PARIS, Feb 23.-Agents in this city of
the Filipinos received word from Iloio say
ing that the outbreak of fire there was not
the work of the natives, but was started
by the American shells. When the attack
commenced, the Filipinos add, the foreign
residents were endeavoring to persuade
General Lopez, the Filipinos commander,
to submit, as Iloilo was not fortified and
was therefore not in a position to resist
the American attack. The whole CONNER
ciaI quarter of Iloilo, it appears. was de-
stroyed with four-fifths of the rest Of the
town. Finally, the Filipinos say, the for
eign residents subsequently met, protested
against the bombardment and resolved to
put in claims for damages.

A Succession.


Now that theswagon road has about
been completed up the Hot Springs
canon. THE OPTio would like to offer
suggestion to Messrs. Romero, Har-
yey, johnson, Sandoval, Minium and
others interested, that before stopping
the good work thus commenced that
provision be made at every crossing Of
the river where there isn't bridge
for foot passengers. This would enable
bicyclists to go to the Hot Springs on
the train and from there it would only
be two or three hours ride on bicycle
TO Ell Povenir or Harvey's carriage
house. Then, TOO. the foot bridges
would serve good purpose for thepeo-
pie who live along the river.
A good sized pine tree hewed on ore
side. thrown across the river and
anchored securely at one end by achain
fastened to large tree or rock, or even
a heavy stake driven into the ground,
in order to prevent it being washed
away at Hood time, would answer the
purpose admirably. Thenecessary chain
could possibly be purchased for So or
80. aud two men and team of horses
could do the work in two days. so that
the total expense would not exceed $50.
There are no doubt number OF BIZ
cyclists in the city who are willing to
give 81 or so cents apiece If necessary
to make the Improvement. and charge
of 10 cents at the toll gate would prob
ably meet the expense in one or two
seasons and the business along the val
ley increased perhaps 5000 to $500 more
yearly. NJ

Concerning School Finances.

Concerning Sch0ol FINANCES.
The Santa Fe New Mexican: The
board of education of Santa Fe has :
ceived written opinion from the legal
adviser of the city, that no debts con-
tracted in former year, which werein
excess of the receipts of that year for
school purposes, can be legally paid
from funds levied and collected for the
present year, and that parties who
credited the board of education upon
promises to pay from the funds of the
present year, were relying upon the
exercise of power expressly forbidden
and the only money from which they
can be paid is delinquent taxes as they
come in for thelyear in which the liza
bilities were incurred. Thus the public
has fair warning in addition to the
existence of the law, that city boards of
education are limited In their power to
incur liabilities in any year in excess of
the income of that particular year.
