The Prize Will Go to the Nashville and Footo Crew The Conflict lletuecn the United States und Spain Opened In llrncst. Key West, April 22.

The Spanish merchantman Buenaventura was captured shortly after 7 o'clock Friday morning by the United Status cruiser Nashville. Tho fleet nt that time was only a short distance from the shore. Smoke had appeared on the horizon, away to westward, and "by 0 o'clock It was plain that this came from a merchantman. By 7 o'clock she was seen to be a two-masted, black-hulled shlg, with white upper works and black smokestacks, having the colors of the Spanish flag painted around it. A Spanish flag was flying to the breez3 above the taffrail.

The squadron had been steaming dead slow, say six knots, but at 7 o'clock the Nashville suddenly loft the line, and at full speed headed toward tho Spaniard. A moment later a gun was fired from the port battery of tho Nashville and the shot struck tho water a few hundred yards away. The Spaniard was half a mile from the THE FLAG OF Three bars are red, two bars are white. The triangular Held Is blue and the stars white. The combination la the red, white.

Nashville, and she held her way, making no sign of having given the shot any attention. For two minutes the Nashville held her way in the chase, and then tried another shot, that passed apparently within a rod of the Spaniard's bow and clipped spray from the crest of the waves for a mile beyond. The officer on the Spaniard's bridge at once reversed her engines, while a man ran aft and hastily lowered her flag. At 7:15 the Nashville brought to alongside the Spaniard, having every gun, big and little, in the starboard broadside pointed at her. Then a whaleboat was lowered, and Ensign Magruder, with a boarding crew of six men, was sent to take charge of tho prii.

She was found to.be the' Buenaventura, plying between New York, Havana and West India ports. She' had a cargo of lumber on deck forward, 'that was stowed so as to give her a list to port Meanwhile the torpedo boat1 roote had run down in the wake of tho Nashville, and brought to beside the Buenaventura. For. tho next half hour there was a good deal of filling and backing by the Nashvllle-and the Foote, as they lay about the Spaniard, Ensign Magruder took charge of the Spaniard's papers and sent a report regarding them to the Nashville. These were eventually sent to the flagship by the torpedo boat.

Foote. The flagship, with the battle ships, had b.een lying to dur.lng this time, and soon after a number of guns were fired from'tho Now York, the object of, which was not apparent. However, the torpedo boat Foote, after tarrying briefly at the side of tho flagship, returned to the Nashville. She brought orders that the Buenaventura was to be held, and a few minutes later the Nashville headed toward Key West and was followed by the Buenaventura. It was observed, however, that when the Nashville and Buenaventura had run a mllb or so toward port, they were stopped by signal from Adm.

Sampson; and for 15 or 20 minutes they hung on. wind, Then they headed away once more for port As the Buenaventura lay awaiting orders from Adm. Sampson her crew hung listlessly over the rail or -walked about her deck and gazed at tier captors. Tho Spanish officers- vyere oa the bridge most of the time, bu.t one, apparently the captain, wont to and 'from the bridge, toi the deck, and'down below. An American sailor had.

The sailors on tho bridge and at the wneel nau bayonets in their belts, and the men on deck kept their muskets In hand. One of these on deck was seen to examine his musket lock occasionally, and to handle tho weapon carelessly at frequent Intervals.

The crews on the Nashville and Footennd prize crew wero entirely sober, however, during the time occupied in waiting to start for' port. No demonstrations of joy or exultation were seen. The Nashville Is probably the most serviceable gunboat in the navy. She is a notable figure In the squadron, on account of the clean lines of her hull and her very tall smokestacks. Her coal capacity is so largo that she can tour 7,000 miles on what she carries, and on a pinch might do a fourth more than that.

Her battery of eight 4-inch rapid-fire with two 1-pounders and two colts (load squirters), is handled by her crow with unsurpassed precision. Galveston, April 22. The Buenaventura, captured by the United States gunboat Nashville, is a tramp, steamer hailing from Bllgoa, Spain. She belonged to the Sarrinaga line.

The North Atlantic squadron, except the monitors Terror and Puritan and the smaller cruisers, sailed from Key West at 5:45 o'clock Friday morning headed for the Florida Straits. The skies were growing gray with the coming dawn the formidable family of destroyers quietly and unostentatiously steamed away, presumably for the shores of Cuba. Besides the two monitors, the ships left behind are the gunboat Helena, cruisers Marblehead, Detroit, dispatch boat Dolphin and the torpedo boat Cushlng. Tho first streaks of the morning light wero crossing from the east and two bolls just sounded from the ships when tiny, and to unfamiliar eyes, an almost Imperceptible line of fire appeared on the sky above where lay the llagship. A moment or two after and tho signal staff of the Cincinnati, lying off Fort Taylor, in the inner harbor, flashed into colored light, acknowledging the call.

The Puritan and Helena joined in the incandescent conversation, and scon the skies were kaleidoscopic as ship after ship answered. New lights ticked messages fraught with the gravest import and creative of history. What words, of course, no one ashore knew but the few who watched with straining eyes from sea and docks, needed no interpreter to tell that it meant hostile action. The message was not long in delivery, but sunrise had fully come as the last letter flickered and went out Then the witnesses saw that the more-ment had actually begun under cover of the night. The big ships could still be discerned in the distance, but the others had moved toward them, the flagship other ships of, the squadron to her.

Tho Wilmington and Amphltrite had slipped from their anchorage and advanced within hailing distance of the flagship. It was just 5:42 when the New York, without unnecessary display, moved pompously and slowly toward the outer waters of the gulf. To those ashore it looked as if the New York was somewhat in advance of tho line, with the Iowa and Indiana following on either sida, but separated from her by a good stretch of water. As the line advanced toward the horizon the ships spread out until perhaps there was a distance of three miles between tho tips of the crescent. The ships of the Inner harbor had slipped out one by one and stopped at various stations until the entire formation was ready to move.

The exact order of the ships could not be ascertained from the shore. From the highest point in Key IVest the line was semi-circular. Tho ships that followed the three leaders i were the cruisers Cincinnati, Ditrolt, Nashville, the gunboats Wilmington, Cas-tine, Machias, Newport monitors Amphltrite, the Mangrove, Mayflower and torpedo boat Foote. Why the powerful monitors Puritan and Terror did not accompany the fleet could not officially bo learned but It Is said they may follow shortly. The Marblehead Is taking on water and will doubtless join the squadron in a day or two.

Washington, April 22. The follow. Ing proclamation announcing a blockade of Cuban ports was Issued Friday. BT THS PUESIDSNT OF THE MIXED STATES: A Whereas, By a Joint resolution passed by the congress and approved April 20, 18)3, and communicated to the government of Spain, it was demanded that said government at once relinquish Its authority and government In the island o( Cuba, and withdraw Its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters; and the president of the United States was directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of tho United States, and to call Into the actual service of the United States the mllttla of the several states to such extent as might be necessary to curry such resolution Into effect and, Whereas, In carrying Into effect said resolution, tho president of the United States deems It necessary to set on foot and. maintain a blockade of the north coast of Cuba, Including all ports on said coast between Curdenus and Behla Honda, and the port of Cienfuegosonthu south coast of Cuba: Now, therefore, William McKinley, president of the United States.ln order to enforce the said resolution, do hereby declare and proclaim that the United States of America have instituted and will maintain blockade of the north coast of Cuba, Including ports on'sald coast botween Cardenas and Babla Honda and the port of Ctenf uegos, on tho south coast of Cuba, aforesaid, in pursuance of the laws of the United States and the law of nations applicable to such cases.
