Disappointing on NOn-ActfOu on the
Cuban Joint Resolution.
The disappointment was keen when the
extra session of the Presidents cabinet
adjourned yesterday afternoon al $50
o'clock without having agreed upon the
ultimatum to Spain and without the Pres
ident having signed the joint resolution
accepted by Congress. This disappoint-
ment soon disappeared, however, when cab
iLet officials announced in the most positive
fashion that the President had no inten-
ticn Of delaying matters. but that it was
impossible to get the ultimatum ready to
dispatch to Spain before this morning. The
President. it was stated. desired to sign
the ultimatum and the resolution at the
same time.
When the cabinet met at $3.50 o'clock in
the afternoon consideration of the ulti-
matum was at once begun. Judge Day
took the text of the ultimatum to the
White House from the State Department
and it was this which the cabinet talked
about. While the ultimatum was the
gravest question before the cabinet other
matters were not lost sight of. Members
of the strategic board of the Navy Depart
ment were sent for and conferred with as

The authoritative statement is made at

such IA course is in keeping with sound dis

for the organized militia have gone to
great expense and have devoted much time

MAYFLowER AT KEY WEST.

Flagship.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 2O.-The United
States torpedo boat Mayfiower arrived here
late last night and anchored near the flag
ship New York. 1t is possible that the
Mayfower may be Captain SIMPSONS flag
ship. He may use her for this purpose if
he finds the expected blockade of Cuba
necessitates the making of continual and
rapid rounds of the fleet, as the Maynower
Is better suited for such work than the
first-class cruiser New York. The rumors
of the New York going north and of the
Dolphin becoming the flagship are untrue
Additional precautions have been put In
force here to insure the safety Of the big
ships since the resolutions of Congress were
adopted. All deck lights on board the New
York, Iowa and Indiana, which lie out of
Key West harbor. are now extinguished
before p. M, when the battle ports are
screwed on and the formidable warships
can hardly be sc en- from each others decks
except when an occasional searchlight
flashing around, reveals their dark outlines
Besides this precaution, the night patrol
has been doubled. Last evening both the
Cincinnati and the Marblehead, accom-
panied by two torpedo boats, went out on
picket duty. Heretofore one cruiser with
her torpedo consorts has been considered a
sufficient guard. But Captain Sampson
has no intention Of taking any chances.
With these increased precautions the strain
Of suspense becomes greater, and all hope
for speedy and definite action.

The report said that the ultinatum
reclted the act of Congress in sub

Diplomatic precedent would require
that the government should not
make public an ultimatum to a for
