Washington, April 16.—Huerta hps promised Charge O'Shaughnessy to salute the American flag in apol- ogy, and unless he changes hig mind the crisis promises to pass within twenty-four hours. Thig announce- ment was made at the White House today. The text of the dispatch was not published, but it was officially stateq that the only point remaining to be settled was the number of guns to be fired. It was stated that when the salute is actually fired some of the battleships enroute to Tampico will be turned back. Huerta's suggestion that the mat- ter be submitted to arbitration is re- garded here as merely an attempt to evade the main issue. Neither do the officials here regard the insult to the flag and uniform of the United States as a matter fit for arbitration. Information as to just what Huertu discussed with his Senate yesterday is still lacking today, but the gen- eral impression gained from meager reports made public was that he showeq no indication of yielding. Congress was kept in close touch with the situation today and was in readiness for any action that might be required of the legislative branch of the government. The only condition is that Amer- ican ships shall fire an acknowledge- ment of the salute. High officials say thig is in accordance with inter- national custom. The disposition of officials seems to be to increase the naval force in Mexican waters even if a salute ig fired. Worq of the rift PROMISED T0 1 he is now in active charg \Ir.
