The senate passed the volunteer ]
army bill for taking into the regular i
service militia regiments in time of (
war. The bill already had passed i
the house. <
At 3 o'clock eastern time, President
Wilson appeared before con- <
gress and began reading his message, <
outlining the situation and asking
authority to use the army and navy j
in upholding the honor and dignity .
of the United States.
The Chamberlain bill, asking an ,

"That the president of the United

with the sum of $50,000,000 out of .
any moneys in the treasury not otherwise
appropriated, which sum shall j

This is identical to the bill passed ,
before the war with Spain.
Counsellor Lansing, of the State .

meeting to point out various ,

they had discussed "the various

The cabinet meeting ended shortly ;

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. It follows:
"I hav^ the honor to inform you ,
that I have overthrown this govern- ,
ment, the forces are with me, and
from now on peace and prosperity
will reign. Your obedient servant. ,

LOSES THE ENCAMPMENT.
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

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."
