Counsellor Lansing, of the State . department, was taken into the cabinet meeting to point out various , precedents. Cabinet officers said they had discussed "the various steps in the situation." The cabinet meeting ended shortly ; after 1 p. m. "The president will ten tne wnoie i story at the capital at 3 o'clock." . said the secretaries as they passed out. It became known that they consid- < ered Charge Algara's latest communication as containing nothing new. Torpedo flotilla at Pensacola receives orders to join Atlantic fleet and hasten to Mexico. National Guard throughout United States ready to volunteer for service. Twelve best known aviators in world volunteer for United States service in Mexico. Panama Canal is ready to take Atlantic fleet through to Pacific side. Situation is Unchanged. The only suspicion of a break in the silence between Washington and Mexico City came during the forenoon when Charge Algara carried a communication to Secretary Bryan. The charge said he considered it was somewhat different from the proposition which was refused last night, but Secretary Bryan declared it was the same as that forwarded by Charge O'Shaughnessy, and could not be accepted. Mr. Algara tele- . graphed to the Mexican foreign minister, Senor Portilo y Rojas, that Mr. Bryan had received his communication "with no encouragement." Huerta's teleeram to President Taft on February 18, 1913, was given out again at the White House to-day and officials declared its words had a sig- ; nificant bearing on the present situa- , tion.

GOVERNOR'S LETTER DOES XOT SATISFY SECRETARY OF WAR. * Doubts Expressed as to Army Encampments on Account of Mexican Situation. Washington, April 20.?Secretary Df War Garrison announced this afternoon that the encampment of the National Guard of the Southeastern division would be sent to some other \ State than South Carolina, the reply received to-day from the governor to the secretary's telegram of Saturday not being considered satisfactory. The matter appears to be closed. When asked for a sfotement on the subject, Congressman Whaley would ?ay no more than this: "I regret exceedingly that the department has taken this encampment away from the first district. I had worked Hard to secure it, and worked hard to keep it after having secured it, and hoped up to the last moment that the secretary of war would see his way clear to fixing upan the Isle of Palms. The decision is against the State, and not the site at ther Isle of Palms. Had the encampment been held in the State I am absolutely sure that the Isle of Palms would have been the site. If there is war with Mexico, of course, there will be no joint manoeuvres anyhow." Some doubt is felt in Washington as to there being any encampments whatever of the militia if war breaks 3ut, except the encampments incident to the war itself. Columbia, April 20.?It was stated at the governor's office this afternoon that a telegram was sent to Secretary of War Garrison yesterday telling him a special delivery letter regarding the manoeuvre encampment had been mailed to him. Telegrams were dispatched at the same time to Congressmen Whaley and Byrnes .informing that copies of the letter to Mr. Garrison had been mailed them under special delivery. A report received at the governor's office from the Washington office of the Western Union stated that all three telegrams were delivered in Washington yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, it was stated, and they should have reached Washington this morning. Senate Approves President's Policy. Washington, April 22.?The senate at 3.21 o'clock this morning, by a vote of 72 to 13,.passed the administration bill declaring "That the president is justified in the employ??A n,.wio^ fnr/tae A f ftro LIIt?JJLl Ui liiC ai uicu ivi \/^g v& vmv r United States to enforce his demands for unequivocal amends for the affronts and indignities committed against the United States in Mexico." apology to Rear Admiral Mayo, commander of the American fleet. "We thought the incident closed, but unfortunately this was not so because Mayo sent an ultimatum wherein he asked a second apology, that the American flag be hoisted at a public place in Tampico and saluted by twenty-one guns and besides that severe punishment be given Hinojosa. Stipulating that all this be done within twenty-four hours. "The term was later extended. The president of Mexico, when informed of the case, ordered another investigation of the facts and punishment of the guilty officer if it was proved he was blameworthy. When he became aware that the. American government supported the request, of Admiral Mayo relative to the salute to the American flag, which had not been insulted, he proposed to show his good will toward the American people, though he did not think such request just, proposing that the flags of the two nations be hoisted and saluted simultaneously and reciprocally. "The American government did sot agree to that idea but insisted upon Rear Admiral Mayo's request. This was not accepted by President Huerta, who insisted upon his proposal. Then the American government determined that Pourparler be brought to a close within the term expired at 6 o'clock Sunday night, rhe Mexican government proposed signing a protocol and Minister of foreign affairs presented last night a draft of the protocol to American Charge O'Shaughnessy. "O'Shaughnessy Sunday afternoon communicated to the minister, the fact that hfs government did not accept the idea of a signature of the protocol, but wanted an unconditional salute to the American flag. "This the Mexican government refused. feeling it had done all that is possible. The Mexican government is confident that the civilized world will find that its conduct has been wise and temperate: that it has observed all the requirements of international law. and that its refusal to yield further is inspired only by a regard for its honor and dignity."
