American Minister, Home: A series of statements addressed to the Marquis Imperiali by the Marquis KiKlini wa.3 telegraphed froui Rome yesterday and was publi.shed by ths press of the United States to-day. Tlie only purt of the rfárquis Kudini's communlcatton wbioh tois governmcnt desiresto notice is the one here quoted- namely : " 'I ! : ore me a note addressed to you by Secretar; Blaine April 14. lts perusal produces a most painful impressiun upon me.
