On t':e contrary, tbe result of tbe Inquiries tenas to prove If any such action has been, or will be taken with regard to Brazil and Spain, it will be due to special and local causes. Complaints are said to baye been received from persons doing busi ness wltb Cuba and Porto Rice that tbe local officials of those islands do not observe tbe requirements of the recip rocal prohibitive duty upon articles en titled to admission free of duty under the terms-ot convention.
