HUERTA'S REPLY
SAID TO BE ON WAY
Speculations G. oncerning
Dictator's Answer to
United States.
A w AITING OU TCOME.
Generally Believed in Washington
That Huerta's Message Will Show
Quibblng Over the Salute.

Washington, April 1S.-Shortly be-
fore noon to&ay the President issued
the following statement:
"Gen. Huerta is still insisting upon
doing something less that has been
demanded and something less than
would constitute an acknowledgment
that his representatives were entirely
in the wrong in the ind;gnities they
have put upon the government of the
United States. The President has de-
termined that if Gen. Huerta, does not
yield by 6 o'clock Sunday afternoon
he will take the matter to Congress
Monday"
Washington, April 1s-With copies
of transactions Of the latest message
Of Charge O'Shaughnessy in his
pocket, Secretary Tuiriulty at Ii
o'clock today rushed from the State
.Department to the Washington Col
links where the President was play
ing golf. It was reported that these
dispatches Indicated that Huerta was
still desirious of quibbling and that
the answer was not a decisive ore.
The crisis of the Mexican situation
is at hand. Huerta's reply to the
United States ultimatums is enroute.
President Wilson and his advisers
are awaiting with unconcealed
eagerness his answer to a final detrtand
for salute to the flag sent him yes
terday by the United. States.
After long session with his cabi-
net last night, the Mexican ruler about
about 8 o'clock this morning turned
over to Charge O'shaughnessy his
country's demands.
This was at once put into cole and
rushed to Washington. Its receipt
here is momentariy expected.
tAt 9 o'clock this morning Secretary
Of State Bryan told the President that
it woulG be some hours before the an
swer of Huerta is received and trans:
lated.
Meanwhile, as the war vessels OF
the United Saetts are rushing south
ward along both coasts, it was EN-.
phasized at the State Department that
no time Limit enters into the present
situation. Huerta can climb down
and accept the ultimatdnA covering
the formalities concerning the salute
as laid down by Admiral Mayo up to
the arrival off Tampco of the wal
fleet of AIGmiral Badger.
Unless there is some unexpected
outrage against Americans the Gov
ernment will make no decisive move
until Badgers fleet is assembled or
the east coast and Rear Admiral
.Howard's Pacific squadron is reported
from San Diego as in readiness
This in all probability Will be next
Wednesday morning. .-f.-

MAYOR mitchell
HAS BODY GUARD
N e w York Executive
Watched Day and Night
by Eight Detectives.
GOLD FROG TALISMAN.
Mahoney, who Attempted to. Assass-
mate Mayor, Dipsomaniac and Said
to be irresponsible.

New York, April 1S-After visiting
the New York Hospital, where Cor
poration counsel Frank L. Polk is
confnel, Mayor John Purroy Mitch
ell went about his work as usual to-
day, following the attempt on his life,
but he was guarded by eight men
picked from the detective force by
Police Commissioner Wood.
Hereafter the mayor is to be guard
ed day and night by this force of spe-
cial detectives. They were selected
by the police commissioners for their
regulations for daring and knowle'
of the cranks and others which mig!!
atta1lpt MitchePs life.
Physicians at the New York Hos
pital reported the coH1ition of Polk
unchanged today. The wound in his
chin is painful but not serious, and
the wour;ed corporation counsel slept
during a portion of the night.
The old man, who attempted to Kill
Mayor Mitchell and shot Polk, after
hours of evasion, finally admitted
last night that he was Michael P. NJ
honey and that his home was New
port, KY.
/. Mahoney was arraigned tGaay on 4
charge of assault with intent to kill
and will probably be indicted Monday.
It is believed, however, that he vii!
committed to an asylum for criminal
insane. SsS :EH
Mahoney refused to sleep last
night. He sat on his cot with n
face buried in his hands or paced his
cell .mumbiing to himself. He would
not try to sleep on a cot, he said, be-
cause he was accustomed to sleeping
on mattress and with his head rals-
ed high on a pillow.
Mahoney sail he went to the City
Hall once before expecting to mur-
der the mayor. Then the mayor came
out between two women.
~ couldn't shoot man in the pres
ence of ladies'" said Mahoney. Wed
nesday it was raining and cark, ant
Mahoney said the bad weather "klnd
of took the mad cut Of me-"
Mayor Mitchell not only carries
revolver, but a talisman, and the
mayor gives a arall gold frog which
he has on his watch chain part OF
the credit for the escape from death
"The talisman lid it, he said before
the press club last night.
The wife of a citizen of Costa
Rica gave the mayor the gold frog last
fall. She said it was from the buria
mound of "a prehistoric race, and was
certain protection against death anc
violence. Mitchell said he had ex
pected such an attack some time, and
that it was one of the hazards he as
sumed in taking Office.
