EXCITEMENT AT KEY WEST.
A Report That the Hour of Interven-
 tion Had Come.

Key West, March 6-Excitement was caused here by an Associated Press bulletin to the effect that the United States government has notified Spain that hostilities in Cuba must cease. The work of painting the war ships black was carried on this after noon with redoubled energy. Rear Admiral Sicard was on the point Of leaving Key West and knew nothing of the action taken by the United States.
 A torpedo boat Was at once dis patched to Captain Sampson on board the New York. The Indiana, Iowa, Detroit, Nashville and Montgomery are being painted black. All the off cers here regard war as being immi- nent, and intense enthusiasm is ex- hibited from the youngest jackie to the oldest commander, over the pros poets.

ONLY A SHAM PEACE.
The Quicker It Is Broken the Better
 for the United States.

Washington, March 26.--The situa- tion today was practically unchanged, except that the conviction of a cer- tainty of war is more settled in spite Of pacific utterances that have been said to proceed from the White House. There were no developments of any kind. There is a clearer realiza- tion of the danger to be apprehended from the close proximity of the Span iSh torpedo f1otilla at Porto Rico, but high naval officer predicted that the fleet would not reach the West Indies. "The government" he said, "has more than a week within which to act, and within less than week the crisis will come and go and we will be relieved of perplexities that now confront us" He was understood to mean that a declaration of war would be made within a week and in that event the United States would still have time to intercept the f1otilla.
 On this point MT. Hilborne of Cali fornia, member of the naval affairs committee, said today after visit to the navy department: 'It is not for us to interfere in any way with the movement of the Spanish torpedo f1o- tilla or any other Spanish vessels. The high seas are open highways for ships Of any nation and while there Is no declaration of war we are not in po- sition to say the boats shall not move as Spain sees fit.'
 Other members of the committee 1 agreed with him and added it was this state of the case that made the earliest possible declaration necessary unless the United States wanted to find itself involved in certain war at a disadvantage
 AN INITIATION TO SPAIN.
 Washington, March 26.-It can be stated on positive information that 1 this government will, if indeed it has not already done so, notify Spain that the conditions now existing in Cuba l have become intolerable to the people 1 of this country and hostilities on the | direct line with the views of the presi- i dent as expressed in his last message I to congress on December 6.
 WORRY AT MADRID.
 Madrid, March 26.-The organ of tht premier, Senor Sagasta, publishes { paragraph which is attracting mucl attention. It says: ''The alarmis
 impression continued late yesterda! evening, affecting even the officia centers. Ministers saw nothing to re
 lieve the situation of things. Thus a
 Il p. m. when a person in the conf
 dence of the queen visited Senor Sa
 gasta and had a long interview witt him, great importance was attache,
 thereto"

 SENTIMENT, BUT NO CASH.
 Washington, March 26.-During the debate on the naval appropriation bill today in the house every utterance in favor of aggressive action against Spain was applauded to the echo by the crowded galleries. A strong effort was made to increase the appropria- tion for the naval reserve, but it failed. Another effort to have the gov ernment uniform the naval militia also failed. No action was taken.

Is Causing the Navy Depart
 ment Much Anxiety.
The Sooner War is Declared the Greater the Advantage of this Country-Spain h. Restored in Cuba-DecOra- ting the War Ships.

Washington, March 26.-President Mckinley talked freely with his con gressional visitors today both in re- gard to his plans, present and future, and his appreciation of the situation with reference to Cuba. His pro- gramme as thus outlined is as follows: To send the report of the Maine court of inquiry to congress on Monday without recommendation and without explanation on his part further than to say that he has acquainted Spain with the findings of the court; to fol- low this, on Tuesday or Wednesday, with a message dealing with the con- dition of the non-combatants in Cuba and asking for an appropriation of $500,000 for their immediate relief; to present anew this condition to Spain, asking that country to make provision for the care of her own helpless peo- pie and to come to some terms with the Cubans which will be satisfactory to them and put an end to the war; this failing, to forcibly intervene on humanitarian grounds.
 The president indicated to his call CTS an abiding faith that peace may be preserved and a determination on his part to accomplish that end if it may be done with honor to our own coun- try and without disregarding the de- mands of humanity. He frankly and repeatedly avowed today his desire to prevent a conflict, while at the same time indicating his firm purpose to secure relief for the starving recon centrados. Indeed, the latter pur- pose appeared to be the topic upper mosti n the presidents mind. He dwelt upon the fact that a recognition of belligerent rights or of independence to these unfortunates.
 He admitted that such action might be of assistance to the men at arms the insurgent army, but they, he said have shown capacity to take care Of themselves and do not stand 1T pressing need of our kind offices. The president believes that Spain will in terpose no obstacles tC our sendins succor to her indigent people and ht will ask congress to act promptly tha the aid to be given may not arrive too late to relieve their pressing necessf ties. This done, the president is hope ful that congress will remain quie while the executive branch of the gov. ernment continues it's efforts to securt a peaceful settlement of the difficulty He thinks it is not too late to do this and he made the assertion today tha Spain was willing to meet the United States half way in adjusting the en tanglement without coming to blows.
 He did not enter into details regard ing the propositions he may make. O may have made to Spain, for undoubt edly some are pending, but he left tn impression that he would be satisfie with no settlement that would not giv the Cubans a very liberal form of gov ernment. He admitted frankly tha autonomy had proved a failure, an expressed an opinion that it would b as difficult to satisfy Americans wit any settlement that might be mad

The election for city officers yCster-
day was a tame affair, little interest
being taken. and only a little over one
third Of the voters being out at the
polls. Two causes contributed to this
result-the new registration law and
a thorough disgust Of decent Republi-
cans for the ring rule that was the
cause OF the hot roast administered by
Judge Burford recently on the con-
duet OF municlpal methods.
The opposition to Republicanism,
knowing how hopeless the attempt TO
elect representative men in a city so
strongly Republican, also remained al
home, but the result was an agreeable
surprise TO them, as they landed four
