INSIGNIFICANT

WASHINGTON. April 1s-Congress will
assemble at noon tomorrow under cir
cumstances almost as feverish as those
which preceded the Spanish American
war. The President will probably de-
liver his address early in the afternoon.

the attitude OF refusal to salute. II was
said In an official quarter tonight that
" Huerta relaxed at the last moment the
Presidents address would probably be in
definitely postponed.
No definite plans have been made for
a joint session Of the two houses, but this
is matter of detail which can easily be
arranged as soon as the houses meet at
noon tomorrow. A brief announcement
from one of the Senators that the Presi-
dent is TO deliver an address in the Hall
OF Representatives. and a suggestion that
the Senate should attend will be sufii-
cent to meet the emergency and the two
houses can be brought into Joint session
within half hour after they assemble.
There appears to be little doubt OF
what the President will ask of Congress.

Huerta's refusal to make a proper amend

upon the national honor by Huerta' S

substantially by President Mckinley and
Congress responded by passing resolu-

Not since the days of the Spanish war have
there been such feverish excitement and
hustle among the clerks and officers In the
great gray building.
All night long the lights had been burn
ing in the operating room OF the State
Department, where a telegrapher had
kept vigil waiting for messages from
Mexico city. In the next room an expert
translator was ready 10 decipher any COM
municat!on that might reach the Depart
ment a sentence at a time and transmit
It by telephone to Secretary Bryan, who
had retired at his home with a telephone

In this communication OShauGhnessy
gave the details OF the delivery to Huerta
Of President Wilson's ultimatum and noti-
fed the State Department that Huerta
had shown signs of yielding. but would
impose new conditions. O'ShauShnessy
said that Huerta had raised the question
az to how the United States could expect
him to render a salute when Presiden,
Wilson had refused to recognize his Gov

White House over to the State Depart

Of the State Department. An expert
from the Department translated the CT
pher message line by line as 1t came
from the operators typewriter.
OShaughnessy began by telling Of
IN interview that he had at o'clock
in the afternoon, Mexican time, with
the Mexican Minister of Foreign AZ

waiting was great as they followed line
by line the translated despatch, with
out any indication OF what the final
answer was to be.
After about half an hour OF <his read

piecemeal a point was reached where
the American charge said that his con-
ference with the Foreign Minister lasted
until ) o'clock in the afternoon, Mexi-
can time. and that Minister Portillo had
informed him that Huerta had not yet
acceded to the American demands. This
left only an hour in which Huerta had
TO answer the Presidents ultimatum.
Secretary Daniels and MIR. Tumulty
had hardly recovered from the disap-
pointment when another message from
OShaughnessy began to come in over
the wire. This was O'Shaughnessy's re-
