RECIPROC Statements Concerning Its trom Ommeials, Rio pe Jaxeiro, Aoril 206,—Dr. Ruy Bar- bosa, mivister of finance of the provisional government, has published a long statement in regard to tho reciprocity agreement with the United States, Ho says that the provi- sional government never authorized this agreement in the terms in which it was made, and asserts that Dr. Salvador de Men- donca, Braziliian minister at Washmgton, reccived positive {nstructions to make no treaty that did pot expressly bind the United States government to refrain from making a similar agroemont with an luro- pean monarchy. He quotes a letter from Dr. Salvador de Mendonea, dated April 2. 1500, assuring tho government that tke United States would not make a treaty of the sawme kind with Spain, On the Oth of May the mivister at Wash- ington Wroto to the samo effect and again on September 4. On Septemver 17 he wrote to Dr. Ruy Barbosa as follows: “If the United States does not make similar treaties as it will not, with Spain and Eungland, no other country can compete with us here in tho sugar market. Cuba, Porto Rico and Trinidaa are at present our ouly competi- tors.” On the 20th of October Dr. Ruy Barbosa telegraphed Dr. Salvador de Mendonca: *You can continue negotiations on tho terms mentioned in your letter only now re- ceived " fterwards,” says Dr. Ruy Barbosa, envoy camo to this capital and bad in- terviews, both with me aud with the prov sional government at i's cabinet meeting and it was positively dstormined that in this cssential point tho ngreement should not un- dergo tho slightest alteration, and that the negotiations iu all stages should bo carefully made to adhere thereto.” The cabinet to which Dr, Ruy Barbosa bo- lonzed resigned on January 20, 1801, and on Fobruary 5 the new cabinet promulgated tho reciprocity agreement, which did not contain the stipulation that bad been considercd ab- solutelv essential, Dr. Ruy Barbosa maintains that because of these circumstances the agreement losks legal validity, and that the Brazilian govern- ment has ample grounds for reviving the question. It is said the minister of forcign affairs will open negotintions for a revision of the treaty. ral Foster, April 26, WASHINGTON D, O, Foster of the State department, who assisted ~General in the reciprocity negotitions with the Brazilian government, satd today that there wero several evrors in the mossage from Rio Janeiro concerning the reciprocity agroe- ment, the principal one being that this gov- ernment had pledged itself not to make a similar agreement with any European goy- ‘Senor Menos,” said he, “has frequently denied the correctness of the statement him self. This government (the United States) was never.asked by Brazil to make such a promise and, of course, never made 1t. More- over, it could not have legaily made such a promise, for such action would have boen in ect coufiict with the raciprocity provision of the tariff act.” A copy of General Foster's statoment was subsequaently sent in to Sccrctary Blaine at bis home and he returned it with the simplo remark that it was correct. When tho dispatch was shown to Mendonca, the Brazilian minister, ho s bad already denied similar statements ema. nating from ex-mmister Barbosa. Thers was uothing in the correspondenco botween tho Lwo guvernments to s in the statement that tne United States had promised not to makoa similar ogroement with any Buro- pean government, Senor Mendonca said these reports wero being circuluted by the enemics of the present government sololy for volitical purposes. He added that he did not care to make auy further statement on tho subject as he was perfectly content to let the corresponeenco which bad been publishea speak for itself. 10 % ool Dr. Cullimore, oculist, Bes building Sl The Beo es Everyw here.
