TALKED TO TETUAN.
What Our Minister Said to the
Spanish Dignitary.
ONE REPORT CALLS IT AN ULTIMATUM
From Washington Is Wired the News That
the American General Did Not Attempt
to Dictate to Spain, but Merely
Explained Our Position.

PARIS. Sept PA dispatch from San
Sebastian to lie Temps says that in
the interview with the Duke of Tetuan.
the Spanish minister for foreign af-
fairs. the United States minister to
Spain, General Stewart /. Woodford,
did not present any claim whatever for
indemnity. but confined himself to a
moderately phrased statement of the
great injuries commerce and industry
have suffered in the United States
through the prolongation of the Cuban
war.
General Woodford is said to have
added that Secretary Sherman had de-
sired him to declare to the Spanish
government that il was evidently inn
possible for Spain to end the rebellion
In a reasonable time. and. further, that
If the war was continued Cuba would
be devastated and Of no utility to Spain
or to the Cubans.
In conclusion the United States min
lister is reported to have insisted cour-
teously but firmly upon the necessity
to terminate the war, declaring that il
1t was not terminated by the end Of
October the United States would feel
justified in taking measures to secure
the independence of Cuba.
The Duke of Tetuan. still according
TO the dispatch to lie Temps. while pro-
testing against alleged American pre-
tensions" said he would reply officially
10 the United States minister when the
Spanish court returns to Madrid.
Evening journal., 1897-09-21
Not an UItimatum Exactly.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.-It can be
stated in reference to the Paris publica-
ticn purporting to give the substance
Of General Woodford's communication
to the Duke of Tetuan that there has
been Misrepresentation on several inn
portant points. notably in respect to an
ultimatum and the setting of a time
limit for the conclusion of the war
Instead of fixing the end of October
next as the date for the termination Of
the war; that particular date was men
toned as the time when the Spanish
court would return to Madrid from San
Sebastian and when, consequently, 1t
might be in order TO return an answer
to the latest representations of the
United States government through Mr..
Woodford. 1t is declared at the state
department that while Mr.. Woodford
did, according to the original idea Of
his instructions, set out the deep inter-
est the United States had in Witness
ing a cessation Of the deplorable con-
fiict in Cuba he did not deliver him
self of an ultimatum, but simply made
a statement of our deep interest in a
settlement Of the Cuban war as a rea-
sonable explanation for Intervention in
any manner at this time.
Mr.. Woodford's telegram regarding
his conference with the Duke of Tetuan
is now before President Mckinley.

dertalking. The Belgiac is provisioned
for two years. Every man Of the 25
aboard her is experienced and ready
to face any new dangers for the sake
of their enthusiastic commander.
AS far as known DR.. Cook will be the
only American in the party, and his du-

theories VIII be followed to some ex-
tent. as a balloon. which is now on the
Belgiac, will be utilized. If possible. for

ditions TO the south pole was that OF
