views the whole situation as one of tho
greatest gravity to Mexico as IL whole.

not hesitate to plunge the whole country
into a foreign war when he feels his
power crumbling. thinking to save him
self by uniting the country against an
alien enemy.

was everywhere apparent that the de-
parture of the fleet for Mexico had
aroused patriotic fervor The Mexican
situation was the absorbing topic of
informal discussion In the cloak rooms
and corridors.
Secretary Daniels was highly pleased
with the prompt movement of the Atlantic
fleet which sailed to-day from Hampton
roads.
The secretary gave most of his atten-
ton to-day to the demonstration on the
Pacific coast. The sending OF the war
ships to the west coast Of Mexico was
decided upon at yesterdays cabinet meet

The members OF the Senate committee

recommended by the foundation without
the sacrifice of all State connection with
higher education Vermont ought not to
be the only State in the Union to do
nothing for boys and girls who want to
go beyond the high school.
Some form of scholarships should be
maintained. preferably assigned by
competitive examination, with the win

Vermont colleges. When the State is con-

The other members of the party were

by another Mexican officer who marched
them back to the dock, communicated
with his sUperurs, and released them
The ordering of the blucjackets from
the boat. which was flying the stars and
stripes, considered technically American
soil, was regarded by Rear Admiral
Mayo as requiring an apology, the pun
ishment OF the Mexican officer, and a
salute of twenty-onc guns to the colors
The first two demands We're compiled
with. but the local federal authorities
asked for an extension of time during
which they consulted the Huerta govern
ment at Mexico City. In the meantime
Rear Admiral Mayo notified Washington
OF his course and received the approval
of the government
General Huerta himself never agreed
TO any salute, but one of his under
secretaries did make inquiry Of the
American embassy whether n small
saltue to the Dolphin would be ac-
ceptable. This was rejected as insult
ficient under naval practice. The
time limit for the firing of the salute
was extended indefinitely by Rear Ad-
miral Mayo after communication with
Washington, during which time sharp
Representations were made to the HUI

HUERTA INFORMS CONGRESS.
General Huerta submitted to an ex-
ecutive session OF the Mexican Senate
to-day the demands OF the American gov
ernment for salute to tho flag No
answer has been received by the Wash
ington government late tonight Of the
result Of the deliberations.
Congress stands behind the administra-
ton almost to n man in the aggressive poll
ley to demand reparation for indignities
by the Huerta government In the Senate
and House to-day the opinion was general
that the President would be backed even
to actual warfare against Mexico to up
hold the sovereign dignity of the United
States.
VOYAGE is NOT A BLUFF.
Both administration and republican
leaders expressed the emuhatic view that
the United States is not sending the fleet
to Tampico as a "bluff' that II Is sending
it there to signalize the fact that at last
the patience of this government has been
exhausted and reparStion must be made,
or the already war-sca-red southern re-
public must suffer grave consequences
There are many who hold the view
that 1t Is not necessary for the Presi-
dent to ask Congress for authority to
land armed forces in Mexico to seize
ports, but even these anticipate that,
whatever the President and cabinet
determine upon, the Congress will be
informed thoroughly in a message
from the President and agree that the
purposes set forth in such a message
would be ungrudgingly endorsed
