MAYFLowER AT KEY WEST.
She May BE Used as Capt. Snmpson's
Flagship.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 2O.-The United
States torpedo boat Mayfiower arrived here
late last night and ancnored near the flag
ship New York. 1t is possible that the
Mayfower may be Captain Sampson flag
ship. He may use her for this purpose if
he finds the expected blockade of Cuba
necessitates the making of continual ana
rapid rounds of the fleet as the Mayflower
is better suited for such work than the
f1rst-class cruiser New York. The rumors
of the New York going north and of the
Dolphin becoming the flagship are untrue.
Additional precautions have been put IL
force here to insure the safety of the big
ships since the resolutions of Congress were
adopted. All deck lights on board the New
York, Iowa and Indiana, which lie out Of
Key West harbor. are now extinguished
before p. M, when the battle ports are
screwed on and the formidable warships
can hardly be en- from each others decks,
except when an occasional searchlight
flashing around, reveals their dark outlines.
Besides this precaution, the night patrol
has been doubled. Last evening both the
Cincinnati and the Marblehead, accom-
panied by two torpedo boats, went out on
picket duty. Heretofore one cruiser with
her torpedo conSortS has been considered a
sufficient guard. But Captain Sampson
has no intention of taking any chances
With these increased precautions the strain
or suspense becomes greater and all hone
