War Preparations Go on the Same
As Previously Planned.
TEXAS LEAVES NEW YORK.
Active Preparation for War Continue Not-
withstanding the Stay of Proceedings
at Washingéouesmaiers at the Front
xnxious for Hostililies to Begin.
Key West, Fla, April T.—-'_1‘he news
that the Presdent's message had again
been delayed in its transmission to
Congress bind a. dampening effect upon
. the soldiers and sailors stationed here.
These was intense excitement l‘Trc
. over the prospect of bombarding ha.-
vana. .
’I‘Ihesli'ips were ready to fight at an
hour's notice. All officers and men
are being kept on board as much as
possible.
has received the following bulletin from
Secretary Long:
“'Dhere may not be a Farragut
among you, but let «his valor and dev‘o—
t-lon inspire you all."
This was rend to all hands'and there
was great excitement and enthusiasm
over it. -
Fighting Bags for the lawn.
The tug Leyden took 400 bags 'of sand
to the Iowa to‘ be used in action for
protection around guns and wl-ndlasses
1 é'gd WE: the decks.
Capt. Duvnil, aide to the Secretary
of War, who arrived on tire Mascotte,
left at .midnight for Dry Tortugas to
J, make an inspection.
Army officers here are highly pleased
over the arnival on the Olivette of 750
colored soldiers of the Twenty-fifth
Regiment. They say that negroes are
the best kind of fighters, and that they
would rather have them than white
men. This is directly opposite to the
views of Key West residents, who turn
up their nosesat the negro troops.
The Mascottee last night from Ha-
vana brought 300 passengers, the larg-
cst number she has ever carried to this
port. All are Americans leaving the
Cuban capital. -'
rexAs GOES TO SEA.
cltement and Much Cheering.
New York, April 7.—The battle ship
Tex-as put to sea yesterday. She is ex-
pected to reach Hampton Roads this
afternoon. ' Her pilot is Philip Guin-
ness and her commander Captain John
Phillip. She carries 427 men and 38 of-
ficers. She went down the harbor un-
der herown steam stripped for action.
The unusual sight of a. battle ship in
her fighting paint, devoid of all the gilt
and gewgaw‘s with Which a. battle ship
in time of peace is commonly sur-
rounded, steaming dow-n the East River
caused the utmost excitement among;
those who saw her pass. As the 'l'exa s,
after having been towed from her dock
to midstream, rounded bow on to the
harbor, the two six-pounders mounted
on the Cob Dock fired twelve guns. The
Texas answered with twelve guns from
the rapid-fire guns on her port side and
then proceeded down the river.
The workmen and sailors and marines
and soldiers in the Navy Yard when,
the Texas fired her last gun all rushed
to the water front and screamed and
cheered and.cheered again. On the
Texas the sailors were gathered on the
forward deck. They also cheered
themselves hoarse, And then the Texas
steamed slowly down the river. Her's
was in a. manner a. triumphal progress.
Every steam vessel in her path saluted
her with whistles, every sailing vessel
dipped her colors.‘ The great ship ac-
knowledged every salute by every boat,
no matter how small, and the sailor at'
the signal halyards waskept constant-
ly busy dipping the flag.
Along the dockson either side of the
river the Workmen'leflt their work to
rush to the pier front and cheer,.the
outgoing 'battlle ship. .Never a. vessel
steamed out Of/NGW York harbor with
more public manifestation of good will.
Those who cheeredgseemed to [feel that
when they were cheering. theTfizxas
they were cheering 'a. serious instru-
ment of war, and not a. pretty wmto
and gold plaything. Few, if any, of
those who saw the Texas sail ever saw
a. battle ship in fighting paint before,
and the sight did not fail to make all
impression.
THE CINCINNATI’S MlSHAP.
The Cruiser Aground at Key West,bnt
“'as l-‘mated Uninjured.
Key “rest, Fla..‘prril 7.—The Cincin-
nati went aground on entering the bar-
bor yesterday.
She grounded at 6.15 o'clock while she
was cofning‘from sea to the Naval De-
pot wharf'f‘orcoal.'_ She picked up the
middle ground about 100 yards from
' that wharf." 'T‘hiis' s'andlump has about
eighteen" feet of water over it.
The tug Leyden immediately ran a.
hawser to the Cincinnati's stern, while
the latter worked her twin screw-s. Al-
though the tide was then rising, the ef-
l‘ort failed to ‘m-ake'an impression.
captain Chster attributes the mishap
to a misplaced buoy. A Court of in-
quiry will follow,‘ as negligence is
somewhere indicated.
The Leyden was reinforced by the
tugs Merritt and Triton, and after two
h'ours’ work the cruiser was iioated. A
Board of Survey. with the Cincinnati's
divers, examined her keel :1: once and
‘found no damage. The ship was draw-
ing twenty feet and sirUCK in eighteen
feet of water.

II 895000 000 mflmate.
Almaty, N. Y., Apr-ii 7.—At the exam-

“Did you ever enter-
{one for $9.0 Moo, that is, by leaving
' «She walls asthey were. On. that idea.
the estimates were cumtamd, and it was
i with that Ian-ought that the contracts
3 were let._ LW Machined of that opin—
ion as soon as the actual work was
, enmmenced by contractors. Exoafiaj
{ions showed that the material at the
foot of the walls was of such a light na-
ture that. it would not support the
‘ bank. In file winter of 1897 I per-
' delved that the walls of the canal were
in such bad shape that “the frost on the
, bunks was going to prove disastrous to
i mean. I wal them convinced that the
l canals could not be improved for 39,-.
l 300.900." . ~ -
Mt. Blackmnn read from Mr. Adams‘
report of.1896 on the canal improve-
ment as follows: "
“Right here it seems but proper to
say that while it is believed that this
5 sum, $0,000,000, can be made to suffice
' for the work of simply deepening the
3 canals to the required depth, it does not
; follow and it is not true that it will
. cover all the work now required to put
9 the canals in the best picssible shape."
Mr. Adams says that was written by
l him in December, 1896, and was intend-
, ed to convey Ihhe opinion that the dig-
ging out of the canals could be accom-
= plisiled, but that the physical condition
I of so many'of. the structures were suck
2 that in order to put the canal in repair
more ‘llhlall $9,000,000 was necessal‘Y-"
