Washington, April 16. - President
Huerta of Mexico, Is willing to salute
the American flag on condition that
the American ships return the salute.
Acting Chairman Stanley of the SEN
ate committee on fereign relations ad-
mitted this afternoon that he had been
"officially advised" that this answer
to the United States demands was
transmitted to Charge d'Affaires
o'Shaughnessy today,
"This stipulation, said Shively, sis
merely request that the usual forms
be complied with OF course if the
Mexicans salute we will salute in re-
turn.
''This, however, will not constitute
recognition to Huerta as head of a de
lure government Of Mexico. 1t is a
recognition of only u de facto govern
ment, just as our demand was recog-
milton of dc faeto government.
"There is no de jure government in
Mexico to recognize.
81 suppose Huerta's compliance
with our demands will end the present
situation and leave matters where they
were before. In fact, 1 can't think
Of any other way in which the situation
can work out if Huerta does what he
seemed today to intend doing"
AN American Breakdown.
The question whether the United
States could return the Mexican salute
without recognizing the Huerta govern
ment thereby, was an acute one, how
ever. Many influential men disagreed
Al. 4ne II .lgr,
was one of them. He contended that a
return of thesalute would be an AmeTi-
can backdown.
President Wilson indicated the ut
most pleasure at the way matters were
shaping themselves.
1t could not be learned whether the
original naval plans would be carried
out but the impression prevailed that
some at least of the ships on their
way southwark would be recalled if the
flag were saluted before the reached
Tampieo. 1t was believed others would
be diverted to Guantanamo, where they
would be within striking distance of
the Mexican coast in case of a fresh
crisis.
May Recognize Factions.
1t was learned on administration
authority that the government was con-
sidering steps to prevent the rebels
from getting more arms and ammuni-
tion from the United States. This was
because some suspicion existed, despite
the denial by constitutionaist leaders
of any interest in Huerta' g troubles
with America, that the drastic action
President Wilson is taking might re-
suit in reconciliation of federals and
rebels.
Preparations were being made here
today to assist Americans in Mexico to

Low pressures prevail from Califor-

have again fallen on the east gulf and
south Atlantic coasts. Light rain or
snow in the northern Rocky mountain

has resulted from the northwestern
storm, the center of which is over Sas-
katchewan. An area of relatively high

Freezing temperatures are reported

MANDOT WINS IN
2O-ROUND BATTLE
Rivers Is Victim of Classy
Lightweight in Slashing
Bout at New Orleans.

New Orleans, Oct 5.-Referee Dick
Burke gave a popular decision, even II
1t was not exactly the right one, when
he raised Joe Mandot's right hand in
token of victory over Joe Rivers OF
Los Angeles, Cal, at the end of their
20-round battle yesterday afternoon at
the West Side Athletic club.
It could not have been other than a
popular verdict, for the simple reason
that among the 5000 or more boxing
fans present there probably were not
80 Rivers supporters.
1t appeared that the Mexican de-
served a draw. Despite the fact that
he missed frequently, loafed some and
was outboxed at times, the California
Hot Tamale's' terrific work to the
body, which was overlooked by the in
experienced spectators, coupled with
the fact that ON two different occas-
ions he had Mandot in bad way-in
the 18th and goth rounds-earned him
an even break
But it must be handed to Mandot
that he put up one of the best bouts
of his career in so far as generalship
goes A greater part of this general
ship consisted of mustard plaster en-
braces, in which the baker youth held
like a leech to keep his swarthy OPP
ponent from tickling his ribs with
heavy rights and lefts.
At long range Mandot, at periods,
tented with his head so cleverly that
he had Rivers fioundering around the
ring, laughably awkward. Where Riv-
ers' good work came in was when, af-
ter wildly rushing and missing a left
swing, he would steady himself. bring
ing another heavy left to Mandot's
chin.
Rivers entered the ring first; Man
dot followed few seconds after Man
dot won the toss for corners and took
the west angle of the ring to avoid a
few rays of sunlight which found a
way in through the openings at the
top of the arena. 1t was announced
that both boys had made the weight
-133 pounds-at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning without any trouble.

men agreed there possibly was n need

the methods proposed In the bill for
their correction.
