MADRID. Sept. 2s.-The misuse o: the word
"ultimatum" in connection with tho recent
representations made by Gen. Woodford. the
United States Minister, to the Duke OF Tetuan.
Minister Of Foreign Affairs, is now explained.
An ultimatum must always be written, and its
purport must also invariably be communicated
in writing to the representatives OF the other
powers accredited to the Government to which
the ultimatum is presented.
Gen. Woodtord, in accordance with the lip
lomatic usage requiring all important COM
munications between foreign representatives
and the Governments to which they are acCred-
tied to be confirmed by letter. addressed a COM
munication TO the Duke OF Tetuan. reitcrating
the terms of his previous conversation with tho
foreign Minister and expressing the friendly in
~tcntions Of the United States. while indicating
the desire OF the Washington Government that
spain should bring the Cuban troubles 10 q
definite conclusion in the course of the month
OF October.
1t was the fact that the terms of Gen Wood
ford's conversation with the Duke OF Tetuan
were aftcrward formally communicated In writ

that an ultimatum had been presented.
