Refusal Of Mexicans to Salute
Flag Brings Relations TO
Breaking Point.

WASHINGTON, April a.
Sixteend American dreadnoughts
carrying $4,000 American blue
jackets to-day were ordered to
Tampico, Mexico, by President
Wilson to force an apology for
the insult offered the American
flag on Thursday last when
American marines were arrested
by Mexican authorities.
In addition to the sixteen battle
ships, comprising the entire Atlantic
feet, 500 marines now at New Or
leans were ordered to Tampico on the
transport Hancock and the torpedo
feet at Pensacola, Fla. was notified
that it probably would have to ac-
company the Atlantic fleet to Mexican
waters.
While no Government officials here
would comment upon the orders or
what they implied, they generally
were understood to mean that the Ad-
minlstration has abandoned its
"watchful waiting policy and that it
intends to demand reparation for the
insult offered by the Tampico author
tiles
Cabinet Decides on Action.
Decision to send the fleet to Tam

Mexicans Refuse Salute.
A wireless report from Rear Ad-
miral Mayo, stating that not only had
the salute not been fred, but the port
officers said they did not intend to
fire any salute. induced President
Wilson and the Cabinet to order the
entire fleet rushed to Tampico for a
demonstration.
The assembling OF the score Of
dreadnoughts and the dozen or more
smaller vessels off Tampico will form
one Of the greatest offensive naval
demonstrations the world ever has
witnessed.
Naval experts here stated that
single broadside from this fleet would
blow all the Tampico fortihcations to
pieces.
It is not believed here. however
that the Atlantic fleet will do any
thing more at present than make a
hostile demonstration. No shots will
be fred unless Congress authorizes a

Illinois Senator Advocates His Bill to
Recognize State Primary Laws
In Senate Speech.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Advocat-
ing his bill to recognize state primary
laws for the selection of delegates to
national conventions and the election of
national committees, Senator Sherman,

mary, on the ground that it would re-
suit in a few states absolutely control
ing presidential nominations.

fairness nor Justice" said he "Sball

TAKES ISSUE WITH
SECRETARY M 'CLURE
Representative Johnson Pre-
cipitates Warm Debate Be-
fore Lands Committee.
Special to The Tribune,


WASHINGTON, March 5.-Challeng.
ing the statements made by Secretary
Mcclure of Salt Lake, secretary Of the
National Woolgrowers association, be-
fore the house committee on public
lands, at its hearing on the Kent graz
ing lease bill, Representative Johnson
precipitated a warm discussion over
public land matters in Utah and the
west. Secretary Mcclure made the
statement that there were practically
no remaining public lands in Utah,
Idaho, Nevada, Montana and Wyoming
fit for agriculture; tnat the average
rainfall in this territory was prohibi.
tive of agricultural success, and that
only about % per cont OF the entries
under the 320-scre law were really
bona fide, the others being largely made
by spectators or migratory misfits -
who hope to sell out to the big stock
men later.
Johnson challenged these statements
and pointed to the successful dry farm
colonies in Juab, Sanpete, San Juan
and other counties in Utah. He de-.
clared more and more areas in Utah
were, being taken up under the 320-acre
law by those who did so with the sole
idea OF making a home, and not for
speculative purposes, and said it was
his belief there were still thousands of
acres Of land in Utah to be made pro-
ductive under dry farming. He chal-
lenged the statement that rs per cent
of Utah entrYmen were of the class de-
scribed by Secretary Mcclure, assert
ing that in his opinion not one in a
hundred were actuated by any motive
other than to make a home,

ing to dispatches reaching here from
that city.
LII is understood here that strict
censorship has been imposed on dis
patches from Brazil.
Reports have been current for some
time that a revolutionary movement
was IN existence in the Brazilian states
of Pernambuco, Ceara and Para, and
that fighting was in progress between
the local forces and the government
authorities.
The causes of the disaffectiou were
said to have been racial differences,
In the last week of February a body
Of fanatics was reported to be march
ing on Rio de Janeiro.
The situation in the various states
was reported as becoming worse, espe-
cially in Ceara.
Business was said to be virtually
suspended in several states, chiefly
those where the negro population is
very numerous.
The state OF Ceara at the last census
had population of about $50. 600.
Para 100000 and Pernambuco 100000.

said, and his only information of what
the dispatch related to WAS contained

Rio, are quite distinct. The southern
provinces are considered the more pro

and are the center Of very extensive
coffee interests,

is reported, the negro population pre-
dominates. Nothing has been received
recently at the state department CON
corning racial clashes in any of those

Although German is his native

the man. The text Of the letter was in
German, and Haitsch, who has been in

Haitsch was found here last month
few days after the police of Los An
geles received notice from Mrs. Kunsch
that kidnapers had demanded 5000 ran
SOM for her brother. Hospital sur
geons say Haitsch presents one Of the
memory. This condition, they declare,
was induced by abject fright or torture
undergone by Haitsch. The man now
is learning to speak English, but he re-

last month, when she was notified by
the San Bernardino police that man
believed to be Haitsch had been found
wandering around the streets in a
daZed condition.
