HUERTA REFUSES TO
SALUTE 'OLD GLORY'!
Dictator, After Much Quibbling.
Declines to Comply With
Terms of Ultimatum.
Washington. General Victoriana
Huerta. provisional president of Mex
ico, flatly refused to accede to the un
conditional demand of the United
States Hint he salute the American
flag.
Negotiations with Huerta over the
demand for a salute In reparation for
the arrest of AmeriCHti sailors nt Tnm

President Wilson for a favorable re

Differ Over Form of Resolution.
When President Woodrow Wll
aon reviewed the Incident at
Tampico and said he deemed It his
duty to sustain In full the demand of
Admlrnl Mayo for a salute, cheers
came from the Democratic aide and
trom some Republicans. Many mem
bers of the minority party were silent,
however, a fact which occasioned
much comment In the galleries.
opposition developed along ninny,
dlfrerent lines. Some wanted to give
the president authority to (IcbI with
the whole Mexican problem; others
objected to Individualizing Huerta In
the resolution, while others thought
the use of the word "Juslfled" In ref
MUM io the president's course might
commit them Into an expression of ap
proval of other phases of the Mexican
question
The resolution upholding the presi
dent In his course was adopted by the
house by a vote of Xtf to 37, nfter a
spirited debate. Kor several hours it
was considered by the scale foreign
rotations committee and a new reso
