" ' ". .,'"' Contention for "Simultaneous Sa lute' Flatly Refused Manner In .Which Acknowledgment Is Fired 6ft for Mayo to Decide. WashingtonApril 17. The United States has warned General Iluerta that no further argument about de tails of the salute of the American flag will be tolerated. Twenty-one guns must be fired to the Stais and Stripes, in reparation for the arrest of American blue jack ets at Tarapicb, or serious conse quences jvill follow. The Atlantic fleet in the meantime continues on its way to Tanipico to back up the Washington government's demands. , - Rear Admiral Mayo's original'' de mand, calling for a 21 -gun salute, which he promised to return accord ing to naval precedent, has been in sisted on. Tho '.inofficial declaration from Senor Poitillo Rojas, Hueita's uiin ister for foreign affairs, that tho re turn salute would be regarded ug a tacit recognition of the Iluerta gov ernment received no attention from udniitiistrutiou officials. "Recognition is not extended by inadvertnncc, but by intent," said a high administration official tonight. Wusiiinaton. April 17. President Wilson today flatly rejected '.Gen 1 luerui's suggestion for a "simul taneous salute" to the American and Mexican flags, informing him that the United States would insist o a literal compliance with the original demnn.l of Rear Admiral Muyo, made April !Hh, in a written communica tion to Gen. Zaragoza, immediately after the arrest of American blue jackets at Tampico.v , The Washington government in formed Iluerta that his wish for sim ultaneous firing of the salutes was untenable and that a salute of 21 guns i.s demanded by Rear Admiral Mayo, , would be insisted on, the manner of returning the sulute to be left to the American admiral who hud agreed to fire to the Mexi can flag. Naval precedent showed no "simultaneous salute" ever had been fired in apology for an offense. No .reply to the last American note, transmitted through Charge O'- Shaughnessy, had been received up to hits today, and no orders to the American war fleets to slow down or turn bf.ek had been issued. The difficulties which arose over Huerta's request for a simultaneous salute created a, situation of uncer tainty and unrest. Many high offi cials considered that Iluerta ' had yielded the essential point, and merely was trying to adjust the con troversy so that his dignity would not be lowered. At the cabinet meeting the situa tion was only briefly discussed. Just when the salute will b. fired, if a iv agreement is reached, is con jectural. Many officials think most of the ships of. the Atlantic fleet will be at Tainpico when the salute is fired. Secretary Daniels said the orders given to Rear Admiral Budger were to proceed to Tampico.
