sage to Congress in a
Few Days.
General Huerta submitted to an ex-
ecutive session of the Mexican Senate
late yesterday the demands OF the
American government for salute to
the flag. No word had been received
by the Washington government lati
last night as to the result of the dc
Iberations.
Although no definite informatio1
was available, the fact that Gene
Huerta had submitted the case to t.
Mexican Senate, which is specially
charged with the conduct Of foreign
relations, and not to the entire Con-
gress, led to the belief in Washington
that he had sought authorization from
the Senate for arbitration Of the
question under the treaty of ls48 be7

Intervention Indicated.
Intervention rests at the other end Of

That this Is so was forcibly indicated
