"In the belief that General Huerta
would on consideration accede to the
most reasonable demands Of Admiral
Mayo, time has been given him. From
ytur telegram 1t would seem that this
governments forbearance has been
misinterpreted. Under all the circum-
stances, the request for Simultaneous

makes 1t impossible for this govern

You are instructed to inform Gen.

whether In case General Huerta ac-
ceded to the demand protocol would
be signed providing for return OF
the salute. The following dispatch
was sent to Charge O'Shnughnessy in
substance:
President Wilson Is out Of the
city. Impossible to reach him before
q. m. tomorrow. Am certain he
would not consent to have you sign
the protocol mentioned In your tele-
gram. The salute should be fired
without any agreement as to the re-
turn of the salute. The United States
of America can be relied upon, &C.
cording to International custom and
courtesy, to do it's duty. The signing
of the protocol would be objection
able, in addition to other reasons. be-
cause Of the fact that 1t might be con.
strued as recognition of the Huerta
government. whereas the President
has no intention Of recognizing that
government"

Mexico City. April 20.-The Mexican
foreign minister. Sefor Portillo Ro-

impossible to agree to the demand Of
the United States that the flag be un-

the marines were set free even before

sponsible for the arrests was himself

repeated most emphatically his objec-
don to any protocol or agreement He
insists that the salute shall not be
fired as a matter Of contract or with
any stipulation that It be returned by

ogy for the insult offered.
General Huerta must trust that
the United States viii live up to the
requirements OF International courtesy
in returning his salute when 1t shall
have been fired. The proposed pro-
tocol is especially Objectionable. for It
might construe 1t as recognizing his
government, whereas the President
has informed General Huerta and the
foreign governments that General
Huerta's government will not be recog-
mixed.
General Huerta,s acceptance Of
the demand Of Admiral Mayo must be
unconditional; the details can be ar
ranged directly with Admiral Mayo
after General Huerta announces that he
will comply with that demand. Make
1t clear to General Huerta that further
negotiations are unnecessary. 1t is ex-
pected that he will accept at once in

President Wilson and the administra-
ton on Mexico:
"In discussions in oficial circles in
Washington Of the present Mexican
situation the following points have
been very much dwelt upon:
1T 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
Eies 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 1t either reparation
or the effective correction Of the seri-
GUS derelictions of Its civil and mill
tary officers. 54

who had the ofIlcial mail bag on his
back, was arrested and put into Jail
by the local authorities. He was sub
sequently released and nominal pun
ishment was inflicted upon the oficer
who arrested him, but It was signifi-
cant that an orderly from the feet Of
the United States was picked out

incidents such as these have not oc-

tives of other governments were con.
cerned. but only in dealings with rep.
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

the impression that the government
