There were negotiations going on about the disposition of the US Ft.- Lincoln was overriding those by attempting to resupply the Fort.

I'll repeat. Wasn't the time to negotiate the disposition of federal property before secession? Seizing the property and offering to negotiate after the fact seems akin to taking posession of the house and offering to pay for it after you've moved in.
