WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, ".
Va, April 19.-7:30 p. m.-The hour
on which HIS ultimatum to President
Huerta expired found President Will
son quietly dining in his apartments
In the 0reenbrier hotel. He had not
received any word from Secretary
Bryan since q telephone message
about o'clock this afternoon. The
president spent the day quietly. max
ing the most Of his rent preparatory
to assuming charge Of the united
service as commander In chief of the
army and navy. His address to con-
gress, detailing events eliminating In
tie present crisis and asking recon-
for future action was al
most completed The president had
worked away. with paper and pencil
at odd moments during the day. He
wired Charles Swim. his confidential
stenographer at the white house, to
be on hand tomorrow morning At 8
o'clock to be ready to transcribe this
rough draft. While the president pre-
served q calm exterior. he had made
all preparations to rush to Washing
ton in case OF extraordinary emery
ency. An engine with steam up stood
hooked to his private car on the side
track. It was pointed toward Wash.
ington. The president hoped, how.
ever, not to be forced to leave until
the regular train at IL p. m. He
planned to leave the hotel at 10 p.
m. and board his car. Arrangements
had been made to keep in touch with
Washington both up to the time he
left and while he was enroute to
Washington.

fired viii be for this government to
say and not for Huerta to demand.
This was the exact situation at l: 10
D. nj. eastern time) this afternoon
From the sources highest In the gov
eminent 1t was learned that the above
situation was the result OF exchange
of messages between O'Shaughnessy
and Secretary Bryan. which started
Yesterday afternoon and continued to
the present time.
Secretary OF State Bryan at his
home In Calumet place made state
ment that he believed Huerta was
weakening. Bryan said he believed
before the time limit expired. Huerta
would agree Internationally TO salute
the American flag. While Secretary
BRYAN would not say SO. it was learn
ed that II the salute is fred 1t VIII De
returned and Admiral Mayos or1gl-
nal proposition will be strictly ao-
hered to letter for letter. Other nign
officials OF the government IN toucn
with the situation also interpreted
Huerta's abandonment OF his stimuli
taneous salute demand as distinct
backing down and they also said
they expected the crisis to pass WIN
out hostiIities. One OF them who mad
examined all of the dispatches to date,
said:
81 think the worst is over. Huerta
has one leg over the fence now, AND
we hope he will 60 the whole way
This belief was confined entirely
to diplomatic circles. War prepare
lions continued. There was no halt
in plans for the blockade OF the Mexf
can coast and there was no let up IN
the preparations in the war and navy
departments. Officers were at their
desks regardless of the fact that tnS
day was Sunday and the telegraph bu-
reaus in most branches Of the service
were working overtime. At the head
quarters of the constitutionaiist 5unta
there was a generally pessimlstfc
feeling. The men who have raised
the cash for Carranza were very
downcast. They do not believe tnat
Huerta can yield. Refusing to be In
terviewed they privately asserted that
1
mated before the week Is out, while
il he remains adamant he will wreck
the revolutionary cause through
force of public opinion and efferves-
cent patriotism.
Secretary Bryan said that he ex'
pected the next word from O'Shaugh-
messy would reach him between
and O'Clock this afternoon. Com
nlunication with Mexico City is reas-
onably prompt and the code messages
to and from the state department are
being given the right Of way.
Secretary Tumulty LETT the white
house for home before 2 o'clock and
said he would not come back before
6 o'clock unless sent for. He char
acterized the proposition OF whether
Huerta would yield as good fifty
fifty betting proposition although he
said that he believed Huerta would
accept .he terms of the United
States.
