April 12, 1893, the Brazilian minister of foreign affairs agreed with Conger the duty on American flour should cease, and duties previously collected be refunded.

Levering & Co., of Bio de Janeiro, and others have claims for duties so exacted, and which Brazil has not satisfied.

You are instructed to call the attention of Brazilian Government, and report upon result.
