The correspondence preceding the
promulgation of the treaty was begun
by Secretary Blaine, who, January 3
last, transmitted a copy of the tariff
law to Senor Guanes, the Spanish min
lister, requesting that the attention of
his government be called to it with
view to an adjustment of the CONNER
ciai relations between the two coun-
tries on a permanent basis of reciproc-
ity profitable alike to both. In the
course of further correspondence the
Spanish government submits to the
consideration of the United States gov-
ernment the serious injuries occasioned
to the tobacco production of Cuba and
Porto Rico in consequence of the in
crease of duties, and cherishes the
hope that the president will recon-
mend to congress a reduction of
the duty on the tobacco Of said
islands. The correspondence closed
with letter from Secretary Blaine,
under date Of June 10, last, in which
he states that the suggestion will have
the careful consideration of the presi-
dent and that 1t shall be the subject of
note.
