WnshinKton, March 17. Tlie main
developments in the Spanish situation
yesterday was in connection with the
definite representation submitted by
the Spanish government to the state
department concerning- the assembling
of a larg;e lleet of American warships
at Key West, the war preparations and
the influence which these ininht have
on the approaching election in Cuba
It has been specially pointed out that
the presence of a large lleet of United
States warships at Key West cannot be
regarded as a friendly measure, as the
sending of ships was oltlclally repre
sented to be when the ilalne went to
Havana and the Vizcaya returned the
complimentary visit. In short, the
presence of this extensive lleet near
Cuba, together with the war measures
taken by the United States, are regard
ed by Spain as seriously prejudicial to
the policy of autonomy which Spain
and the United States have alike ap
proved and an indirect encouragement
to the Insurgents in defeating the de
sires of both governments for the suc
cess of that policy.
Finally, and in the same spirit of
friendly representation rather than of
protest, Spain hns pointed out that a
war by the United States against
Spain under such circumstances would
be unjustifiable before the world, and
a crime against humanity and civiliza
tion. The representations contained no
reference whatever to the Maine dis
aster or to redress of indemnity there
for. While these representations cannot
propel ly be regarded as a protest
against the attitude and acts of the
United States government, thov mnv
umiuesiionoiy ue set down as a re
monstrance calculated to have an ef
ieet in jijuropean court circles. Not
iiuwever, oeing a technical protest, the
statement has not called forth any of
ficial rejoinder on the part of the state
department, for it is lacking in tangible
accusations, being rather an argument
ative presentation of alleged Spanish
tjnevances.

Key West yesterday afternoon. She
