SATISFACTION At KEY WEST.

Firbt-Accidentt TO Ericsson.

KEY WEST. FLA. April l9.-The news
of the passage of the joint resolution
through Congress created feeling OF
intense satisfaction here.
The effect Of the news from Washing
ton was soon noticed on board the ships
lying in the inner harbor. The officers
began sending their personal belongings
ashore. and the ships were stripped on
whatever superhuous articles remained.
All the work ia progress is being rushed
to a finish. but little or nothing remains
to be done. which would delay the fleet
for a moment.
The United States torpedo-boat Ericsson
met with an accident at o'clock
this morning. She was patrolling about
ten miles OF Sand Key in the Gulf, when
she colided with the station pilot-boat
Hero. Ensign L. y. Bostwick was struck
on the head and badly cut. lie was taken
10 the Marine Hospital
The injury to the Ericsson will not in
terfere with her usefulness, IN case OF
orders for active service being received.
NAVAL PLAN OF ACTION.
stood has finally and definitely been de-
cided upon. 1t involves the blockade OF
Cuba, but not q bombardment Of Ha-
bana. The blockade will involve no en-
gagements. IL is said. except the acci-
dental encounters which are more OF less
bound 20 occur.
This afternoon some 2OO Cubans. head
ed by a brass band. marched through the
streets and halted i'm front of the hotel
After a serenade of American national
airs. cheers were given for President
Mckinley and the newspapers OF the
United States. Several prominent Gu
bans made addresses in Spanish. the bur-
den OF these being gratitude TO America
and joy at the near prospect of freedom
for Cuba.
The procession then marched to the
cable office. where the following mes
sage was sent TO President Mckinley; "A

viii reach Madrid I'm the evening. the
difference I'm time between this country
ana spain being about six hours / think
You are safe in saying that Spain will be
gwen forty-eght hours-that is. until
Friday evoning-to submit her reply.
IN accordance with the terms Of the
resolution. the President will demand
that Spain shall evacuate the island. The
demand for this will be nat-footed and
absolute. and no tentative or halfway
reply Will satisfy the President: nor will
any compromise that contemplates the
Withdrawal Of SPANS troops from the
island. and the subsequent re-establish-
ment Of spanish control. or the raising
OF the Spanish flag over the country be
accepted by the administration.
POSSIBLE POSTPONEMENT
Possibly 1t may be that a suggestion
that the matter has been referred 10 the
Cortes, which meets tomorrow. for its
consideration may be instrumental IN
postponing for a brief time the putting
into effect OF the congressional resolu-
ton but the President is not disposed to
brook any further delay. II is only fair
that in great crisis like this reasonable
time shah be given
If spain refuses 10 evacuate Cuba.
prompt measures will be adopted 20 put
INTO force the congressional resolution.
4 blockade Of Cuba will. so far as is at
present understood. be begun at once.
There are am adequate number Of war
vessels in the vicinity to make this ef-
fective. / think such supplies as the
Spaniards now control will not last them
more than a month. Then steps will be
taken with view 20 increasing the
equipment Of Gomez's forces and fur
uishius II with sufficient hard-tack for
food as will enable him TO harass the
Spaniards from the rear which will ma
terially assist 600 bringing them To terms.
My own individual idea is that it will
probably take two months TO bring about
results which will compel the Spaniards
90 cvacuate and enable the island 10 be
occupied by the United States without
molcstation.
