 the party offended returns the salute. That Huerta merely had "suggested" and "inquired' also was revealed and , officials found they had interpreted his previous inquiries and suggestions as promises.
 When the President reached the White House, Postmaster General Burleson vas
 waiting. Acting Chairman Shively of the Senate foreign relations committee arrive 1
 a few minutes later. They studied the Huerta message only a few minutes and Were unanimously agreed a 1eply, which was drafted and dispatched to Charge O'Shaughnessy. It was couched in strong language and its tenor wGs m dicated by the public statement issued
 from the White House saying that unless
 Huerta had yielded by 6 O clock Sunday
 afternoon" the President would lay the
 situation before Congress.
 Word that a message was on it's way
 from Mexico City to the state depart-
 ment here was received by Secretary
 Bryan shortly before midnight. Owing
 to the difficulty in telegraphic transmits
 sions from Mexico City it was uncertain when the message would arrive Secretary Bryan had no intimation ot the contents of the message, but kept
 state department officials on duty during
 the night to receive and decipher 1t. As
 soon as it has been translated 1t will be
 transmitted to President Wilson. who will receive it on his arrival at White Sulphur Springs tomorrow morning.

GRUbb'S SDEC|S|ONON WATER RATE CASE IS SUSTAINED BY COURT
Appellate Court Upholds District Judge in Restrain ing City From Lower
 ing Water Rates

New Orleans. April 1s.-(SpeciaD | city of Birmingham is restrained from l lowering its water rates by d decision handed down here today by the fed
 eral court of appeals. The appellate court sustained the decision of Judge Grubb of the United States district court.
 Commissioner James Weatherly when informed last night of the decision of the appellate court declined to com ment.
 The litigation between the water works company and the city began with the passage of an ordinance to
 lower the existing water rates. The company asked in the federal court for
 an injunction to restrain the city from
 enforcing the ordinance and Judge Grubb granted it, holding that the city had no power to pass an ordinance es-
 tablishing rates differing from those in the contract existing between the city
 and the company at the time. The city appealed from his decision. There Is at present pending in the
 state courts proceedings to declare void the franchise of the waterworks com pany. thus annulling the contract and enabling the city to establish the low CT rates.

On Board the U. S. s. Arkansas, al Sea, by Wireless Via Jupiter, Fla, April 1S.-The battleships under command oi Rear Admiral Badger are proceeding steadily on their way to Mexican Wa ters. Admiral Badger is confident the fleet is prepared for any emergency but Is unwilling to disclose his ten tative plans.
 Rear Admiral Frank F. Fletcher, in command of the warships at Vera Cruz has been instructed to meet the Ar kansas and other battleshps compos- ing the squadron off Tampico, Wednes- day, April 22, when it is expected the entire fleet will be assembled. That will mean not less than 10000 men.

 | It was o'clock before the ulti- matum to Hucrta had been put into cipher and dispatched from Washing ton. Officials estimated it would be delivered in Mexico City early tonight.
 Allowing time for it's consideration by Huerta and his advisers, it was not believed any answer would be ready before late at night at the earliest and could not reach here until sometime
 tomorrow.
 Meanwhile aides at the navy depart ment went into secret conference com pleting plans for the movement of warships and marines Rear Admiral Victor Blue. acting Secretary of the Navy. forwarded to Rear Admiral Bad ger. on the flagship Arkansas, at the head of the fleet speeding to Mexico, the text of President Wilson's state

 At Vera Cruz, Rear Admiral Fletcher has the battleships Florida and Utah and the transport Prairie with a large
 complement of marines. The .battleships
 under Rear Admiral Badger today were
 reported off Key West, Fla, and are to
 arrive Tuesday. On orders from Wash

 Monday. It was generally agreed,
 however, that the force now at ,Tampico
 and Vera Cruz is sufficient to carry
 out any plan of action President Will

 the Presidents mind of the right of the

national law as constituting a declaration of war have been discussed. Any of these,
 of course, may be construed by Huerta
 as cause for war and change the status of affairs, but precedent shows many a case in which peaceful blockade was de- cared shutting off one nation from com-
 mercial intercourse with another or the seizure of a customs house and the col lection of duties without involving either nation in war.
 Peaceful Blockade
 The peaceful blockade has not been
 looked on by President Wilson as very effective measure because precedent has not determined definitely whether a nation has the right to cut off the offending party from all commerce. It is admitted the United States could shut off Mexico from all commerce with the United States. but whether, foreign vessels also could be prevented from engaging in commerce with Mexico without a declaration of war is "a disputed point.
 It is apparent the President has in mind other forms of reprisal," term in in- ternational law defined as "a means of putting stress on a wrong-doing state, by something short of war;
 Landing of marines and even the bonn bardment of a town have been held as measures "short of war" In 1895 the Brit ish fleet sent a force ashore at Corinto, Nicaragua, seized a customs house and held it for 15 days until an indemnity was agreed on for indignities to a British vice consul.
 All officials were agreed that if Huerta did not yield. Tampico and Vera Cruz probably would be occupied. and held
 until reparation was made in the form of a salute as demanded by Rear Admiral Mayo on April 9.
 | The demand at that time. called for the hoisting of an American flag on shore,
 but Rear Admiral Mayo has notified the
 Mexican commander that he would not
 insist on that point as long the salute
 was fired to an American flag flying from the mast of the Dolphin. It is be- lieved the purpose of this is not to pro- yoke any unnecessary demonstration | against foreigners in Tampico. | While predictions as to what will hap | pen were numerous, there were some of- | ficials high in the councils of the ad- ministration who believed Huerta would not yield, but would force the United | States to land marines or occupy coast | towns. With the act of American agres- | sion completed these officials believe | Huerta will attempt to appeal to the patriotism of all factions in Mexico to repel the invader. Some observers fore

DISCUSS POSITION OF JAPAN
washington Diplomats Talk Over Pos
sibilities of Such a
Move.

Washington, Aug. THE POSSIBLE,
ity that Japan might become involved
In a general war should her ally, Eng,
land, be drawn into the threatened
vortex in Europe, was discussed in
diplomatic circles here. The treaty
of alliance between Great Britain and
Japan, signed in 1905 and renewed in
1911, provides hat the countries shall
support each other in the event of an
attack or aggressive action against
either in eastern Asia or India by an.
other power.
From time to time there have been
rumors OF secret clauses, greatly ex.
tending the scope of the convention
and making it apply to hostiIities con.
Quoted outside of the Far East, but the
existence of any such extra provisions
is unknown to the state department
or to the Japanese embassy here.
Japan's being drawn into any war
that might involve Great Britain with
Germany or Austria or Italy is believ.
ed to hinge entirely upon naval deVel-
opments in the Far East.
