Mr. Blaine to Governor Nicholls.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, April 3, 1891.

Please give by telegraph the names of the four Italians who are claimed as subjects of the King. Please give, as accurately as is known, the history of these men before they left Italy. I shall be greatly obliged for a very prompt answer. It is said the men were all criminals in Italy, and that some of them escaped punishment by consenting to come to this country. Give all authentic facts in your possession.

James G. Blaine.
