matte side Of the situation, and dis
patches from Rear Admiral Mayo.
Indicating the exact ships which
will accompany Admiral Badger, the
navy department issued the follow
ing:
Seven BattIeships Sure.
admiral Badger will take with
him the battleships Arkansas, Louis
lana, New Hampshire, Michigan, Yer
mont, New Jersey and South Carolina
which last ship has been intercepted
on her way from Haiti to Hampton
Roads.
The gunboat Tacoma now at Bos.
ton, Mass, has been ordered to Tam
pico by way of Newport, r. l.. The
gunboat Nashville, now at Monte
Christi, San Domingo, has been or
dered to Guantanamo to coal and
thence to Tampico.
The Rhode Island, Virginia and
Georgia are now docking: it had not
been decided yet whether they will
join Admiral Badgers forces.
1.-The transport Hancock left New
Orleans for Tampico, last Tuesday
with the first regiment Of the expedi-
tionary force of marines"
The foregoing ships are in addition
to the Utah, Connecticut, Minnesota,
Des Moines, Chester, Dolphin and San
Francisco at Tampico and the Florida
and Prairie at Vera Cruz.
The torpedo boat flotilla at Pensa-
cola, Florida, has been ordered to
stand by for orders.
The status of the case as summed
up by cabinet officers and other Off
cials was described as follows:
Assistant Paymaster Charles c.
Copp and a boatload of jackies landed
at Tampico, last Thursday to obtain
supplies. They were arrested, but
later discharged. In accordance with
regulations in all navies of the world
Rear Admiral Mayo, on considering
that an unwarranted arrest had been
made, and that the uniform Of the
American navy had been disregarded,
demanded reparation in the form of a
salute Of 81 guns.
1.-The American flag, while not taken
ashore, was flying at the stern of the
whale boat and all the marines were
in uniform. Rear Admiral Mayo al
lowed the Huerta commander until 6
o'clock that evening to fire a salute.
but later extended the time to afford
the local commander an opportunity
to communicate with his superior Of
ficers in Mexico City.
"A statement of apology was issued
in Mexico City by General Huerta,
and the officer who arrested the ma
rines was ordered punished. This did
not satisfy the United States govern
ment and the salute was insisted on.
General Huerta himself at no time
agreed to comply. but an under Sec
retary in the Mexican foreign office
did inquire of Charge O'Shaughnessy
if a salute fired to the gunboat Dol
phin and responded to by the Ameri-
can ship would be acceptable. This
was emphatically rejected by the
United States, and word was sent that
nothing short of a public salute to the
American flag would be satisfactory

MEXICAN SITUATION SERIOUS
Huerta Must Salute or Take Conse'
uuences.

Huerta Must Salute or Take Conse-
quences.
President Wilson on Tuesday or
dered virtually the entire Atlantic
fleet to Mexican waters to force pub
lie salute to the Stars and Stripes
from the Huerta government as an
apology for the arrest of American
bluejackets at Tampico, last Thurs
day.
No ultimatum has been issued, that
is, no specified time has ben set with
in which the Huerta government must
comply but the naval demonstration
has been ordered as a concrete evil
dence of the determination of the
United States to back up Admiral
Mayo's demand for a salute. Up to
tonight General Huerta had not made
satisfactory response to that demand.
Future developments depend on
Huerta himself" was the way nigh
administration official close to the
president summarized the situation.
The decision to send the fleet was
reached after the president and Sec
retary Bryan had conferred for an
hour with John Lind, personal repre-
sentative of the president in Mexico,
and after a two hours cabinet meet
ing, during which dispatches from
Charge O'Shaughnessy revealed that
the Huerta government disputed the
right of American bluejackets to be
ashore at Tampico, and contended
that its recent public statement OF
apology was ample.
Immediately after the cabinet meet
ing adjourned, Secretary Daniels is
sued his order to the Atlantic fleet and
wireless messages flashed up and
down the Atlantic coast to put the
fleet under steam for Tampico.
1t will be the largest fighting force
the American government has assem-
bled for possible action since the
Spanish American war. Eleven great
battleships, with auxiliaries, carrying
about $1,000 men. will comprise the
force off Tampico.
Everywhere, at the White House,
the state department and the navy
department, the hope was expressed
that the dispatch of the fleet would
not lead to serious consequences and
there was a confident prediction among
administration officials that Huerta
would satisfy the American demand
and close the incident. Officials were
careful to point out that negotiations
with the Huerta government had not
ended and that the way was still open
to Gen. Huerta to make amends.
Meanwhile the navy department
sent complete instructions to Rear
Admiral Badger, commander-in-chief
of the Atlantic fleet, on board the bat
tleship Arkansas at Hampton Roads.
Rear Admiral Fiske, chief of the bu-
reau of operations left here for the
Roads, Tuesday night to convey per-
sonally to Admiral Badger the diplo-

brotherhood Of man is possible. He
