the Itala. "Can vou take the vessel on the high seas without violation ot lawr a reporter asked Sec retary Tracy. "Yes, sir," replied the Secretary, emphatically. ! "Will vou do it?" asked the reporter. "I have no an swer to make to that," replied the Sec retary. "You can!t skin a hare before you catch him." This seems to summarize the present situation. The Itala will be recaptured. if possible, but she has a long start of any pursuer. Probably the new cruiser Charleston is the only naval vessel in those waters that would be able to cope with the audacious and well-armed Itala. But the Charleston is at San Fran cisco; a day would be required to coal her and then she would start from a poiut several hundred miles north of the place the Itala .left. , So that practically the Chilian vessel has at least three days' start of her pursuer. Navy Dapart ment officials will not say whether or not the Charleston will go in chase, but it is known that they have . been can vassing the possibilities of the case. ' The escape of the Italia raises tangled and - important questions of interna tional law. The Alabama claims which cost the British Government twenty million dollars, arose in a similar man ner, through the equipment of a Con federate vessel in an English port and the supplying of men, guns and am munition to her by British vessels. As the ' Itala had been seized by the United States at San Diego, she was technically United States property until discharged, and is therefore liable to recapture on the high seas by a U. b. man of war. or to confiscation if she ever enters a United States port, bo . o s Unnnrn there is no charge ot ,;n(!r ;ther the Itala or the Robert and Minnie. They are charged with violation of neutrality laws, which forbid the fitting out in the United Qtatea nf vessels to war upon a country :.u ..vi, hA United States is at WUU VY LI vmw . Tnoirfonrallv. lecal determina- tionsof this charge involves theques tion as to whether the Chilian insur nanta arp tn he reroo-nized bv the Uni ted States (as they have been by Great Britain) as billigerents, and to the settle ment of this question the State Depart ment officials are already applying themselves.

The Southern Baptist Convention reassembled at 9 o'clock this morning. The first regular business was the appointment of com mittees. Gov. Northern, of Georgia, First Vice President, occupied the chair during the most ot the morning. Ihe Mission Committee, to which was referred that part of the report-of the Foreign Mission Board referring to the Pagan mission reported, and speeches were made by ur. Lr. l. tsagby, ol Virginia; Dr. W. H. Battle, of North Carolina; and Dr. S. H. rort, oi at. lxjuis, urging more persis tent enort and larger contributions.

The Committee on Work in Baptist .fields made its report a,nd speeches were made in behall oi the cause by Rev kt. ts. layior, ot Jtsaltimore, and Rev A. J. Hall. K.ev. ti. k.. Moseiy. Mexican mis sionary, made an address on the work in that field. The special order for 11 o'clock was the Southern Theological Seminary at Louisville. Dr. F. H.

Nothing is easier than fault finding; no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character are required to set up in the grumbling business; but those who are moved by a genuine desire to do good have little time for murmuring or complaint.
