TEXT OF ULT|MATUM CALLS HUERTRS
'....... !. PRESENT STAND UTTERLY UNjUSTIF|ED
President Repeats the Warning That All Americans in Mexico
Should Take the Precauton Of Leaving -Notce
to Foreign Countries

Washington. Here is the text of
the ultimatum sent by this Govern.
ment to Huerta:
Say to Gen. Huerta in reply to
yours of April II that the President
of the United States feels great dis
appointment at his failure to make
prompt and willing PREPARATION for in
suit which was offered American
sailors at Tampico, the offence being
still further aggravated by subsequent
arrest of a mail carrier of the United
States at Vera Cruz.
In: the belief that Gen. Huerta
would on consideration accede to the
most reasonable demand of Admiral
Mayo, time has been given him. From
your telegram it would seem that this
Governments forbearance has been
misinterpreted.
under all the circumstances, the
request for a simultaneous salute is
as. .unjustiflable as is the arrest of
American sailors and this makes it
irnppssible for this Government to
consider further delay.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1914-04-24

you are instructed to inform Gen.
Huerta that unless he announces his
intention to comply with Admiral
Mayo's demand by 6 o'clock p. M.
Sunday, April 10. the President will
lay the matter before Congress on
Monday with a view to taking such
action to enforce the respect due our
nations flag as may be necessary.
Gen. Huerta can arrange details
of salute with Admiral Mayo If he
reconsiders the position taken by him.
Should he adhere to the position he has
taken you will make Abe contents Of
this telegram known to the repre-
sentatives Of foreign Governments at
once and send paraphrase of the
telegram to all consulates of America
stationed in Mexico so that it may
be communicated to American citizens,
who should at the same time be re-
minded Of the Presidents advice to
withdraw from Mexico until order is

STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT

Following is the official statement Is
sued as representing the views of
President Wilson and the administra-
ton on Mexico:
In discussions in official circles in
Washington of the present Mexican
situation the following points have
been very much dwelt upon:
ut has been pointed out that, In
considering the present somewhat
delicate situation in Mexico, the un-
pleasant incident at Tampico must not
be thought Of alone. For some time
past the de facto government of Mex
leo has seemed to think mere apollo
gies sufficient when the rights of
American citizens or the dignity of
the government of the United States
were involved and has apparently
made no attempt at either PREPARATION
or the effective correction OF the seri-
Gus derelictions of its civil and mill
tary officers.
Orderly Placed In jail.
Immediately after the incident at
Tampico an orderly from one Of the
ships of the United States in the har-
Dor of Vera Cruz, who had been sent
ashore to the post Office for the ships
mail, and who was in uniform and
who had the Official mail bag on his
back, was arrested and put into Jail
by the local authorities. He was sub
seQuently released and nominal pun
lshment was inflicted upon the officer
who arrested him, but it was signifi-
cant that an orderly from the feet Of
the United States was picked out
from the many persons constantly go
ing shore on various errands. from
the various ships in the harbor, rep
resenting several nations.
ofFiclal Dispatch Withheld.
Most serious Of all, the officials in
charge Of the telegraph once at Mex
leo City presumed to withhold an off,
cial dispatch of the government of the
United States to its embassy at Mex
leo City, until 1t should have been
sent to the censor and his permission
received to deliver it. and gave the
dispatch into the hands Of the charge
d'affaires of the United States only
upon his personal and emphatic de-
mand, he having in the meantime
learned through other channels that
q dispatch had been sent him which
he had not received.

Washington. - General Victoriana
Huerta, provisional President Of Mex
lea, fatty refused Sunday to accede to
the unconditional demands Of the
United States that he salute the
American flag, and Congress will be
asked by President Wilson Monday for
authority to use armed force to uphold
the honor and dignity of the nation.
Negotiations with Huerta over the
demand for salute in PREPARATION for
the arrest of American bluejackets at
Tampfco on April 10 came to close
Sunday at s o'clock, the last hour
given by President Wilson for a favor
able response from the Mexican dicta-
tor. The final word of Huerta to
Charge O'Shaughnessy was a refusal
to comply unless the United States
would guarantee in writing that his
salute be returned.
President Wilson at midnight was
on his way to Washington from White
Sulphur Springs, w. Va, preparing to
read a message to Congress in joint
session as early as it can be arranged
Monday In the meantime American
war fleets were moving down both
coasts on their way to Mexican waters
to carry out the Presidents plan for
reprisals.
No Formal Declaration OF War.
The crisis thus reached does not
mean that there would be formal
declaration of war, because the United
States could not declare war against a
government which it does not rec
ognize. President Wilson will seek
authority, however, to send all the
armed forces into Mexico to seize first
the ports of Tampico and Vera Cruz
and the railroad trestle leading from
Vera Cruz toward Mexico City.
The President directed that a Cab
met meeting be called for 1890 o'clock
tomorrow, when the final arrange
ments for a pacific blockade of Next
can ports and other steps in the Presi-
dents program will be deliberated.

incidents such as these have not oc-
CURED in any case where representa-
tives Of other governments were con-
cerned, but only In dealings with rep
resentatives Of the United States, and
that there has been NO occasion for
other governments to call attention to
such matters or to ask for apologies.
These repeated offenses against
the rights and dignity of the United
States. offenses not duplicated with
regard to the representatives of other
governments, have necessarily made
the impression that the government
Of the United States was singled out
for manifestations Of i'll will and con-
tempt"
Many Preeedents for Action.
The president feels that he has am
pie authority for the preparatory meas
ures he has adopted.
President Mckinley went so far as
to send an expedition to Picking dur
ing the Boxer revolt.
In 1851 the United States sloop Of
war Dale visited the island of johann
ma and under threat Of bombarding the
town obtained $1,000 as a measure of
redress for the unlawful imprison-
ment of the captain Of an American
whaler.
In 1863 the Pembroke, a small Amer.
lean steamer. was fred upon by Jap
anese shore batteries. The American
minister demanded redress for the in
suit to the American flag, and the
commander of the United States war
ship Wyoming opened FIRE on the re-
sponsible Japanese authorities. z
Example Set by Seward.
Secretary Of State Seward In an Of
ficial note made the following state
ment, apropos of this incident:
When the injury involves also an
insult to the flag OF the United States
the demand for satisfaction must be
imperative. and the United States
naval force at Japan may not only be
used to protect the legation and any Of
the citizens Of the United States there
resident but the Tycoon is to be In
formed that the United States will
as they shall find occasion, send addi-
tional forces to maintain the forego-
ing demands"
What President Wilson is doing Is
In line with the recorded precedents.
He has demonstrated and satisfaction
has been refused. He Is about to
make naval demonstration As JEFF
ferson said, ouch an act SIS considered
an act of war and never failed to pro-
duce It in the case Of q nation able to
make war"
