A COLLISION.
Torpedo Boat and Pilot Boat Come
Together With Severe Results

Key West, Fla, April 19.-The
United States torpedo boat Ericsson
met with an accident at o'clock this
morning She was patrolling about
ten miles off Sand Key, in the Gulf,
when she collided with the station pilot
boat Hero. The latter had no lights
displayed and the torpedo boat which
was going at rapid rate, came upon
her without warning. The bowsprit
of the pilot boat swept the Ericsson
amidships and knocked over the ven-
tilators and upper work of the torpedo
boat. Ensign l.. A. Postwick was
struck on the head and badly cut He
was taken to the Marine hospital.
The bowsprit of the Hero was car
ried away and she sustained damage
on her port side. The injury to the
Ericsson will not interfere with her
usefulness in case of orders for active
service being received. Her COM
mander says she is ready to sail at any
moment.

TIE SITUATION IN CUBA.
The Better Class OF Spaniards Are Begin
ming to Favor Annexation
CORRESPONDENCE Of Associated Press.

Correspondence of Associated Press.
havana. April 19.-ln the midst Of a
complicated political situation one fact
stands out clearly. and that is that the
better class Of people. particularly
among the Spanish residents here,
grow daily more and more in favor of
annexation OF Cuba to the United
States as being the only safe situation
OF the crisis and as the only plan
which will guarantee the safety Of
their persons and the integrity Of their
interests.
So far as autonomy is concerned the
officials of the colonial government
have already committed so many mis-
takes that should autonomy last a
year longer. the people would be Sc
thoroughly convinced OF it's impotency
that they would rebel against it
The work Of terrifying the coasts Of
Cuba, from a Spanish standpoint, is
progressing rapidly and effectively.
The planting Of torpedoes has been
progressing with cetrain amount of
activity, considering the resources at
the disposal of the Spanish engineers
and military authorities generally.
The insurgents maintain the stand
which they have all along Nickname
ly, that they will not accept anything
short of independence.
The Spanish officers and patriots of
Spain pretend to have received the
news OF the armistice with feelings of
perfect disgust, but they appear to be
generally awakening TO the fact that
matters are reaching a point which in
dicates that their stay in Cuba is likely
TO be Of very short duration. At the
clubs the officers are already talking
about getting ready TO leave, and are
discussing their future prospects in
Spain, where their pay is considerably
less than it is here, and are rejecting
upon the fact that promotion sill be
very slow when the war in Cuba is
over
In the provinces feeling Of alarm
prevails among the better classes, and
families which can afford to do SO are
chartering vessels to get away.

The fight between the new city adj
ministration and the old one is still on
and there is no telling when it will
stop. The arrest of ex-Mayor Gardner
and ex-Chief Of Police King has caused
a great deal of comment and the new
officials are coming in for a great deal
Of censure for the high-handed way in
which the matter has been conducted.
The fight which will be aired in the
Circuit Court will be very bitter one,
and the indications now are that some
one will get terrible turning over.
