NAVY IS opinion is expressed freely in official circles that nothing but a complete apology and such a salute as the Uni ted States demands, ould be ac septed. Playing For Time. While Secretary Bryan when he took the latest dispatches before the president said the situation was "en couraging but not finished," and White House officials said the detail remaining in dispute did not affect the "heart of the matter," It develop ed that Huerta's counter proposition for a simultaneous salute was regard- PREPARED i probably would not be countenanced. All the latest dispatches were laid before the cabinet. Practically all the members of. the official family were sold to be agrfed that there should be no further temporizing. When the cabinet meeting adjourn ed Secretary Bryan . still described the negotiations as "encouraging" but not final.. "I have received one mes sage from Charge O'Shaughnessy and have sent one In reply," lie said. Request Is Denied. Other members of the cabinet said Heurta had been Informed that no simultaneous salute would be ac ceptable to tills government. Secretary Bryan left the cabinet while it still was In session to send j til'" i Rear Admiral Charles J. Badger. Congress Stands Behind Wilson. Washington. Congress stands -be hind the administration almost to a man In the aggressive policy to de mand reparation for Indignities the Huerta government has offered. In senate and house the opinion was gen eral that the president would be back ed even to actual warfare. Both ad ministration and Republican leaders expressed emphatic views that the United States is not sending the fleet to Tamplco as a "bluff;" that It is acting to signlze the fact that Ameri can patience has been exhausted. Akerman Holds Job Until Big Trial. Washington. Attorney General Mc- Reynolds told Senator West he would insist that Alex. Akerman be retained In the office ot district attorney for the southern district ot Georgia until after the trial of the case agalnsrthe Amer ican Naval Stores company, sometimes called the naval stores trustV , This case Is set tor May 18, and there is no telling how much time It wliK con sume.

Heurta's equivocation over apology to the American flag was met with an unqualified demand for a salute of twenty-one guns as origin ally asked by Rear Admiral Mayo at Tamplco. American warships to re turn it, according to international cus tom. : , ' . This word went forward to Mexico City after President Wilson and his cabinet had discussed Heurta's pro posal that the salute be simultaneous . some dispatches. He was silent as to one and that he be assured that the their nature, but It was understood American ships would return his that the word had gone back to gunfire.. . -Uuorta that a simultaneous aaluate President Wilson and his advisers considered ' Huerta's answer briefly and Secretary Bryan left the cabi net meeting to send the reply. It was brief and final: "We Intend to have that salute," said Secretary Daniels. Other officials reiterated the Inten tion of the American government to have no more temporizing but a com plete apology for Indignities to the flag. Huerta had parleyed again. He de manded that his salute to the United States flag be returned simultaneous ly gun for gun. This President Wil son would not accept . This hitch at the eleventh hour when officials here expected the situation was as good as closed, was disclosed in dispatches from Charge O'Shaughnessy. President Wilson discussed it vlth the cabinet. Admin istration officials said privately Huer ta's counter proposition would not be accepted. Wilson Will Back Up Demand. The development confirmed fears of those officials who expected Huerta would equivocate again. Any Inten tion of recalling any ships of the fleet bound to Tamplco was abandoned and those close to the administra tion expected to see President Wil son's demand for an unqualified apol ogy backed up. What United States WIN Do. The text of Charge O'Shaughnessy's dispatches was not made public, but it became known that Huerta's proposal was that as his guns fired their saluate to the stars and stripes as an apology for continued affronts to the United States, that the cannon of the American fleet should reply to the Mexican saluate gun for gun. Officials here were ready to ac knowledge Huerta's salute of 21 guns after It had been finished, with a re turn saluate such as Is prescribed in naval custom and precedent. That would merely be acknowledging an amende honorable, they say, but to re turn Huerta's salute, gun for gun, they pointed out, would make' the apology valueless. :. - i Heurta's Motive. J ' Officials described Huerta's move as an act to preserve ' his own dignity before' the .Mexicans of that part of the country under his' control.

It was learned that 4 one of the causes of Huerta's parely was a fear, that should he give the salute demanded the American, ships might not return tt and thus leave him in a humiliated position. It was said that he would order the salute It assured that the United States would comply with the International amenities and acknowledge it Word that the Uni ted States would acknowledge his sa lute according to custom, and prece dent went forward to Mexico City. Secretary Bryan Instructed Charge O'Shaugnessy finally to inform Huerta that the United States would accept nothing less than a salute of 21 guns. and that the American ships will re ply after the salute has been fired. i: WMtehouse Wedding; May 7. ; V Washington.
