TWO NEW PRIZES 0E WAR

Key West Fla, May 1880 a: M
The Spanish fishing schooner Fernan-
dino and the Norwegian steamer Brats-
berg were the only new vessels in the
harbor this morning.
The Spanish boat was captured by the
gunboat vicksburg yesterday morning
while trying to make Havana on her
way from Yucatan. She has crew OF
six men.
The Bratsberg Is a cattle steamer and
left here a few days ago. She was act
ing suspiciously and was apparently at
tempting to run the blockade into Ha-
vana, when she was stopped and turned
back. The Mangrove conveyed her TO
this port in company with the Fernan-
dino, which had a prize crew aboard,
arriving here early this morning.
The Mangrove reported that all was
quiet about Havana when she left that
harbOr.
The Cuban blockade causes only cur
sorry interest here now. Everybody is
waiting for news from Rear Admiral
Sampson.
