New York, April IA dispatch
from Key West says:
Since a synopsis Of the presidents
message was received here there has
been more inquiry about the means Of
transporting troops TO tho seaboard
and thence 10 Cuban ports than regard
ing naval movements. The message Is
interpreted to mean a military occupa-
tion az an early date. with n feet open
ing the way by a blockade Of Havana
or by elienoing its defenses. The block
ade. n one Is attempted, Is not expected
20 be Of long duration. and the under

SO the ships await the action OF con-

20 come OF this week Onlcers Of the

In a few days.
II Is not anticipated that Blanco's
armlstlce proclamation will have any
effect on the situation In the island. Il
will enable the insurgents 10 occupy a
larger area Of territory and viii be
used as an excuse for withdrawing
troops from the country and bringing
them into Havana. On Saturday last
the troops In the immediate nelghblr-
hood numbered between 5000 and iO.-
600. by the end OF thla week their
forces will he doubled. They will be re-
inforced by 5000 volunteers The
point Of this IL that when tho navy has
once made breach considerable
force of regular American troops will
be needed to follow up the advantage
and occupy Havana. which may be de-
Tended stubbornly.
The Spanish authorities when forced

gents may be disappointed n their In
dependence Ia not recognized. this will
not affect their activity In harasslng
the Spanish forces. particularly II they
can secure arms and ammunition. They
have been preparing for armed inter-
ventIon by the United States
II is probable that the public feeling
will be further intensified when Consul
General Ice and Consul Barker reach

very accurate report OF the conditions
In Cuba. In the opinion OF both ON
