KEY WEST, Fla, April IL. 1S98-Great

made by the Government officials to land
troops in Cuba, should such a step be-
with the fleet, when questioned on the
subject today, said he was not aware of
any. such arrangements having been
made. but he presumed the necessary
steps in that direction had been taken.
He added that the fleet itself could not
transport a sufficient number of men to
make an efficient landing party. There

force of troops in Cuba, falling which the
first few shots fired are likely to be the
signal for rioting in the city of Havana
and elsewhere, notably in the provinces
of Matanzas and Pinar del Rio, in which
case many innocent lives will be sacri-

consequences to life and property. Many

Dispatches received this morning from
the Sand Key fleet show that great
quietude prevails on board the warships,

Their Meadow Property.

The Consolidated Traction Company use
a great quantity of water at their power

important item in their yearly expendi-
lures. They are considering the advisa-
bility of boring an artesian well on the
meadows, between Montgomery and
Grand streets, in close proximity to their
power house, which they believe will
supply them with all the water the COM
pany requires for feeding boilers and
washing cars The we'll when finished
will be 1900 feet: that means one of the
deepest in the country.
Messrs. Colgate & Co., the soap and
perfume manufacturers of York street,
have an artesian well on their property
1,500 feet, but they have not used it much.
They too, are thinking of going five
hundred feet down, where they will get an
ample supply of water. With these two

A suit brought by Contractor Michael
T. Connolly. to recover $500 from the
city for extra work which he claims to
have performed on several contracts, was
brought up for trial, in the Supreme
Court, yesterday afternoon. The suit is
of friendly character. Connolly put in
his claims for the extra work and the
Board of Street and Water Commission
ers refused to pay them. Connolly claims
to have done extra work on ST. Paul s
avenue in the laying of a water inain
and work on the Hatch avenue and Mer-
GER street sewers The extra work was
done under an order from the chairman
of the committee instead of by resolu-
ton of the Board. The specifications for
the Hatch avenue sewer called for about
ten yards of masonry when 4S0 yards
were really needed Contractor Byrnes,
who had laid water pipes in the street,
had care1essly filled in the sewer trench
which should have been left open. Law

Connolly and Corporation Attorney Doug
