PREMIER RUMNI'S REPLY.
Mr. Blaine Beaenta the Imputation that
Ho Made Dae of a Confidential Telegram
Washington, May 4. The follow

retary Blaine to-day:

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 - ,

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.

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. ;

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.
