Washington, Arri? 19-Throughout to day the Mexican crisis oe? cupied the absorbing attention of the officials' dispelling the usual calm of a beautiful mid-spring.. Sunday. President Wilson arrived st White Sulphur Spring?, W Va.', early in the d; r a nights ride from Washington, and there joined Mrs. Wilson. Secretar}' Bryan remained up virtually all of?t^T??ght awaiting deMHte word from Mexico City. He was at the State department arter midnight^ and going' home continued teleDhoninr tn iimc> in the ci om at the State department until 4 o'clock this morn in*', Short?y after midnight Mr. Bryan received two messages from MCXJCO, both from-Mr- O'Shr.ughnessy. The first .was ?" merely Sformal, stating that the message of President Wilson, giving Huerta until si* o'clock tonight to yield, had been communicated to Portillo IPPpJas, the minister for foreign affairs, and that a reply would fol low. _ . . The second despatch was in the nature of a reply, although officials quickly oert?^lved that it W?S no-? clearly responsive and det?n?il^? friands made by this government, but raised a new i&oje a? io' ?!^ wnncd S??ies; agreeing in v'r?flhg"''to return the Huerta sa?' hste.

This was coJWBfrued by oifkials as a wily and adroit move on Huerta's part to obtain aK assurance direct from the^American government that would be^pa!^?-of beir.g con-! rVtrueU In him as a recognition of the de facto Mexican government. | Olltciais here were not disposed to give any such assurance, nor to .prolong the discussion as to dctsUs.. They. ?:?i?. ?ietcn?ii:eu; after consulting with President Wilson, to hold to the one concrete question of Huerta's yielding of t?te American demand as it had; submittied. The* reply to Huerta made clear to him that a or "no" to the American demand is all t!;?t ?-?maiaed for hirn, and thai nothing that was to oe done would bear the coii> ftfii^non .of a recognition of the Huerfa regime. Congress to Get Busy. In the meantime tentative plans were being made for the legis lative procedure .which tomorrow may place the full naval and mili tary establishment in the hands of the president for decisive measures against the defacto, government in Mexico. The scope of the author ity to b ?conferred on the president, and thje means to be placed in his h?ndtr for exerting that authority, viii depend on the president's de sires. When the president returns to Washington early tomorrow morning these desires undoubtedly will be submitted to leaders of the house and senate, before the two legislative bodies meet at noon. Then the, president probably will go to the capitol to read a special mssage to congress. Unless the Huerta, government accepts the presidentSs term? to night, Majority Leader Underwood will offer a joint resolution in the house, when it meets at noon, providing for a joint sesssion of congress within an hour. .'?/?ni ses??uii wii hear what-the president has to advise on the Mexican situation, and probably before the president returns to the White House a resolution will have been offered in each house in sepr session, The chairman bf the foreign affair? and foreign re lations committees will offer the resolutions, which immediately will ferred to the ?esnective committees.
