The Mexican Foreign Minister, Senor Portlllo y Rojas, announced tonight that it would be impossible to agree to the demand of the United States that the flag of that country be unconditionally saluted, because that flag was not insulted, because it was not flying from the launch and because the marines were set free even before an investigation and the officer responsible for the arrests was blniBelf arrested and held for trial. The Foreign Minister further announced that the Mexican Gov ernment would agree that both flags be saluted, the American flag flrs.t, and then the Mexican flag, this arrangement to be made by a protocol signed by the American Charge D'Aftalres, Nelson O'Shaugh nessy, and the Mexican Foreign Minister. The United States Government, Senor Portlllo declared, had re fused permission to Charge O'Shaughnessy to sign such a protocol, and demanded an unconditional salute by Mexico, which Mexico felt was Incompatible with her dignity. In conclusion, the Foreign Minister Bald: "Mexico has yielded as much as her dignity will permit. Mexico trusts to the fair-mindedness and spirit of Justice of the American people." The foreign residents and Mexicans appeared to pay little atten tion to the crisis and followed their usual Sunday pursuits. HUERTA REFUSES TO SALUTE AMERICAN FLAG The Mexican Dictator Counters With New Con ditions Which President Wilson Promptly Rejects. U. S. WILL NOW RESORT TO FORCE Blockade and Seizure of Mexican Ports Will Be the First Action. Washington. General Vlctoriana Huerta, provisional President of Mex- lea, flatly refused Sunday to accede to the unconditional demands of tho United States that he salute the American flag, and Congress will be asked by President Wilson Monday for authority to use armed force to uphold the honor and dignity of the nation. Negotiations with Huerta over the demand for a salute In reparation for the arrest of American bluejackets at Tamplco on April 10 came to a close Sunday at 6 o'clock, the last hour given by President Wilson for a favor able response from the Mexican dicta tor. The final word of Huerta to Charge O'Shaurhnessy was a refusal to comply unless the United States would guarantee In writing that his salute be returned. rresiilent Wilson at midnight was on his way to Washington from White Sulnhur Snrincs. W. Va.. preparing to read a message to Congress in joint session as early as It can be arrangeu Monday. In the meantime American war fleets were moving down both coasts on their way to Mexican waters to carry out the President's plan for reprisals. No Formal Declaration Of War. The crisis thus reached does not mean that there vould be a formal declaration of war, because the United States could not declare war against a government which it does not rec ognize. President Wilson will seek authority, however, to send all the armed forces Into Mexico to seize first the ports of Tamplco and Vera Cruz and the railroad trestle leading from Vera Cruz toward Mexico City. The President directed that a Cab inet meeting be called for 10.30 o'clock tomorrow, when the final arrange ments for a pacific blockade of Mexi can ports and other steps in the Presi dent's program will be deliberated. Can No Longer Protect Foreigners. The break that finally has come with Mexico will make It impossible, it was declared of high authority, for the United States to further protect for eigners in that republic, and foreign governments have been notified of the situation In this regard. The President, it was declared, not only would ask Congress for authority to employ the armed forces to uphold the honor of the nation, but also for nn appropriation, a deficiency already having been created because of the ex pensive naval operations In anticipa tion of Huerta'8 defiance of this gov ernment. The President probably will ask fur ther thnt the Senate pass the vol unteer act, which already has passed the House, providing for pressing into regular service the militia regiments in the various States, Looks To Wilson To Clarify Situation. Representative Baker, one of the mnny members of Congress waiting nt the White House offices for news, said President Wilson's action In this crisis would "clarify the whole situation." "It will show Mexico and the world generally that the United States means business," he added, "and will have a good effect upon our foreign relations generally." VILLA'S VIEW OF IT. Says Bombardment Of Tamplco Would Not Be War. Torreon, Mexico. "I do not believe the Tamplco incident will result in war between tho United States and Mex ica," commented General Villa. "I regard the complication as one existing between President Wilson and President Huerta, and question whether even the bombarding of Tam plco would be construed as an act of war against Mexico, since Huerta is the offender and Illegally holds that port." ' A-ked If American non-combatants now resident In Mexico can be pro tected should war break out Villa re plied: "It would be a war between two civilized nations, and American non combatants could rely on the same protection here as could Mexicans in the United States." "But suppose there was a populrfr uprising against Americans; could you control it?" "Well, I have driven 25,000 federals out of rebel territory, and I think I could control the "proletariate."

Under their own laws the people were forbidden to en gage in mining operations, and the only concession that was made was Enlarging Suez Canal. Improvemets now progressing on the Sues canal, for which the com pany has power to raise $30,000,000 through bonds, are expected to be completed in 1918-19. The latest scheme makeB provision for a depth of 40 feet throughout and for widening up to 196 feet 8 Inches In the south section and cutting an appropriate number of sidings in the north and central sections, Enlarging the ca pacity of the canal presents no spe cial engineering difficulty.
