Iona Series Of Insults.

unfortunately, II was not an iso-
lated case. A series Of incidents nave
recently occurred which cannot but
create the impression that the repre-
sentatives Of General Huerta were
willing TO go out Of their way TO show
disregard for the dignity and rights OF
this government. and felt perfectly sale
in doing what they pleased, making
free to show in many ways their irri-
tation and contempt.
A few days after the incident at
Tampico an orderly from the United
States steamship Minnesota was ar
rested at Vera Cruz while ashore IN
uniform to obtain the ships mail, and
was for a time thrown into Jail. An
official dispatch from this government

Without thinking. without care. we
propose 10 adopt this resolution which is.
in effect. a declaration Of war said Mr..
Mann. In a speech which was indicative
of the general attitude of the opponents
OF the measure.
1T Is more than n declaration OF war
II means that the United States has be-
come the ally OF the murderous crew in
Northern Mexico, which is guilty Of the
murder OF men and tho outraging OF
women.
IT am not willing to declare war
against Huerta just because tho Presi-
dent does not like him." eeid Mr.. Mann
amid Jeers from tho Democratic side.
THAT IS the real reason for this resolu-
ton" he continued. II am not to be
deferred from the position take by
sighting remarks or laughter, because
believe we owe 10 the American flag a
higher duty than demanding a salute
from Huerta We owe to the American
flag that II shall stand for right and JUS
tice IN all the world.
"Huerta has been President OF the
Mexican republic for more than a year
| do not condone the method by which
he secured that position, nor am willing
to declare war against him because OF
the Presidents dislike for him"
Would you support a resolution to
recognize the Huerta government" asked

Two Of the men were in the boat
when the arrest took place and were
obliged TO leave Il and submit 10 be
taken into custody, Notwithstanding
the fact that the boat carried, both at
her bow and at her stern, the flag of
the United States. The officer who
made the arrest was proceeding up one
Of the streets Of the town with his
prisoners when met by an officer OF
higher authority, who ordered him to
return to the landing and await orders,
and within an hour and half from the
time OF the arrest orders were received
from the commander Of the Huertista
forces at Tampico for the release Of the
paymaster and his men.
THE release was followed by apollo
gtes from the commander, and later by
an expression Of regret BY General
Huerta himself General Huerta
urged that martial law obtained at the
time at Tampico: that orders had been
issued that no one should be allowed TO
land at the Iturbide bridge and that
our sailors had no right to land there.
Our naval commanders at the port
had not been notified OF any such pro-
hibition, and, even II they had been, the
only 1ustiiable course open TO the local
authorities would have been to request
the paymaster and his crew TO with
draw and TO lodge a protest with the
commanding officer Of the fleet.
Admiral Mayo regarded the arrest
az so serious an affront that he was nor
satisfied with the apologies offered, but
demanded that the flag Of the United
states be saluted with special cere-
mony by the military commander OF
the port.
The incident cannot be regarded az
trivial one. especially as two Of the
men arrested were tal:en from the boat
itself-that is to say, from the terri
tory Of the United States; but had IT
stood by itself It might have been at
tributed to the ignorance or arrogance
Of a single officer.
