formation" said Senator Shiveley.
TThe situation Is. high encouraging
said SeGfetary Bryan. Then IT was
made known that dispatches from
Charge o'shauginessy had describ-
ed his conference with Huerta last
night as very cordial and satisfac-
tory" and officials said they were
convinced that unless the charge had
misinterpreted Huerta intentions
there was no doubt that compliance
with American demands for apology
would be forthcoming within the
next few hours and that the crisis
would be past.
The dispatches were not made
public nofwas any formal statement
made describing the situation. No
orders were issued to ships already
steaming toward Mexico. nor was
there any change IN the plans for
lnforcing President Wilson's de-
mand. Some officials gave II as the
personal view that Huerta had COM
piled with the demand for apology
and salutcd the American flag. some
| Of the ships now under way might be
turned back but certainly not before.
1t was pointed out that ull I'D.
ministration officials were. gratihed
by the news that Huerta was abont
to yield but that there was no dis
position to temporizc or delay furth-
Ter and that all the plans for action
would so as they lie and until all
cause for action had been removed.
Other dispatches from Charge O.,
|Shaughnessy were expected today
but both President Wilson aud Sec.
rotary Wilson and Secretary Bryan
We're convinced by the. dispatches al
ready at hand that Huerta had yield
ed to the pressure from Washington
and the dispatch Of the fleets on
both coasts to back up the demand.
Diplomatic representatives in
Mexico City under order from their
home foreign offices, anxious to
avert a break, have pressed Huerta
to yield and Mexicans in the United
States had advised him that to
apologize would be the best thing
for Mexico.
Senator Shiyely said that It was
the international custom to return
such salute as demanded from the
Huerta government: III Huerta
yields" said Senator shively, and
should fire the salute 10, the nag, the
salute Of course would call for a re.
turn salute from the American fleet
Such return salute could In mo- way
be considered as a recognition d
the Huerta regime. The Huerta gov.
crnment is defacto government
and 1t. is the defacto government
which has been asked by the United
States to salute the American colors
1t Is international custom 10 return
such salutes."

ton is understood to be to increase
the naval forces in Mexican waters
somewhat even after the salute Is
fired. SO that in such an event only
part Of the ships now steaming
south would be turned back.
The news was received at the
White House today just as Secretary
Bryan and acting chairman Shiyeley
