Salute Impossible, Says Minister.

Mexico City, April 20.-The Mexican
foreign minister, Senior Portillo y Ro-
las. announced last night it would be
impossible to agree to the demand OF
the United States that the flag be un-
conditionally saluted, because that
flag was not insulted, as it was not
flying from the launch and because
the marines we're set free even before
an investigation, and the officer re-
sponsible for the arrests was himself
arrested and held for trial.
The foreign minister announced the
Mexican government would agree that
both flags be saluted, the American
flag first and then the Mexican flag,
this arrangement to be made pro-
tocol signed by American Charge
d'Affaires Nelson O'Shaughnessy and
the Mexican foreign minister.
The United States government, Se-
nor Portillo asserted. had refused per-
mission to Charge O'Shaughnessy to
sign such protocol and demanded an
unconditional salute by Mexico which
Mexico felt was incompatible with her
dignity.
In conclusion the foreign minister
said: Mexico has yielded as much as
her dignity will permit. Mexico trusts
to the fair-mindedncss and spirit OF
Justice OF the American people"

sion of any kind in detail or otherwise
be made
81 talked with the President over
the telephone when your telegram of
II p. m. of last night, was received. to
the effect that General Huerta had
acceded to the demand, but only on
condition that you sign protocol. He
repeated most emphatically his objec--
tion to any protocol or agreement. He
insists that the salute shall not be
fired as a matter of contract or with
any stipulation that it be returned by
us. 1t must be fired in accordance
with international custom as an apol-
ogy for the insult offered.
General Huerta must trust that
the United States will live up to the
requirements Of international courtesy
in returning his salute when it shall
have been fired. The proposed pro-
tocol is especially Objectionable, for it
is so phrased that General Huerta
might construe it as recognizing his
government, whereas the President
has informed General Huerta and the
foreign governments that General
Huerta's government will not be recog-
niZed.
General Huerta's acceptance of
the demand of Admiral Mayo must be
unconditional; the details can be ar
ranged directly with Admiral Mayo
after General Huerta announces that he
will comply with that demand. Make
1t clear to General Huerta that further
negotiations are unnecessary. 1t is ex-
pected that he will accept at once in
order that the incident shall be closed.
AT . O'Clock telegram was re-
ceived from Charge O'Shaughnessy,
but 1t was not conclusive and stated
that he would call at the foreign Of
flee at 6 O'Clock for final answer. At
10 O'Clock a telegram, of which the
following is the substance. was re
ceived from Charge O'Shaughnessy
conveying General Huerta's final re-
fusal. and this was communicated to
the President Immediately by tele-
phone, and he directed that Cabinet

to act according to the terms of the
protocol which have transmitted to
you. l Informed him that so far as
this embassy is concerned the ques-
tion is closed and that l should i'm

General Huerta had definitely refused
the demands of the government Of the
United States. A translation of the
note will be cabled later
The White House later made public
a paraphrase of Secretary Bryan's
telegram to Charge O'Shaughnessy
yesterday shortly after noon. directing
the deliverance of President Wilson'S
ultimatum. 1t follows:
Say to General Huerta in reply to
yours of April II that the President
of the United States feels great disap-
pointment at your failure to make
prompt and willing reparation for the
insult which was offered American
sailors at Tampico. the offense being
still further aggravated by the subse.
quent arrest of mail carrier Of the
United States at Vera Cruz.
'Ir the belief that General Huerta
would on consideration accede to the
most reasonable demands of Admiral
Mayo. time has been given him. From
your telegram 1t would seem that this
governments forbearance has been
misinterpreted. Under all the circum-
stances, the request for simultaneous
salute is as uniustifiable as is the ar
rest of American sailors, and this
makes 1t impossible for this govern
ment to consider further delay.
"You are instructed to inform Gen,
eral Huerta that unless he announces
his intention to comply with Admiral
Mayo's demand by Z o'clock p. m,
Sunday. April 10, the President will
lay the matter before Congress on
Monday with view of taking such
action to enforce the respect due our

STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT

Following is the official statement is-
sued as representing the views Of
President Wilson and the administra-
ton on Mexico:
In discussions in official circles in
Washington of the present Mexican
situation the following points have
been very much dwelt upon:
TT has been pointed out that. in
considering the present somewhat
delicate situation in Mexico, the un-
pleasant incident at Tampico must not
be thought of alone. For some time
past the de facto government of Mex
leo has seemed to think mere apollo
gies sufficient when the rights of
American citizens or the dignity of
the government of the United States
were involved and has apparently
made no attempt at either reparation
or the effective correction of the seri-
GUS derelictions of its civil and mill
tary officers.
Orderly PIaesd In jail.
Immediately after the incident at
Tampico an orderly from one of the
ships of the United States in the har-
ashore to the post office for the ships
mail, and who was in uniform and
who had the official mail bag on his
back, was arrested and put into jail
by the local authorities. He was sub
sequently released and a nominal pun
ishment was inflicted upon the officer
who arrested him, but 1t was signifi-
cant that an orderly from the fleet Of
the United States was picked out
from the many persons constantly go
ing shore on various errands, from
the various ships In the harbor, rep
resenting several nations.
officIaI Dispatch Withheld.
Most serious of all, the officials in
charge of the telegraph office at Mex
leo City presumed to withhold an off,
cial dispatch of the government of the
United States to its embassy at Mex
leo City, until 1t should have been
sent to the censor and his permission
received to deliver 1t, and gave the
dispatch into the hands of the charge
d'affaires of the United States only
upon his personal and emphatic de-
mand, he having in the meantime
learned through other channels that
q dispatch had been sent him which
he had not received.
United States Singled Out

foreign minister and was being carried
by him to General Huerta. The for
eign minister asked O'Shaughnessy
whether in case General Huerta ac-
ceded to the demand a protocol would
be signed providing for a return OF
the salute. The following dispatch
was sent to Charge O'Shaughnessy in
substance:
President Wilson is out of the
city Impossible to reach him before
s a, m. tomorrow. Am certain he
would not consent to have you sign
the protocol mentioned in your tele-
gram. The salute should be fired
without any agreement as to the re-
turn of the salute. The United States
of America can be relied upon, ac
cording to international custom and
courtesy, to do its duty. The signing
of the protocol would be objection
able, in addition to other reasons. be-
cause of the fact that it might be con-
strued as recognition of the Huerta
government, whereas the President
has no intention of recognizing that
government.
EARLY this morning a dispatch was
received from Charge O'Shaughnessy
saying that General Huerta was will
ing 20 accede to the demand of Ad-
miral Mayo providing protocol was
signed. and setting forth copy of the
proposed protocol. Charge O'Shaugh-
messy asked whether he was author
lied to sign it. l communicated with
President by telephone and at his di-
rection sent telegram to Mr..
O'Shaughnessy, Of which the following
is a paraphrase:
"'Copy of your telegram of s p. m.
last night was sent to the President
with copy of my reply to the effect
that protocol would be Objectionable.
The President replied:
"'Your reply to O'Shaughnessy is
exactly what / should have wished it
to be. In no case should any conces-

incidents such as these have noe oc-

tives of other governments were con-
cerned. but only In dealings with rep
resentatives OF the United States. ana
that there has been no occasion for
other governments to call attention to
such matters or to ask for apologies.
These repeated offenses against
the rights and dignity of the United
States, offenses not duplicated with
regard to the representatives of other
governments, have necessarily made
the impression that the government
Of the United States was singled out
for Manifestations o4 i'll will and con-
tempt"
Many Freeedents for Action.
The president feels that he has am
pie authority for the preparatory meas
ures he has adopted.
President Mckinley went SO far as
to send an expedition to Picking dur
ing the Boxer revolt.
In 1851 the United States sloop of
war Dale visited the island of Johan-
ma and under threat of bombarding the
town obtained $1,000 as a measure of
redress for the unlawful imprison-
ment of the captain of an American
whaler.
In 1868 the Pembroke. a small Amer
lean steamer. was fired upon by jap
anese shore batteries. The American
minister demanded redress for the in
suit to the American flag. and the
commander of the United States war
ship Wyoming opened fire on the re-
sponsible Japanese authorities.
Example Set by Seward.
Secretary of State Seward in ar.. of.
fcial note made the following d be-
ment. apropos of this Incident:
When the injury involves also an
insult to the flag OF the United States
the demand for satisfaction must be
imperative. and the United States
naval force at Japan may not only be
used to protect the legation and any of
the citizens of the United States there
resident but the Tycoon is to be in
/ formed that the United States will
as they shall find occasion, send eddi-
tional forces to maintain the forego-
ing demands
What President Wilson is doing is
in line with the recorded precedents.
He has demonstrated and satisfaction
has been refused. He is about to
make naval demonstration. AS JEFF
ferson said. such an act "is considered
an act OF war and never failed 70 pro-
duce It In the case OF a nation able to
