On the Verge of War.
Huerta having refused to salute the
American flag as demauded, President
Wilson at a joint sossion of congress
yesterday asked for approval to "use
the armed forces of tho United States
in such ways and to such extent as may
be necessary to obtain from General
Huorta nnd his adherents tho fullest
recognition of tho rights and dignity of
the United States." A resolution
granting the president this power
passed the house and a bill authorizing
an appropriation of fifty millions was
introduced. Tho resolution came be
fore the senate for action at 0:15 last
night, and though the result is not
known at this writing it is probable the
resolution also passed that branch of
congress.
American merchant vessels havo been
ordered out of Vera Cruz harber by
direction of tho President and Ameri
canB hnve been warned to leave Mexico
for their own safety. A number of
battleships are on the way to Tampico
and Vera Cruz to augment tho war
vessels already there.
Should Huerta make no overtures to
avert war, tho first actions tuken by
the United States would bo the seizure
of the ports of Vera Cruz and Tampico
the seizure of Mexican war vessels in
these waters; and tho seizuro of tho
railroad from Vera Cruz totheJMoxican
capital. Then would follow the send
ing of troops into Moxico and the in
vestment of Mexico City.
