Mexico City, April 20.-President
Huerta's refusal to salute the flag was
handed to Charge O'shaughnessy at 8
p. m.
On Board the u. S. S. Louisiana
Via Wireless Naval Radio Station,
Jupiter, Fla, April 20).-Off Key West
the Louisiana was put on full speed to
overtake the U. S. S. Michigan. The
landing forces on the Louisiana are
being organized in readiness for land
ing. The Louisiana passed the U. S.
S. Lebanon, which will be used to send
the landing force up the Panuce river
to Tampico. President Wilson's uIti-
matum to Provisional President Huer-
ia has been communicated by wireless.
Washington, April 2o.-The time
limit in the Wilson uItimatum expired
at 1885 p. m.
1t is believed here that Huerta's fail
ure to yield to the uItimatum of the
United States will make it impossible
for President Wilson to pay any
further attention to future advances
from the Mexican dictator.
The most significant fact is the or
dering of the full torpedo fIotiIIa at
Pensacola, Fla, to get under way at
once for Tampco.
Dispatches from the City of Mexico
state that Huerta fears he will lose his
slender hold on the Mexican people if
he salutes the United States flag.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1914-04-22

Washington, April 2O-President
Wilson expects war. The president
will commence work at eight o'clock
on his personal address to congress,
in which he will request permission
to use the army and navy of the
United States to uphold the dignity
and defend the honor of the nation
The presidents private stenogra-
pher was ordered to report for duty
at the White House at eight o'clock.
The president expects Immediately to
commence dictation and he will prob
ably complete his address within half
an hour. 1t is expected to be very
brief and to the point. The message
will probably be delivered at noon,
provided, of course, that a belated
dispatch from President Huerta does
not arrive saying that the dictator
will salute the flag according to the
schedule laid out by Rear Admiral
Mayo
This, however, is not expected. A
temporizing message from the Mex
lean dictator reached the president.
Over the long-distance telephone the
president instructed Secretary Bryan
that he did not consider that this
note needed a reply.
The United States is through with
note writing, the president indicated.
The next move will be a blow from
the mailed fist, stroke from the At
lantic fleet.
