NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2O-The Times
Democrats Key West special says:
II the Spanish authorities had taken
Senor Angel Fernandez off the Ward limo
steamer Nigilancia while that vessel was
in the Havana harbor last Friday, United
States warships would have Immediately
been ordered to Havana to enforce de-
mand for reparation, and war between this
country and Spain would have undoubtod-
ly resulted For three hours last Friday
the United States and Spain were on the
brink of war, and the threatening situa-
tion was only relieved when the Spanish
authorities ignominiously backed down
and allowed the Vigilancia to proceed to
sea with Fernandez still on board. A let
ter received here from a correspondent in
Havana, who Is CLOSE to Consul General
Lee, gives a dramatic account of the OPT
sode. According TO the letter, when the
Vigilancia put into Havana, the Spanish
authorities demanded the. surrender Of
Senior Angel Fernandez. a Mexican, on
board tho vessel. The Spaniards alleged
that Fernandez was not a Mexican, but a
subject of Spain. Captain John Mcintosh
of the Vigilanoia refused to surrender
Fernandez. Then the Spanish authorities
told Mcintosh that If the Vigilancia at
tempted to go 30 sea with Fernandez on
board she would be sunk by the guns Of
Morro castle.
Captain Mcintosh Immediately laid the
matter before Consul General Lee, who
complimented the captain on his bravery
and told him to take the Vigilancia to sea
