Huerta's offer to salute the Stars and Stripes as an apology for the arrest of American blue Jack ets at Tampico a week ??Ho to-dnv. The Huerta government's salute io the Amorican flag will he answered with a salute to the tri cohn- ot the Mexican nation. This arrangement, the details ol which were being dually arranged .to-night 'M an exchange of official messages between Washington and j Mexico City, ended in \ few ol all high administration officials I he crisis that had resulted III the dis natch of American war Heels to M<-xi- I ? i can waters.

The lt et urn Saline. Huerta's offer and request for a return salute caused President Wil son to ask for an opinion from the counsellor of the State Department and Navy Department officials. All reported that it was the invariable custom In naval practice to return a salute, and cited precedents. The President also was informed that Hear Admiral Mayo, on making his original demand for a salute, agreed to return the courtesy. No Recognition of Huerta. Mr. Wilson said a return of a Ba illie under such circumstances did not involve recognition of the Huerta government, but was merely an act of the same character as grasping the hand of an individual who was apologizing as he extended it. Sec retary Bryan, too, took the view that the American salute would be given to the flag of the Mexican nation, just as much respected hy the rebels as the Huerta government and no technical recognition was Involved. Precedents in which the United States returned the salute of other nations who apologized to it were cited at the White House and Navy Department, and it was generally M ' will be given until the tinaj details Of the salute have been arranged. 11 uer tn (uves In. In loss than 18 hours after Presi dent Wilson had ordered the Atlantic and Pacitic fleets lo Mexican waters, and had informed Gen. Huerta that unless a salute was tired to atone tor repealed offenses against thc dignity Of the Pulled States there would be Perlons consequences, the " answer came a complete acceptance of the demands of the Washington govern ment. Immediately lhere was a change In the atmosphere of official Washing ton. As the storm clouds lifted and a wave of satisfaction spread through official quarters. President Wilson arranged to ger to White Sul phur springs, W. Va., for the wec-k end. and Secretary Bryan, who is 111. planned to take his long delayed trip to Miami. Pla.

Most of tho London morning papers, commenting on thc Mexican situation, sympathize with President Wilson in the Mexi can tangle while at tho same time contending that dilllcull les were largely brought about by lils Idealis tic policy. Much curiosity is expressed over the Intentions ol' the United Stales, because, although it generally is be lieved Huerta will yield, it ls pointed ou: that should he remain obdurate the mere occupation of Ta m pico fould not have much practical effect. and that tin? blockade of Vera ('ru/, would be the only measure tba! would deal a serious blow lo the Huerta regime. The Dally Telegraph canno? be lieve President vVK&o:: intends to put In effect the resolute military inter vention, and sees no hop? of putting an end to "the anarchy which has re sulted from tin? Wilson policy of moral interven' 'on." The Daily (" rapide considers that President Wilson's High moral pur poses have landed the United States and the President himself "in a situ ation of greatest difficulty and em barrassment." The Graphic continues: "Mexico must be conquered or left alone. The Idea that Intervention can be limited to the occultation of Tampico and Vera Cruz is ii fresh delusion which would be speedily shattered." The Standard says: "The big stick which Roosevelt would have used long ago has at last been grasped. The door of peace is still open, but it rests with Huerta to avail himself of t he chance."

Two motions were tiled I in an effort to save the 1 defendant, who is the cen ; fl in a case that has caused na< comment. One asks the tum ul in of the guilty verdict on t that the trial judge erred in all mg Frank to he absent court room when the verde t > : nounccd. The other asks f-o a trial on the claim of newly discover ed evidence. Arguments on both motions, which were tiled in the Superior Court, will be heard by Judge Hill on April 22. This action of the court automatically stays the hanging of Frank until final action is takt ? on the two motions. Violation of the United States con stitution is claimed by counst,l for the defense in the action of Judge Roan, who presided at the trial, in allowing Frank io be absent from the court room when the verdict was re turned. It is believed this plea will constitute the basis of an appeal to the Supreme Court of the Uhited States in casi the State courts decide against a new hearing. The motion for the annulment ol the verdict was tiled by attorneys who, heretofore, have not been Con nected with the defense. lt raises the question of the legality of v/aiv ers of both the defense and prosecu tion, which permitted the factory superintendent to be absent from the court room when the jury returned the verdict. Absence Agreed To. Absence of the defendant from the ?.onrt room was agreed to by tin trial judge and two of the three law yers then associated with the defense. The third defense attorney knew nothing of the plan, it is said. Judge Roan, presiding, is satd to have sug gested the absence and the attorneys for both sides agreed, fearing vio lence to Frank in case a verdict of acquittai was returned and the de fendant was in court. The defense , attorneys also were absent.

Af ter pointing out the feeling preva lent against the defendant at the time of the trial, reviewing the sug gestion of the trial judge and their agreement to it. their stan neut says: "Because of our particip?t, i in the agreement with the judge, as counsel, we feel that we ought not to take part as attorneys in the motton to set aside the judgment upon the ground of Frank's absence.

Mills Sells Our Goods at Westminster MASTER AND WIFE AND EIGHT Of Crew of Schooner Hurled Ashore Near Long Branch, N. .1. New York, April 16.-Capt. Har-j dy and his wife and eight members of the crew of the schooner Charles I K. Buckley, from Jacksonville to New York, perished last night when their life boat was wrecked after the Buckley had been hurled ashore by a northwest gale near Long Branch. New Jersey.. The schooner is a total loss. One seaman named Martinson, who re mained on the deck of the Buckley, was rescued soon after midnight by being virtually lassoed by a line shot across the bow of the schooner from the shore. Martinson got twisted up in the breeches buoy line and was dragged from the deck into the seeth ing sea. Life savers on shore ran with the line, dragging Martinson upon the beach more dead than alive. He wa? rushed to the Monmouth Hospital in the automobile of a wealthy shore resident. Both of Martinson's shoulders and one leg were broken. He is not expected to live. Besides Capt. Hardy and his wife it is believed that at leas; eight men. members of the crew, went down when the life boat failed to weather the waves. ? The Charles K. Buckley was heav ily laden with lumber. She was a three-masted schooner of 430 tons. Her home port was Newark, N. J. The schooner became unmanage able early last night. She first struck the beach near Seabright, N. J., then the wind caught her and swept her down the coast, where she appeared to break in two. Her cargo of lum ber kop; ber afloat, though a great mass of it was swept away. Life savers rigged up searchlights on the beach and shot line after "ne toward the vessel. Because of the breakers it was impossible to launch a boat.
