C., April 18. —Huerta will salute the American flag at Tampico before 6 p. m. Sunday, or President Wilson will go before Congress in a joint session Monday and ask for au thority to take such measures as may be necessary. The following statement was issued at the White House: "General Huerta is still insisting upon doing something less than has been demanded and something less than would constitute an acknowledgment that his representatives were entirely in the wrong in the indignities they have put upon the government of the United States. "The President has determined that if General Huerta has not yielded by 6 o'clock on Sun day afternoon, he will take the matter to Congress on Monday." Huerta has reiterated his counter proposition for a simultaneous salute. President Wilson has informed him that the United States stands on the original demand of Rear Admiral Mayo, and that he must accept immediately. 1 WILL NOT WAIT FOR ADMIRAL BADGER Secretary Bryan prepared President Wilson's answer which was immediately sent to Mexico City. It set forth that unless Huerta accepts the American demands immediately the plan for seizure of Tampico and Vera Cruz will be carried out without waiting for Admiral Badger to reach Mexican waters. The plan for seizing Vera Cruz and Tampico also includes the seizure of the railway from Vera Cruz to Mexico City as far as a trestle, about twenty miles west of Vera Cruz.

It was reported in official circles that President Wilson might address Congress Monday. The only comment of White House officials was that Huerta was "very obstinate." As President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and Secretary Tumulty returned to the White House offices their faces were very grave and they were silent. All callers and those who had engage ments with Mr. Wilson were turned away with the word that "very grave business" was being con sidered. i If Huerta has not yielded at 6 p. m.
