Must Accede to Original Condition*.

"3ags, informing him thai the United
Sta cs would insist on a literal compliance
with the original demand o?
Rear Admiral Mayo mode April 9th,
in a written communication to Gen.
Zaragoza immediately after the arres:
of American bluejackets at Tampico.
V The Washington government inform
er Huerta that his wish for simultaneous
firing of the salutes was untenable
and that a salute of 21 guns, as
demanded by Rear Admiral luayo,
would be insisted cn, the manner of
returning the salu;e to be left to tfhe
American admiral, who had agreed to
sire one to the Mexican flag. Naval
precedent slbowed no "simultaneous
salute'' ever had been fired in apolo,
sy for aa offffense.
i Vrw r<?r>lv tn thp last Americaa note
sransmit:ed through Charge O'Shaugiinessy
had been received up to late today,
and no orders to the American
war fleet to slow down or turn back
had been issued. Administration officials
considered, however, the main
point at issue?>;he exchange of salute
?had been settled. They regard
1 HuertaV "haggling over details," as
B one official expressed it, as not likely
io prevent an adjustment of the coniroversy.
They believed the crisis was
over, out on me ouier iiauu, xu vic*>
y of the kaleidoscopic changes of the
last three days, said they would not
| be surprised if the hitch over details
became serious again.
>ot to Huerta.
The American government ft olds
t&at when a 21 gun salute is fired to
the Stars and Stripes .I'he salute in
acknowledgement will be fired to the
{ tfag of the Mexican repulbic and not
to toe Huerta administration or any
government official.
The navy department gave out the
~ext of Admiral Mayo s demand as
| follows: i
r"TMs morning an otncer ana squaa
of men of Mexican militia forces arrested
and marched through the
I s:reets of Tampico a commissioned
I officer of the United States navy, the
f paymaster oi Dolphin, toge.her witii
seven men composing the crew of the
wlialeboat of the Dolphin. At the time
of this arrest the officer and men
concerned were unarmed and engaged
in loading cases of gasoline which had
i
been purchased 011 shore. Part of the '
men were on shore, but all, including j
:he man or men in boat, were forced ;
' io accompany armed Mexican forces.
"I do not ne'ed to tell you that tak-1
ing men from a boat flying t'he United i
States flas: is a hostile act, not to be
excused.
I
"I already have received your
verbal message of regret that this,
<even: lias happened and your state- j
?neiit that i; was committed by an ig- j
norant officer.
"TThe responsibility for a hostile act
oan not be avoided by the plea of i
ignorance.
Demands Apology.
"In view of the publicity of this i
occurrence, I mus: require that you i
send by suitable members of your j
staff formal disapproval and apology
for the act, together with your assur- !
ance tha* the officer responsible for it
will receive severe punishment. Also
that yc-u publicly hoist the United
4 States flag in a prominent position on
shore and salute it with 21 guns. The
{ salute will be returned by this ship,
ft "Your answer to this communica- j
W Tinn should re^vh me and the called!
for salute be fired wir~:'\ 24 hours!
from 6 p. m. this date."
Secretary Daniels a few days ago |
said Rear Admiral ;Mayo himself
i
modified his demand somewhat, say-'
ing he would net insist on having the
salute fired while the American flag
was hoisted cn Mexican lerritory and
j would be satisfied if :he salute was
tD the flag "in a conspicuous place"
either on the mast of the Dolphin or
a Mexican gunboat.
l~ere was much discussion about
the propri-ty of returning Huer;a*s
salute because of navy regulation Xo.
1194, which reads:
"No salure shall be fired in h?nor
of any nati:n or of any official of any
nation not formally recognized by the
$ government of the United States."
In explanation of this point, Rear
Admiral Fiske, aide for operations,
issued the following sta'emeat:
'Tv's regulation is interpreted as a
prohibition against firing a salute in
honor of any government which has
recently come into being, or in honor
oi' any official o: such government. if
i Iia.cs nut been formally : -cog .ized
| by our government. Any such salu e
wjuld be considered as a recognition
j i that government: and in order to
! escape frun the consequence of such
j apparent recognition it would become
I necessary for our government forma 1'
ly to disavow it.
Fired Admiral Too.
"In Rear Admiral StaiKOn, IT.
S. X.. made me mistake of saluting
J the flag of Rear Admiral -Mello, who
: was in revolt against the Brazilian
j government. The Brazilian govern|
ment complained :o our government,
j which promptly disavowed the salute
1 and relieved Admiral S anton from
i command.
Paragraph 1194 is not interpre ed
j a- prohibiting the firing of a salute in
I 11 -> r> , f onv nut-inn rvt' \Vftir?h f'f.A
I L M,11J liu V-/ i- ?? Xivu W?'V
govern men i has merely passed fiom
the hands of certain individuals to
the hands of other individuals, even
though our government may 210: have
recognized the new individuals. For
instance, our ships in entering Mexican
ports have saluted the ports a<;d
the salutes have been returned. This
salute is considered merely as in
lioncr 0:' the sovereignty of the rer.ublic
of Mexico, and no: in 'honor
j of any individuals who may have gotI
ten control of the machinery of the
government. The salu:e are national
salutes and not personal salutes.
