O'SHAUGREESSY'S 5
WITHDRAWAL
ASKED

Washington, April 22.-The reported
action Of General Huerta in asking
the withdrawal of Mr.. O'Shaughnes-
sy, the American charge of embassy
in Mexico City, and instructing Senor
,Algara, the Mexican charge Of
embassy here, to demand his pass
ports, technically constitutes com
plete breach Of diplomatic relations
between the United States govern
ment and the de facto government Of
General Huerta. though whether Sec
retary Bryan is Wiling to regard it
as more than the act Of an individual
and not Of the actual government Of
Mexico remains to be seen.
There is no precedent FOR a refusal
to accede to the demand for passport
nor to fail to withdraw a diplomatic
representative on demand Of an es-
tablished government, but the present
situation involving as it does, de
facto government, which the United
States has not recognized, never be-
fore has arisen.
Such a severance of diplomatic re-
lations, though not necessarily a pre-
lude to war, is one of the steps that
must be taken if war is to be formal
ly declared, and it is surmised that
General Huerta is now about to re-
sort to that step, regardless Of any
construction that may be placed on
the existing status Of relations be-
tween the United States and MexicA
BY the executive Of the former coun-
try.
This sHrmise is we'll founded The
international relations Of Mexico nee
essarily would be greatly affected and
then readjusted to suit conditions Of
actual war, such as those arising from
a blockade and the necessity Of de.

MARINES BATTLE
AGAINST SHARP
SHOOTERS

washington, April 22.-American
operations in Mexica at Vera Cruz took
ON renewed aspects of war today
when Rear Admiral Fletcher landed
more marines from the Atlantic fleet,
and the United States forces proceed,
ed to take the entire city.
While the orders Of the president
were being carried out to the letter,
1t was made apparent in conferences
at the White House that the United
States will sit tight at Vera Cruz
and that no further steps of pacifi-
cation will be taken at this time.
No Action at Tampico
For the present It was declared on
high authority that the forces at Vera
Cruz would hold the city to convince
Huerta that this government means
business and that no action would be
taken at Tampico, unless there are
retaliatory actions on the part Of the
Huerta government.
No orders, it was stated, have been
sent to the American officers with
reference to taking Tampico, the only
orders being sent there referring to
directions for ships sent to Vera Cruz.
Admiral Badger will remain at Vera
Cruz until further notice.
No advancements further than Vera
Cruz on the part Of the United States
forces, it was made plain, would be
undertaken unless some overt act on
the part Of Huerta and his followers
should precipitate further trouble and
make more aggressive action neces-
sary
Serious Trouble Expected
Despite the purpose of the admins
tration to confine the operations to
Vera Cruz, the situation took on an.
ominous aspect, which indicates that
more serious consequences cannot be
averted Though not officially an
nounced, it was reported on high au-
thority that Senior Algara, the Mex
lean charge daffaires had been d.
rected by Huerta to ask for his pass
ports and that the American charge
at Mexico city, Mr.. O'shaughnessy,
had been asked to leave.

RESOLUTION GETS
ALMOST every
VOTE

Washington, April 22.-Without de-
bate and without the formality of a
roll call the house today ooncurred in
the administration Mexican resollI-
ton, as adopted by the senate, which
iustifies the president in using the
armed forces of the United States in
securing amends for indignities suffer
ed by the nation in Mexico.
On the viva voce vote the "ayes'
were in pronounced majority. A few
negative votes were heard here and
there on the republican side, when
Speaker Clark put the question. After
a S0-minute session the house ad-
journed until noon and when It re-
convened Speaker Clark signed the
resolution.
Flood Favors Substitute
Addressing the house in support Of
the substitute for the house resolution
Of justification, Mr. Flood said that
when he introduced the original reso-
llition Monday he believed it was In
the proper form to carry out the
purposes outlined in the address Of
the president.
And did not desire to make war
on Mexico; the senate amendment
adopted states this in SO many words.
The substance of this resolution is
therefore unchanged. In this momen-
tous hour, and in the circumstances
confronting this house, prompt action

Of the president is Of the utmost inn
portance, and it would be childish to
bubble over the words OF the resolu-
tion when the substance is the same.
This is the view of the president.

by gentlemen on the other side to
make partisan capital of the present
unfortunate situation between this
country and Mexico. hope the gem
tlemen have exhausted their misguided
efforts in that direction and that this

chief executive Of the nation without

Mann Opposed to War

Wann creates pelay
As Speaker Clark stood with poised
hands to attach his signature to the
resolution Representative Mann made
the point that he was acting without
authority, as it was necessary for the
senate to be informed that the house
concurred in its substitute.
The speaker replied that he had no
doubt Mr.. Mann was technically cor
rect, and thereupon Representative
Underwood said he would move that
