Todays News From Capital Leads to Opinion
That Dictator Will Order Salute of
Flag.

United Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, April 16.
President Huerta is willing
to fire a salute to the American
flag if the United States agrees
to return that salute.
Senator Shively, acting
chairman Of the senate foreign
committee admitted this after
noon that he had been official
" advised that this was the
answer. to. the. American. de-
mands, wired by Charge
O'Shaughnessy from Mexico
City.
The question of whether
this will solve the Mexican
crisis was still rendered acute
over the further problem Of
whether the United States
could return HnertA's salute
without officially recognizing
the provisional government.
Shively held that it would
not be recognition but other
authorities on international
law disagreed. The alterna-
tive presented by Hue1ta still
leaves the administration s
course undecided.
Senator Lodge, ranking re-
publican member of the for
eign relations committee held
that the return of a salute by
Huerta would be a " back down

States"

WASHINGTON, April r6.-The
most complete blockade ever enforced
by the United States is contemplated
by President Wilson for Mexico. Not
single mile of its Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts will be free from super
vision unless Huerta makes ample
reparation fo- recent outrages against
this government. But it will not be
decided until the feet. now steaming

er the blockade will be enforced
against shipping of every character
thereby completely isolating central
and southern Mexico Or only against
Mexican shipping.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1914-04-16

The Mexican congress was believed
today to hold the key to the situation.
Huerta has conferred with the SEN
ate and was reported preparing to
consult with the house on whether to
yield and salute the American flag
at Tamptco. His advisers were re-
ported in the confidential informa-
tion reaching here, as divided on the
Question, large percentage favoring
defiance on the ground that this
would force the hands Of the consti-
|tutionalists and drive them to recon
cile their differences and join forces
against common enemy. Charge
K O'Shaughnessy is keeping the state
department constantly informed on
the situation in Mexico City but none
|of this information is being made
public here. 1t was learned today that
tension in Mexico is increasing and
that already there have been anti
American demonstrations at a mum.
Der Of points. The chief OF these was
said to be at Vera Cruz where crowds
gathered near the American consulate
and hissad the consul and his assist
ants. The police are reported to have
dispersed the crowd but whether an
apology was forthcoming from the 10.
cal authorities is unknown. Prepara-
tions to assist Americans in leaving
Mexico have already been made. Many
women and children from the Mexico
City colony are already in Vera Cruz.
They will be sent north on the Ward
liner Esperanza which has been chart
cred by the United States.
Secretary Of State Bryan today com.
municated to all Of the foreign diplo.
mats here the intentions Of this gov.
ernment concerning Mexico. They
were told that they would be kept in
touch with developments from day to
day.
1t is the general opinion here that
lie Tampico is taken by the United
States, Carranza will be forced to as
sumo a position Of open hostility
Another attitude, officials here say,
would lose him sympathy of the great
mass of his followers.
There was growing belief among
naval officers today that Badger will
find that the Mexican federals have
evacuated Tampico If SO, it is likely
that the fleet will continue to Vera
Cruz and that the scene Of the en-
forced salute will be that port.

however. but they are not always ed
vfsed of the coming OF naval vessels,

this port before. and there IS Compare
tive4y no risk IN bringing the big ship
over the bar. The pilots however,
are OF the opinion that when the ship
arrives off the bar, they will receive
a request TO take the ship over the
bar and take the big fighter 10 an

THREE VESSELS
COME, ONE WITH
KANT CARGO
THE RENTER COMES FOR PITCH,
THE GENERAL GORDON FOR
NAVAL STORES AND THE LuIsE
LEoNHARDT WITH CARGO.

Three steamships arrived up over
while the third one brough another
cargo of katnit, making the importa,-
ton Of that product beat all records
for single two month period. The
the one with this cargo. and was sent
up to quarantine upon arrival, but was
later in the afternoon released and
this morning at an early hour will be
locked at one Of the L. & \. wharves
for the discharge of the cargo. 1t was
stated unofficially that this steamer
will take cargo at this point.
The steamship General Gordon, a
British vessel. reached por, in the
afternoon, coming up from Pernam-
buco. The steame was taken to quar-
antine and later released. The General
Gordon was berthed at the east side of
Tarragon wharf, where a cargo. con-
sisting chiefly of naval stores, will be
loaded. The steamer is consigned to
the South Atlantic Steamship Com
pany. A deck load of timber will
probably be placed on this steamer.
The Belgian steamship Remier,
which also hailed from a South Amer
lean port, reached here yesterday. and
spent a few hours at quarantine sta
ton. The Renter comes for a cargo
of crude pitch for one port in France.
This is the second ship now here for
this kind of cargo, the other one being
the British steamship Cromwell, which
is already loading.
Sew eral steamships are looked for
this week, and it all gives promise of
making better things for those who
look to the bayfront for a means of
making a living. Three are three
steamships working cargo already in
the harbor.