It was pointed out latter that
the colors of Admiral Mello were not
the Brizilian flag, but the flag of rebellious
forces.''
Secreary Daniels said he had consulted
the general naval board, who
unanimously agreed that in all cases
where salutes are given they
muse be returned". Mr. Daniels spoke
of the fact that Mexican gunboats,
even though in the possession of the
. unrecognized Huerta government,
1 "'ava 1 n f no Coa/l A llVOT*
I VI ^ CPIUltU ?* paoouu iiiUV i ,
ican warships. He referred, too, to
! thl recent visit at New Orleans o-f a
} Mexican gunboat, which was not saluted
by the shore batteries. The war
department inquired of the navy de!
partment at that time about prece|
dents, and the army officer in charge
i at Xew Orleans was advised to re!
turn the salu;e.
i
Thinks He Has Yielded.
The difficulties which arose over
: Huerta's request for a simultaneous
I salnto nipafprl a situation of uncer
i tai-.ty and unrest. Many high officials
considered that Huera had
yielded the essential psint and mere1
ly was trying to adjust the con(troversy
s) that his dignity would not
I be lowered.
i
j At the cabinet meeting the situation
! was only briei'y discussed. That the
incident was no: considered closed
was indicated, however, by t::e change
in plans which both the president
and Secretary Bryan made. The
president will not go to White Sulp.iur
Springs, \Y. Va., until tomorrow
night, and Secretary Bryan will not
go to Fl:rida u-V.il the whole question
is adjusted.
Just when the salute will be fired
i: an agreement is reached is conjectural.
Many officials think most
of ilie ships of the Atlantic fleet will
be at Tampico when the salute is
fired. Secretary Daniels said the orders
given to Rear Admiral Badger
merely were "to proceed to Tampico."
At the capitol asain today the C\Iex
ic-an situation overshadowed pending
legislation in interest. That Huerta
must salute the American colors with
21 guns before Ameican cannon acknowledge
the apology is trae sentiment
of congress. There also is a
growing feeling among senators and
re\resentatives that there should be
no further negotiating with Huerta;
that Huerta should comply completely
with demands o%f this nation or suffer
the consequences.

?Two Motions To Save His
Life.
Atlanta. April 16.?Execution of Leo
M. Frank, the young factory superintendent,
sentenced "o be hanged tomorrow
fee the murder of Mary Phaga:\
14 years o \ was stayed by legal
action today.
Two m tions were filed by different
sets of attorneys in an effort :o savv
the lite of he defendant, who is the
cor ral figure in a case that has caused
national comment. One was the
: annulment of the guiltv verdict oil
%
the ground ua? the :rial judge -.rred
j in allowing Fra?k to be absent from
, the cour: room. The other asks for a
new trial ;j the ground of newly discovered
evidence.
Arguments on both motions, which
j were filed in the superior cour:, will
; be heard by Judge Hill on April 22.
i This action o: the court automatically
stays the hanging of Frank un:il final
action is taken, on the two motions.
Violation of :.'ie United States Oousitua'ion
is claimed, by counsel for the
i
' defence in the action of Judge R an,
. who ]>r sided at tin.' trial, in allowing
Frank 10 bo absent f'oni t'iie court
i
room when rho verdict was re urned.'
It is believed this ploa will c ntitut?
the basis <;f an appeal to the supremo
court of the raited Stales should ho
i Stare courts finally decide against a
now hearing.
Hnt:nn for \lillllllllOllf.
; The motion for th<> annulment of the I
verdic" was filed by attorneys who'B
heretofore haw not been connected I
with thf defence. 1; raises the ques- I
! tion of the legality of waivers by both I
' t. e defence and prosecution which per- I
mitted the factory superintendent to |
be absent from the court room when
; the jury returned its verdict.
Absence of the young defendant from I
J he court room was agreed to by the j
trial judge and two the three law-;
vers then associated with the defence. ,1
----- . _iL I
: The third defence atrorney Knew nom- |
ing of the plan, it is said.
| '
i Judge R !a.\ presiding, is said to
j have suggest d the absence, and the
attorneys agreed, tearing violence to
v i
Frank in the event that a verdict of i
acquittal was returned. The defence I
attorneys also were absen.:.
Denies Tliey Had Kight.
The interpretation of tiie law, made
; in the motion to set aside the verdict,'
| holds the defence counsel had no right
i
' tr? a ?rpp tn Fra::k s absence at the,
rendition of the verdict.
It deprived Frank, the motion asserts,
of his right to counsel at that:
i time and deprived him of his legal
i privilenge to be in the'court rocm.
i
j Relative to the agreement on
Frank's absence at the time of the ver- j
j die:. Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey, 1
1 chief of the State's counsel, issued the!
I following statement today:
! "Under the promise of Frank's attorneys,
R. R. Arrold and Luther Z.
I Rosser. that 110 advantage would be
! tflkpn nf if. and over mv nrotest to the
i judge against proceeding under that
j promise, Judge L. S. Roan, of his own
! motion, permitted the accused to be
! absent from court when the verdict
j was rendered.''
