The FLEET TO WAIT FOR The ARMY
A Change In Navm rrsa- ,v.,. 800
low Mobilization OF
Trnons.

Key West, Fla, April 19.-Mobilizing
troops in the southern coast towns has,
in the opinion of naval officers, COM
pletely changed the situation here. For
the last two weeks the fleets have been
i'm daily expectation of orders TO make
a demonstration against Havana, with
the prospect OF immediate lombard
ment. Cooperation of the land forces
was not contemplated i'm their plan OF
attack. The navy is prepared and anN-
ious TO take the initiative and bear the
brunt of the first savage blow.
1t is the general belief that the orig
inal plan will now be abandoned and
one ~embodying the cooperation of the
army will be devised. This means no
prospect of the fleets moving for at
least n week. Meanwhile there may be
a change in the disposition of the war
ships. This will give time TO transfer
the New York TO the flying squadron
and replace her with the Massachusetts,
which is regarded as a wise move.

TO CUT OFF SPAIN'S SUPPLY
The President Considers an Emo
barge on Cuba and Costa

Washington, April 19.-President
Mckinley is seriously considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of taking action which
will prevent vessels carrying supplies
to Cuba and Puerto Rico. Information,
which Las been officially received az
the state department, shows that Spain
is purchasing large quantities of pro-
visions and coal and is shipping them
in TO Havana and San Juan, Puerto
Rico, which will be blockaded by the
American squadron in the event OF
war.
There is considerable doubt as Ia
whether the president can, under the
law as il now stands, forbid the eNi
portation of supplies TO Cuba and
Puerto Rico. When war commences
of course, an embargo will follow, but
whether he can take up such action
in time of peace is a question which
the law officials of the government
will seriously study before taking nc
ton.
