Ample Precedent for a Return Salute, but it Doesn’t Mean Recognition of Huerta. APOLOGIES ARE MADE FOR ALL THE INSULTS "| Wilson Denies That Huerta Has | Heretofore Offered to Fire Any Salute for the Tampico Affair. \ GY SAMUEL M. WILLIAMS. STAFF CORRESPONDENT OF THE EVENING WORLD. WASHINGTON. April 16.—Official announcement was made jat the White Hotisc this afternoon that negotiations are in prog: jress for Huerta to fire the salute to the flag that has been de- |manded and which will be returned by American guns. The question at issue late this afternoon is whether the American salute in reply will constitute recognition of Huerta’s government. President Wilson holds that it will not. Huerta argues otherwise; meanwhile the battleships are continuing on their way. Late to-day Secretary Bryan despatched a communication to Charge O'Shaughnessy. Its contents were not revealed here, but it is understood to be an acceptance of Huerta’s offer for a salute, which will be acknowledged by the American ships, President Wilson told callers there was no known precedent against returning a salute and that in the natural course the ” United States would return a salute when fired. The President held that no recognition would be involved in returning Huerta’s salute and that wnen it was fired the incident would be closed, apologies having been made for previous offences, Mr. Wilson denied that at any time during the negotiations c prior to jay had Huerta offered to tlre any salute, though some subordinate ofticlais did attempt to sound out the American it on the question of saluting the Delphin, That was us u private salute to the Do cun Hag and way declined, hin and not to the Amer he President made it clear (hat orders to the Atlantic and Paelfie een changed, No time limit has been set for the salute, i word on the Huerta offer hag (and the rimal WILSON HOPES CRISIS 1S OVER, Mi.
