KEY WEST, Fla, April .2.--The first
act of war was the capture, at ! O'Clock
this morning, o. the Spanish merch ant
man steamer, Buena Ventura, by the
American gunboat Nashville, seventeen
miles southwest OF Key West.
A prize crew was put on board and the
two vessels reached Key West at 1890

were greatly excited when the news Of
the capture was received and paraded the
streets cheering for America.
The squadron had been steaming along
slowly when the Spanish vessel was
sighted The Nashville was detailed to
overhaul her, and started at full speed.
When still some distance from her Il
shot was fired by the Nashville, to
which the Spaniards paid no attention.
A few minutes later second gun was
fired, the shot passing so close to the
merchantmen that he became frightened,
reversed his engines and lowered his
flag.
A whaIeboat was lowered and with the

A bombardment of Havana is not yet
expected.
1t was fully realized that u conflict
might occur at any time after the Key
West squadron reached the Cuban
waters, but the design was not to hasten
actual hostllities.
One Of the Cabinet said today that he
thought it would be some time-indicat
ing several days-before anything very
excitin, would be heard from the squad

The idea was that the squadron would
maintain "silent" blockade unless
filel onby the land forces until thi
Government is prepared to land troops
in Cuba or until Spanish vessels appear.
The squadron will capture any vessels
that can be got at that attempt to enter
a Cuban port. These captures may at any
time lead to collision, but as long as
Spanish war vessels keep out Of the way
the guns Of our squadron are expected to
be silent.

American Warships In Danger.

Special to The SUN.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Apprehension
prevails in naval circles that the move
ment of the Spanish fleet from the Cape
Verd Islands may be directed against the
battleship Oregon and the gunboat
Marietta, now rounding Cape Horn, On
their way to Montevideo for coal and
orders.
At that port the American vessels will
bc $500 miles from Hampton Roads and
$500 miles from the Cape Verd Islands.
The American ships, before they reach
Monteyide,, will be unaware of the
declaration of hOstilities and could easily
be surprised.
The five heavy vessels of the Spanish
fleet could make short work of the two
American ships, as they were separated,
and not within two days sail of each
other at last accounts.
The Oregon and Marietta last touched
at Callao, Peru, some days ago, and
could be easily found by the Spaniards,
who would only have to await their
arrival off the port OF Montevideo, into
which they are expected to run for coal
and news.
The spaniards have other ships in the
dock yards at Ferroll and Cadiz, and it
is possible that some of these may be
sent to make dash at our coast, if the
fleet at the Cape Verd Islands sets out to
intercept the Oregon and Marietta.
The Government ut Madrid believes
that il they can strike us u serious blow

Europe, and will gain them material as

threatened batteship and gunboat, it is
unlikely that they would arrive before
