As REPORTED TO PARIS TEMPS.
Uaste0 states Declares That the War
Must Fad hy NOvember 4.

Paris, Sept. 2l.--A dispatch from san
SebaAtian to lie Temps, this city, saws
that in his interview yesterday with the
duke Of Tetuan, Spanish minister for for.
eign affairs, United States Minister
Woodford did mott present his claim for
indemnity. but confined his interview to
moderate phase in the statement of the
great injuries that commerce and indus.
try had suffered in the United States
through the prolongation Of the Cuban
war. General Woodforvi Is said to have
added that Secretary Sherman had de-
sired him to declare to the Spanish gov
eminent that it was evidently impossible
for Spain to quell the rebellion in rem.
sonAble time. and further, that il the war
was continued, Cuba would be deyastat
ID and OF no utility to Spain or the Gu.
hama In conclusion, the United States
minister b reported to have insisted cour.
teous'y but firmly upon the necessity Of
terminating the war, declaring that il it
were not terminated by the end of Octo.
Der, the United States would feel iusti
ned In taking measures TO secure the in
dependence OF Cuba.

Washington, Sept. 2O.--lt can be stat.
q In reference to the Paris publication
purporting to give the substance Of Cen.
erai Woodford's communication to the
duke Of Tetuan that there ha. been a
misapprehension on the part of the Temps
correspondent upon several points, not
ably in respect to an ultimatum and the
setting of y time limit for the conclu.
sion OF the war. Instead Of fixing the end
OF October next n the termination of
the war, that particular date was men.
toned rs the time when the Spanish
court would return to Madrid from San
Sebastian, and when, consequently, it
might be in order to return an answer to
the latest representations Of the United
States government through Mr.. Wood.
ford. IL is declared at the state depart.
ment that while Mr.. Woodford did, &C.
cording to the original idea Of his in
strnctions. set out the deep interest the
United States had in witnessing ces-
aation of the deplorable conflict in Cuba.
he did not deliver himself of an ultima
tum. but simply made statement Of our
deep interest in the settlement of the
Cuban war as a reasonable explanation
for intervening in any manner at this
time.

SCHOOL FUNDS.
Some Facts about the Finance of the
State

SOme acts ABOUT tne FINANCE OF the
State.
The first semi-annual apportion-
ment of school moneys for the year
1898 has been made by the State
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton. The amount apporhoned was
$68, SAG. There are according to
the last school census 8 ,096 children
between six and eighteen years of
age in the State. This gives to each
child for educational purposes a
fraction over SO for the first six
months of 1898 in addition to the
amount derived from the local school
tax in each of the several counties.
The State school money is derived
from the interest on paymente on
State lands. OF this money $500, 900
is invested in bonds of the Tinted
States, which net the State an inter-
est something less than three per
cent, per annum. About 1922, 900
more of the school fund is invested
in State bonds bearing interest at 4
per cent. per annum. Besides
these bonds there is an irredeemable
State bond for $3.50, ,000, which
bears interest at 5 per cent. per
annum, ID the school fund. This
bond was sold to the school fund,
for cash some years ago to cancel
the Territorial debt assumed by the
State when it was admitted into the
Union. A State Treasurer stole
$685. 900 during his term of Office,
AMI it is alleged. lost the money
gambling in stocks.
At the present time the greater
part of the revenue of the general
school fund is derived from direct
taxation of the property of the people
Though nominally the $78,000 just
apportioned for school purposes is
derived from the interest on school
money, in reality a large part of it is
derived from the taxes just paid into
the State Treasuary by the several
counties. For instance, the interest
on the $3.50, 900 irredeemable bond
amounts to $4,000 year, and the
interest on per cent. State bonds
in the school fund amounts to $11,.
900 more, and both these amounts
are paid from the revenue derived
from State taxes. This with the
per cent. State tax for school pur
poses, the interest Oh the United
States bonds and interest derived
from balances due on State lands
which last year amounted to $64, ,22'
SO makes up the general school funt
which is apportioned semi-annuall.
among the several counties of the
State in proportion to the number o
school children in each county,

Fried Cakes.

A simple rule for crullers, or fried
cakes, calls for pint of sweet milk,
two cupfuls of granulated sugar, a
quarter of cupful of butter, three
eggs, scant teaspoonful of salt and
three teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
Sift the baking powder and salt twice
with three cupfuls of flour and rub
the butter through the -four. Stir the
eggs after beating them well into the
milk. Add the sugar to the -four and
other ingredients and pour the milk
over them, beating the whole until an
even batter is formed. Add sifted -four
enough to make soft dough. Roll it
out about half an inch thick, cut it in
rings, twist and fry them in boiling
hot fat.-N. Y. Tribune.
