Brazil Satisfied

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9l.-The reciprocity
amendment to the tariff bill reported from
the finance committee last week was last
night the subject of an interview between a
senator and Brazilian envoy on a special
mission to the United States. Mendonca
said the amendment was satisfactory to
Brazil and she would be one of the first
countries to make concessions to the United
States in return for the removal of the duty
on sugar.
Mendoza said his government would not
only remove duty on farm products ex-
ported from the United States, but would
admit free United States agricultural inn
plements and machinery supplies including
railroad iron. Brazil would also, he said,
in duty on cotton and leather goods and
clothing from the United States.

port Of San Jose by omoers OF the duate-
malan government, and until exact facts
and circumstances connected with the af-
sair are known. it does mot care TO express
any opinion Of tho case or Of tho course of
Minister Mizner. A case involving identical
principles occurred in Nicaragua in 1885,
and in that case Secretary Bayard informed
our minister to Central America that the
government had right to take
q man wanted from an American merchant
vessel, provided she were in Nicaraguan
waters. The case was that of Jose Gomez.
In letter dated Guatemala, February 10,
1885. Minister Hall informed Secretary FREE
he had been informed that the
Guatemalan government proposed to take
Honduras, then lying in San Juan Del Sur,
passenger named Gomez, in transit for
Panama, but wanted in Nicaragua TO an
sver the charge Of being implicated in the
recent insurrectisn. Minister ball said
he had directed our consul at Nicaragua
to inform the Nicaragua Rovernmsnt that
our government 10 never connected with
the arrest and removal from an American
vessel in foreign port of any passenger in
transit, much less il the offense lie political.
The captain of the vessel did not give up
the man, and sailed out Of port without 60
curing proper clearance papers,: He was
tried and convicted for this by Nioeraguan
authorities. The case came before the state
department in this way. II held that the
minister, Hall, had not acted according to
law. In his letter to the minister, which is
dated March L., 1886, Secretary Bayard
says: It appears Gomez voluntarily took
passage on the vessel, knowing 1t would
enter enroute Nicaraguan port. It may
safely be affirmed when a merchant weasel
of one country visits port Of another for
purposes Of trade it owes temporary allie
glance and is amenable to the Jurisdiction
Of that country, and is subject to
laws which govern the port it
visits 90 long az it remains, unless
otherwise provided for by treaty. Any OK
emption or immunity from legal jurisdic.
tion must be derived from the consent Of
that country. It is said cases have fre-
quently occurred in which revolutionists
and others wanted for odenses Of one char
aoter or another had been seized BY the
Hawaiian government while on British
merchant ships and Great Britain has not
protested. thus establishing diplomatic
precedents. The Barrundia affair differs
from others in that the man was shot. but
right to seize being conceded, right to kill,
if resistance is made, is an old established
principle of law. The principal criticism
made in diplomatic circles of Minister
MINERS course is that of unnecessary IN
reference. It is suggested he might have
simply state / to the Guatemalans that they
seized the man at their own risk. But the
department awaits exact information az te
what he did do.
