 WILSON'S DEMAND
(Continued from First Page.)

| pleaSeQ With Charge U oIlauS messy
 for his close association with General 1 Huerta Secretary Humility said the
 president had always spoken of the l American charge in a most compli-
 mentary manner and realized the diff.
 ficulty of his position.
 1 The messages from Charge O'Shaughnessy apparently no longer
 are being delayed or intercepted.
 White House officials said they were 1 coming through with regularity
 President Wilson cancelled travel ing reservations for tonight for White Sulphur Springs, w. Va, where
 he planned to join Mrs. Wilson. He
 may go tomorrow.
 l Ambassadors Were Active. It was we'll understood in diplo- ! matic circles that both Count Von i Bernstorff and Jules J. Jusserand, the <! German and French ambassadors, re- !; spectively, had been active through ] their foreign offices in bringing about q relief of the Mexican crisis. 7! Other Dispatches Expected. ] Other dispatches from Charge ! O'Shaughnessy were expected today, but both President Wilson and Sec 1 retary Bryan were convinced by the 1 dispatches already at hand that ; Huerta had yielded to the pressure ] from Washington and the dispatch of i the demands
 ! Diplomatic representatives in Mex ico City under orders from their home foreign offices, anxious to avert ] break, had pressed Huerta to yield /. and Mexi"ans in the United States ! h inn hot to ! would be the best thing for Mexico.
 Just about the time MT. O'Shaugh- 1 nessy's dispatches were being laid be-
 fore the president Charge Algara, representing Huerta here, was ad-
 vised that some dispatches had been 1 received but was not fully informed l Of their nature. He was given to
 understand that they brought "Fa-
 vorable news"
 News Spreads Rapidly. 1 Word of the promised rift in the i storm clouds spread quickly to the l capitol, where the house foreign af- ! fairs committee had just adopted i resolution sustaining President Will ! son in his attitude. Several resoIu- ! t1ons were proposed, but one voting /! to sustain the president was adopteds unanimously. The resolution will <, not be taken before the house unless
 the crisis should not clear up finally and Mr. Wilson should find it neces- 1 sary to lay the situation before con- 1 gress.
 In the senate and house generalIv ! there was a mingled feeling of grati- l fcation and relief
 1 Officials Opinions Vary. . ! Some officials hocouco oF t1,o;,
 familiarity with the evasiveness of
 Huerta, were not inclined to be too
 sangulne over the dispatches from
 Charge OShaughnessy. Privately,
 they said they would be convinced
 when the salute actually was fired.
 Others, who knew of the great pres- 1 sure brought upon Huerta, did not 1 question that the dictator had seen
 the wisdom of yielding
 1t became known that Huerta had
 been led to believe that his own state
 ment of apology last Saturday was l ample redress; but when President
 Wilson was appraised of the situation
 he was not satisfied and demanded a
 salute
 1t was authoritatively stated that ] the only point remaining to be de- termined was the number of guns and
 that this would be speedily agreed up-
 on. At the state, war and navy de-
 partments officials considered the cri | sis passed
 1 Will Return Salute. President Wilson, describing his ad-
 vices from Mexico City as every en- ] couraglng,' told callers later today | that there was no known precedent
 asalnst returning salute and that in the natural course the United States would return salute when fired. Orders Not Changed. The president made it clear that orders to the Atlantic and Pacific ! fleets had not been changed. No time limit has been set for tba
 salute, according to the president. and
 the final word on the Huerta offer had not passed at 3 p. m. Rebels Are Silent.
 In this critical situation, the con- 1 stitutionalists, who by their success | slve victories over the federal i troops dominate northern Mexico. {! have as yet taken no part, but re- i ports have reached Washington that i during the next twenty-four hours : General Carranza and his cabinet
 would meet to decide what attitude should be assumed by them toward
 the dispatch of the American fleets to
 Mexican waters and the relations be- 1 tween the Huerta government and
 the United States generally. l Washington representatives of the ! const1tutlonalists have telegraphed :, their leaders counseling careful and
 cautious policy and suggesting that no pronouncement of any kind be in- ! terJected into the situation. The 1 constitutionalists here are emphatic 1 in their expressions that they do not 1 recognize Huerta's government or
