MEXICO HAS YIELDED
ALL THAT 1T CAN
Declared Mexican Foreign Minister-He
Says American Flag Was Not Insult
ed-Appeals to American "Fair-
Mindedness."

Mexico City, April 20.--The Mexican
foreign minister Senor Portilloy Rojas
announced last night that it would be
impossible to agree to the demand OF
the United States that the flag OF that
country be Internationally saluted, be-
cause the flag was not insulted, because
it was not flying from the launch and
because the marines were set free even
before an investigation, and the officer
responsible for the arrests was himself
arrested and held for trial
The foreign minister further announced
that the Mexican government would
agree that both flags be saluted, the
American flag first and then the Mexi-
can, this arrangement 10 be made by
a protocol signed by the American
charge d'affaires, Nelson 0'Shaughnessy,
and the Mexican foreign minister.
The United States government, Senior
Portillo declared, had refused permission
to Charge O'Shaughnessy to sign such
a protocol and demanded an uncondition-
al salute by Mexico, which Mexico felt
was incompatible with her dignity.
In conclusion, the foreign minister
said:
"Mexice has yielded as much as her
dignity will permit. Mexico trusts to
the -mindedness and spirit OF justice
of the American people"
