American Colors VIII Be Given
National Salute AS Part of
PREPARATION for Indignities to
Yankee Tars

WASHINGTON. April 13--Tho
American flag will be given a national
salute of twenty-one guns by the fed
eral forces at Tampico.
It became known here tonight that
Admiral Mayos demand for this sa-
Lutte, as part OF the reparation for the
indignities put upon an American
naval officer and marines at Tampico,
is supported vigorously by this gov
eminent, and that the rendering of
necessary a demonstration of force
will be made TO convince President
Huerta and his commander at Tam pi-
co that this time the United States
is backing up its word to the limit.
The attitude of officials here today
with regard othe admiraIs demand
for a salute was notably suffer than
II was Yesterday. The more vigorous
tone adopted today is commonly at
tributed 10 the fact that message
has been received from President Will
son expressing his approval Of Admir-
al Mayo's action. Admiral Mayo is be-
ing widely praised for his vigorous ac-
ton at Tampico.
Charge O'Shaughnessy has been in
structed to see Huerta again about the
Tampico incident. and impress upon
him the seriousness OF the affront
which his military commander at Tam
pico offered the American naval men
and the United States flag. 1t is likely
that a more explicit apology will be
demanded,
