morrow morning. WILSON'S ULTIMATUM
 GIVEN TO THE PURLIC

The White House later made public paraphrase of Secretary Bryan's tel egram to Charge O'Shaughnessy yester- day afternoon, directing the deliverance Of President Wilson's ultimatum IL was as follows: Say to General Huerta in reply to yours of April IT, that the President of the United States feels great disappointment at his failure to make prompt and willing reparation Tor Insults offered to American sailors at Tampico, the offense being still further aggravated by the subsequent arrest of mail carrier of the United States at Vera Cruz. In the belief that General Huerta would on considera- ton accede to the most reasonable de- mands of Admiral Mayo time has been given him. From your telegram it would seem that this governments s forbearance has been misinterpreted under all the circumstances the re- quest for simultaneous salute is as unjustifiable as is the arrest of Amer ican sailors and this makes it impos- sible for this government to consider further delay.
 You are instructed to inform Gen eral Huerta that unless he announces his intention to comply with Admiral Mayo's demand by 6 o'clock D. m.. Sun day, April 19, the President will lay the matter before Congress Monday, with a view of taking such action to enforce the respect due our nations 8 flag as may be necessary.
 General Huerta can arrange the de- tails of the salute with Admiral Mayo if he reconsiders the position taken by him. Should he adhere to the posi- ton he has taken, you will make the of this telegram known to the representatives of foreign governments and send a paraphrase of the telegram to all consulates of America stationed in Mexico, so that it may be communi oated to American citizens who should at the same time be reminded of the Presidents advice to withdraw from Mexico until order is restored.
 You are instructed to inform us as to General Huertas attitude and an sWer as promptly as possible.
 Secretary Bryan held a conference with Secretary Daniels, Secretary Humility and Boaz Long, chief of the Latin-Amer- ican bureau of the state department.
 About 11:30 o'clock Senator Shively, acting chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee. reached the White House and joined the conferees.

 EI Paso. Tex, April ls.-what the at titude of the rebel government will be if the United States blockades Mexican ports is question which repeatedly has huahua by newspaper men in the last week, but he has evaded reply.
 In view of the crisis tonight another endeavor was made with the same end in view but Robert Y. Pasauiera, the rehel confidential agent here. said no statement could be obtained tonight. One might be forthcoming tomorrow, but this, he said was doubtful.
 When the first request was made a week ago General Carranza issued a statement which in the main WAS a repetition Of a speech he had made at Juarez. He did remark, however that the revolution must be prosecuted to ;le end, leaving tae reader to draw from it variety of conclusions.
 Rumor tonight had it that General Villa ard General Carranza had agreed to con- tinue their campaign as if no complica- ton between Huerta and the United States existed unless United States troops should invade rebel territory or rebel ports should be blockaded
 Privately. some high officials have ex- pi essed the opinion that there was ex- tfeme danger that the rebel soldiers could not be restrained from joining in a fight against foreign enemy. However 1t is regarded here propabe that consti- tutionalists leaders will do everything in their power to avoid complications with the United States and will take advan- tage of Huerta's predicament to further their own cause.
 Juarez, Mexico, April 19-Matters of the greatest importance will be discussed at Chihuahua tomorrow. it is said, if General Villa. IS expected. arrives there for the first of a series of interviews with Gen e"al Carranza.
 Whether Huerta salutes the America n flag or not. the Tampico incident will come in for grave consideration, as rebel leaders declare their belief that Huerta would not hesitate to bring about for eiGn war if by so doing he hoped to unite the country All cabinet members ex- cept Secretary Zubarin, of the interior department. it is said will be present Zubarin and Roberto N Pesquiera, con fdential agent of the eonstitutionalists at Fl Paso, will arrive Tuesday.

MANN SAYS ADMINISTRATION
 HAS MADE BLUNDER

There is no occasion for war at this time. and l do not think there is any oc- casion for war, or anything like war for an imagined slight? I think the course of the administration has been very blundering one. We have not been in formed as to what the facts have been in this matter. It would be disgraceful to bring about war without making any effort to prevent war. The administra- ton seems to want to go to war over what it calls a punctillo.'
 Regardless of party said Represen- tative Cooper of Wisconsin, ranking re- publican on the House foreign affairs committee, Congress will stand by the administration in this grave emergency. sincerely hope that this situation as disclosed late tonight will not develop into war Every effort should be made to avert war
