Provis ional President Huerta of Mexico has parleyed again over firing the salute demanded by the United States in aoolofiv for the arrest of American bluejackets at Tampico and other insults. He demands that his salute to the United Sta tes flag shall be returned simul taneously. This President Wilson is practically certain not to ac cept. This latest pitch at the eleventn hour, when officials here expected the" situation was as good as closed was disclosed in dispatches from Charge O'Shaughnessy. The pres Ident discussed it with the cabinet The administration officials said nrivatelv that " Huerta's counter nrnnoaitlnn would not be accepted l - - r - The development confirmed tne fears of those officials who expectea Huerta would equlvercate again Any Intention of recalling any ships of the fleet now bound to Tampico wtahanfoned and those close to th administration expected to see Wilson's demand for an unquali fied apology back up. The text of O'Shaughnessy s ois patches was not made public but it became known that Huerta's lateit proposal was that as his guns fired their salute, the guns of tne Amer ofror it had been nnisnea, roturn salute of a like num ber of guns, such as is prescribed ir. aval custom ana preceaeni.

While Secretary Bryan, when he took the latest dispatches to the president, said the situation was "encouraging but not finished," and white house officials said the details remaining In dispute did not affect the "heart of matter," it developed that Huerta's counter proposition for simultaneous sal ute was regarded as another play for time which probably would be countenanced. 1 Ail ;the latest dispatches were 1 loM tufnr the cabinet.
