IRY Gable 70 The Tribune. ]

Mexico City, April 1S.-It was appar-
ent here to-day that General Huerta
and his advisers were seeking the
counsel of other nations through their
representatives in this city before re-
plying to the note from President Will
son givin. him until o'clock to-mor-
row night in the matter of the salute
TO the American flag.
Two long conferences of undoubtedly
that nature are known to have been
held in the Ministry Of Foreign Affairs,
where Senior Portillo received both the
British and the French charges daft
faires to-day.
Thomas Beaumont Hohler. the Brit
ish charge, was the first to be closeted
with Sefior Portillo, and he had no
sooner taken his departure than his
French confrere, Count Victor Aygue-
SPARSE. appeared. Guarded express
sions were made that the situation, or
difficulty would be composed to the sat
isfaction of all concerned, but the for
eign representatives were careful to
state that they could not be eXpectt d
TO express an opinion regarding the is
sue at stake, since their countries were
not parties to the dispute.
1t is held in well informed circles
that representations were made 10
General Huerta through the Minister
of Foreign Affairs that Europe did not
look with favor on any holding out
against the American demands. which,
IT is said, we're described as entirely
within the usage and practice OF all
nations
The Austrian Minister Baron Kolo-
man KAMA de Kanya, called at the
Foreign Office late to-day and con-
ferred with the Sub-Secretary Senior
Esteva Ruiz. who told the Tribune
correspondent tonight that he had
nothing 10 give out.
There is deep interest among all
classes in the situation. coupled with
a well defined belief that war will not
result. The papers have been instru-
mental In creating the belief, many Of
them arguing that such an outcome as
war Is inconceivable.

Tuesday.
DICTATOR'S ANSWER
is ON THE WAY
Huerta'S Renewed Insistence on a
simultaneous Salute" Led
TO Ultimatum.
From The Tribune Bureau J

Washington, April 18.-The Mex
lean situation has passed the argu.
mentative stage. President Wilson
says he has sent his final word to
Huerta. Huerta must comply with
American demands or President Will
son will 60 to Congress on Monday
and ask authority for taking "prac-
tical measures" to obtain reparation
for an unrequited insult to the Ameri-
can flag.
II Huerta fails to promise by
o'clock tomorrow night to comply
with American demands that a salute
be fired to the American flag at Tam
pico, President Wilson will say to
Congress that he intends to take dras-
tic action.
The action will consist of the seiz-
ure of Tampico and probably OF Vera
Cruz. 1t will also mark a forward
movement which will end with the
elimination of Victoriano Huerta and
an adjustment of the whole Mexican
situation.
If the President finds it necessary
to appeal TO Congress he will find
both houses squsrely behind him.
without the slightest indication OF
partisanship. If he asks a resolution
of Endorsement or encouragement il
will be passed expeditiously and prac-
tically without division.
Word that a message was on it's way
from Mexico City to the state Depart
ment here was received by Secretary
Bryan shortly before midnight. Secre-
tary Bryan had no 'ntimation of the
contents of the message, but kept state
Department officials on duty during the
night TO receive and decpher IT, Presi-
dent Wilson will receive il upon his ar
rival at White Sulphur Springs to-
morrow morning.
President W..son's latest messaxs Ia
Huerta went 10 Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
the American Charge d'Affaires in
Mexico City, about l o'clock to-day. It
is described as an ultimatum. There
have been numerous messages to
Huerta which have been called utl-
matums and which proved 10 be some.

this is the real thing.

President Wilson's Statement.

This statement, officially issued at the
White House, demonstrates that this
is so:
General Huerta is still insisting
upon doing something less than
has been demanded, and something
less than would constitute an sc-
acknowledgement that his represen-
tatives were entirely in the wrong
in the indisnities they have put
upon the government Of the United
States. The President has deter.
mined that IL General Huerta does
not yield by o'clock Sunday after
noon he will take tho matter TO
Congress on Monday"
While this statement was undoubt-
edly intended TO be thoroughly explicit
and clear, question as TO its exact
meaning Immediately arose. Some
thought that the word yield meant
yield to the original American demand

The Terrible Slaughter of
Birds Increases Every
Year.

The resolutions OF the confer
ence concern the protection OF all
kinds of wild life, including plants
as well s animals, and savage
races of men are not excluded
from its sympathetic good will.
But particular effort was
made to throw a shield over the
birds. How necessary such pro-
lection has become is indicated
by the terrible slaughter of all
winged creatures that goes on
every year WITH increasing reck-
lessness. ! am writing this from
rance where the "chasse"-that
is, the hunting season-hss been
just closed by Law, only to re-
open next year.
Now. according to my observa-
tions, the "chasse" usually means
little else than bird killing.
Bears. deer and wild rabbits still
exist in certain large forest tracts
and on private estates kept out
of cultivation for the sake of fur
nishing sport TO their proprietors
and their fashionable friends, but

citizen, who in imitation OF the
MOBILES puts on his shining
leather hunting coat, his yellow
leather leggings and his glazed
hunting cap, and jauntily tucks
his double barreIed gun under his
arm, to the gaping admiration Of
his less prosperous, but more use
fully occupied neIghbors, seldom
finds anything to exercise his
craftsmanship upon other than
the birds of the fields and hedges.

for these bold hunters.
Night and morning, during the
