Through the efforts OF those in
charge, a rebate was given on the
shortage, which gave sum for use
this year. 1t is believed by the
mayor that, in event a subscription
list is again started this year, there
will be at least $500 contributors of
81 each, with others donating larger
amounts, as there were last year.
If a safe and sane celebration is
agreed upon at the meeting planned,
working committees will be appoint
ed at once and active work will be
started for carrying out the celebra-
tion. The formation of programs will
be left with those in charge, so none
of the officials are in a position to
state at this time as to what the
events will be. Fireworks displays
are to be features, it is stated. 1t
is believed there will be attractive
water events and special attractions

clearly indicated the presidents inten.
ton TO blockade Mexican ports on the
east coast. 1t was originally intended
that all Of the destroyers comprising
the third, fourth and fifth divisions of
the flotilla should be sent, but the
Mayrant Of the third division was pre-
vented from leaving owing to injuries
to her engines, which cannot be re
paired for several days.
The long. low torpedo destroy ers are
able to make twice the speed of a bat
tleship and can 90 many knots faster
than the swiftest scout cruiser in the
navy. They are therefore superior in
many ways for blockading purposes
The fotilla probably will be distrib
uted along the Mexican coast if the
blockade is ordered with view TO
darting from port to port as their serv-
ices may be needed

The president hoped that this gov
ernment would in no circumstances
be forced into war with the repre-
sentative people of Mexico He said
General Huerta had set up his pow
er in the city of Mexico v ithout right
or justification. 'If armed con-
itict should unhappily come" said the
president, "as the result of his at
titude of personal resent towards
this government, we should be fight
ing only General Huerta and those
who adhere to him and give Vim
their support, and our object will be
only to restore to the people of the
republic the opportunity to set up
again their own laws and govern
ment. Our feeling for the people of
Mexico is one of deep and genuine
friendship"

In a matter of such great consequent
ces except In close confidence and CO.
operation with both the senate and
the house. |, therefore, come to ask
your approval that | should use the
armed forces of the United States, in
such ways as may be necessary to
obtain from General Huerta and his
adherents the fullest recognition of
the rights and dignity of the United
States. Even amidst the distressing
conditions now unhappily obtaining
in Mexico. Thereupon, in what we
do be no sort of a glutton or selfish
agglandisement. We seek to main
tain the dignity and authority of the
United States because we wish al
ways to keep our great influence un-
impaired for the uses of liberty, both
in the United States and wherever
else 1t may be applied for the bene-
fit of mankind"

Refusal by Wireless.
The news or Huertas refusal was
flashed by wireless to Admiral Badger,
commanding the Atlantic feet, now
hurrying toward Mexico, and to the
commanders of the American war YES
sells already In Mexican waters. They
will not, however. make any definite
move against Mexico until they re
cetye congress action. With the pas
sage of the joint resolution by the leg
islative branch orders went forth for
immediate action. The ports Of Tam
pico and Vera Cruz will be the first to
be seized
Railroad communication to Mexico
City will be interrupted, and an effort
will be made to starve Huerta into
submission through cutting off his Gus
toms receipts and his supplies of am
munition.
Huerta's defiance came after hours
Of haggling by him. 1t came after
President Wilson had again served no.
tice in the most emphatic terms that
his demand for salute was uncondl-
tional The exact words of the mes
sage which the president sent to Sec
retary Bryan from White Sulphur
Springs and which ended all hope on
the part of Huerta for modification
of this governments ultimatum were
these:
Tell O'shaughnessy our terms are un-
conditional in every detail.
WOODROW WILSON.
The vigorous telegram from the pres
ident was caused by an eleventh hour
demand on the part Of Huerta that
the United States, through Charge
'Shaughncssy in Mexico City, should
enter into formal protocol giving him
assurance that this government would
fire return salute to the Mexican sa-
late of apology. President Wilson in
formed Huerta chat the United States
would not give him q single assurance
beyond the statement contained In Ad-
miral Mayos original demand on the
Mexican general, which stipulated that
an American war vessel would return
the Mexican salute.
Congress assembled at noon today
under circumstances almost as fever
ish as those which preceded the Span
ish-American war. The presidents ad-
dress is momentarily expected unless
General Huerta should recede from the
attitude of refusal to salute. 1t was
said in an official quarter that If
Huerta relaxed at the last moment the
presidents address would probably be
indefinitely postponed. SO eager is the
administrat ton and the congress lead
ers to avoid q conflict that they will
not draw the lines closely and insist
upon strict compliance within the time
limit fixed in tine uitimatum.

Mrs. Glockler took the stand

that Anderson had visited her
many times at her home when her
husband was attending his bust
ness. She said that he had re-
peatedly professed his love for
her, telling her on one occasion
that he. was Just crazy about
her." On the occasion of the last

her--positively never. She says
that I asked her to get a divorce

II has also been said that l asked
her to 'jilt' her husband and live
with me. That Is infinitely worse,

said it."
