Tho under standing Is that no republicans will oppose them, though some of them have said confidentially that they would consider n Mexican coast block ado will amount to a war movement on a very small excuse. Itexoliitlou Adopted Tho resolution empowers the president to "use the cntlro land anl naval forces of tho United States to call tho organized militia into serv ice and to take such further steps as may bo necessary as to enforce re spect of the honor and dignity of the United States."

The events of a day or mi hour, the president said, mij-lil change Hie situ ation, nml he was making: his plans uccnrdiugly, hour by hour. In effect, he deelared that what ho wanted from Huerta was full recoi uitioii of the honor nml dignity uf tho United States, together with ade quate guarantees that such things as the Tampieo incident would not iigaiu occur.
