DETAILS OF THE WORK.
The correspondence preceding the pro-
mitigation Of the treaty was begun by Secre-
AIRY Blaine, who, in a letter bearing date of
January 3, 1891, transmitted a copy of the
existing tariff law to Senior Suarez Guanes,
.he Spanish Minister and requested that the
attention of his Government be called to it,
with view TO the adjustment of CONNER.
,ial relations between the two countries on
| permanent basis of reciprocity, profitable |
like to both.
owing this letter, which refers to details of |
he treaty, the Spanish Minister, under spe-
,ial instructions from his Government,
submits to the consideration of the Secretary
# State the serious njuries which have been 4
to the tobacco production of the |
stands of Cuba and Pueto Rico in conse- |
luence of an increase of duties imposed on |
aid article by the new tariff law of the |
United States, and cherishes the hope that !

because the President of the Union has not |
he power to do SO, the latter will exercise |
lis constitutional powers in order to recon-
mend TO Congress reduction of duties on
he tobacco of said islands.
The correspondence closed with letter |
rom Secretary Blaine, under date of June

estion contained in the Minister'S note re- |
pecting tobacco will have the careful con-
of the President, and that it shall |
'e the subject of a separate note.
