JVestcrn Newspaper Union News .Service
Washington. General VIclorlanc
Huertn, provisional president of Mex
ico, has flatly refused to accedo to the
unconditional demands of the United
States that he salute the American
flag. Congress will be asked by Presi
dent Wilson for authority to uso
nrtned force to uphold tho honor and
dignity of the nations.
Negotiations with Huorta over tho
demand for n salute in reparation for
tho arrest of American bluojackets at
Tamplco on April 10, canto to a close
Sunday at 6 o'clock, tho last hour
given by President Wilson for a
fnvorablo rcsponso from tho Mexican
dictator. The final word of Huorta to
Charge O'Shaughnessy was a refusal
to comply unless tho United States
would guarantco In writing that hit
saluto would bo returned.
Huerta Welcomes War.
Mexico City. President Huerta wel
comes war. Tho news of the approach
ing American fleet has caused no'ex
citement in the capital. Tho govern
ment takes tho attitude that It is high
ly pleased to know that it will have an
opportunity to greet' tho armed forces
of the United States.
Tho above message, Bent in code to
ejade the censor, was received at the
New York office of the United Press
at 12:30 o'clock Sunday morning. It
was the second code message received
from the United Press staff correspon
dent In Mexico City. The first, re
ceived Friday, when translated said
that Huerta desired war and was seek
ing to bring it about. The message,
although in code evidently had been
abbreviated byMhe censor.
Troops Ready to Move.
El Paso. Troops at Fort Bliss are
under orders to come Into this city and
place it under martial law the moment
there Is an apearance of concerted dis
order. These instructions were issued
by the war department when the Tam
plco incident first assumed a grave
aspect. There is a large Mexican pop
ulation here, and the orders to the
troops at the fort, five miles from the
city, were issued because of the possl-
Dlllty that partisans might start burn
ing buildings or rioting.
President Takes a Quiet Day.
"White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.
President Wilson detached himself al
most completely from tho Mexican
crlsiB Sunday, diverting himself from
worry over what Huerta's answer
might be to the American ultimatum
by a quiet day In the company of Mrs.
Wilson and their two daughters.
Real Origin of Situation.
Washington. It was learned from a
high official source that the situation
which culminated In tho order to Rear
Admiral Badger was about as follows:
"For some time past tho do facto
government of Mexico has Indicated
by Its attitude Jbat it considered mere
apologies sufficient when the rights of
American citizens or the dignity of the
government of the United States was
involved and has apparently mado no
attempt at either reparation or to ef
fect correction of the serious derelic
tions of Its civil and military ofllcers.
"Immediately after the arrest of
Kopp and his men at Tamplco an or
derly from ono of Fletcher's warships
In Vera Cruz, who had been sent
ashore for the. ship's mail, and who
was In full uniform with tho official
mall bag acrosihls shoulder, was ar
rested and Jailed by tho Vera Cruz
authorities. Ho was not released until
summary representations had beon
made by the American consul.
"Tho federal officer "who -arrested
him received only nominal punish
ment." Washington. Huerta Iibb parleyed
again. Ho demands that his saluto to
the United States flag shall be re
turned simultaneously, gun for gun.
This President Wilson Is practically
certain not to accopt.
This last hitch nt tho eleventh
hour, when officials hero expected tho
situation was as good as closod up,
was disclosed in dispatches from
Chargo O'Shaughnessy. President
Wilson discussed it with the cabinet.
Administration officials said privately
Huorta's counter proposition would
not be accepted.
Tho development confirmed the
fears ot thoso officials who expected
Huerta would equlvocato ngaln. Any
intention of recalling any ships of tho
fleet now bound to Tamplco was
abandoned and thoso closo to tho ad
ministration expectod to see President
Wilson's demand for an unqualified
apology backed up.
Secretary Bryan instructed Mr.
O'Shaughnessy to finally Inform
Hucrta-ihat the United States will ac
cept nothing less than a salute ot twenty-one
guns, and that the American
hips will reply after the salute bat
been fired.
