ing engulfing all Mexico. But Huerta
in the south ard Carranza in the
north will be both strictly account
able for the lives Of Americans them
selves. Beyond asserting that the next
move must come from Huerta, there
is no information forthcoming from
the president or cabinet today The
navy is rushing its forces to the an
nounced rendezvous. The army is
sitting tight-but officers have their
field kits packed. Secretary Bryan
was at his desk today, grave but de-
termined. He was the really worried

Unexpectedly with orders for instant
action, the ships of the north Allan
tic fleet had covered themselves with
glory and practically all were ready
to get under way today, their bunkers
full and their ammunition magazines
damned.
It was not expected that the navy
would see any real action. Tampico,
where they are going, is not the port
which would have bsen selected had
it been planned to send an expedition
airy force of blue jackets and marines
into Mexico. Vera Cruz is the ideal
point for that But when an armed
force enters Mexico-if 1t does-it

the united service here today. They
were all confident that would
eventually be the gathering point and
each man was certain that he at
least would get there.

Orders Not to Salute.
VERA CRUZ, April 15.-General
Mas, commanding the federal forces
in Vera Cruz was in communication
with the commanders at Tampico to-
day but no change was made in the
orders that the American flag should
not be saluted. At the order of Cen
