THE SUN, MONDAY, APRIL 20, 1914.
CABINET MEETS THIS MORNING ARMY TO CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
time, but It was not until nImo.it '8:30 J
o'clock Washington tlmo thnt thn Itn-
jiortant message from (TShnuRtinosxy
began to tick In over tho Htntc Depart
ment wire. A special wire direct to
Mexico city hnd been set up for more
than two houra nnd nil official of the
Department had been anxiously nwalt
Ins the first sound of tho receiver.
Dnnlrl In Onrrnllnir rtnnni.
Recretnry Tumulty hurried from tho
White House over to the State Depart
ment and Secretary" of thn Navy Dan
iels Joined him at tho operating room
of the State Department. An expert
from tho Department translated tho ci
pher message) linn by lln a It camei
from the operator's typewriter.
O'Shaughnessy began by telling of
an Interview that he had at 4 o'clock
In the nfternoon, Mcxlvnn time, with
the Mexican Minister of Foreign Af- j
fairs. The suspense of those who were
waiting "was great an they followed lino
by lino tho translated despatch, with
out any Indication of what tho final
answer was to be.
After nbout half an hour of this read
ing of the O'Shaughnessy despatch
piecemeal, a point was reached where
the American charge snld that his con
ference with the Foreign Minister lasted
until 5 o'clock in the nfternoon, Mexi
can time, nnd thnt Minister I'ortlllo had
Informed him that Huerta had not yet
acceded to the American demands. This
left only an hour In which Huerta had
to answer tho President's ultimatum.
Secrctnry Daniels and Mr. Tumulty
had hardly recovered from the disap
pointment when another message from
O'Shatighnessy began to come In over
the wire. This was O'Shaughnessy's re
port on Hucrta's final answer:
MriMr noshed to Drynn.
The Secretary of the Navy and Mr.
Tumulty looked very serious ns they
emerged from the ofllce of tho Secre
tary of State with the report of Mr.
O'Shatighnessy with them. It was ap
parent that they had received bad news,
but they declined to make any state
ment until the text of the message had
been laid before Secretary Hryan. who
was at his home.
The Cabinet officer and Mr. Tumulty I nBaln ,hat ,n) VnM States was stand-hun-Ied
to a White House automobile , ing firmly behind Admiral Mayo's orlgl
and the driver started full speed toward I nal demand and would expect a definite
Secretary Bryan's home. Two policemen
standing at Thomas Circle gave chase,
but they were outdistanced and picked
up the taxicabs containing the news
paper men. who were trying to follow
the pace set by the White House ma
chine. Explanations quickly followed and
the policemen permitted the taxicabs
to proceed. -
When Secretary Daniels nnd Mr. Tu
Mkidtai lof1 n tViA I)rinn horn a a Innr '
idUAlj anil vu nfc iitv jji ; (tit ihmih, (
distance telephone wire had been set
up direct to 'the President's room at
White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. The i
O'Shaughnessy despatch was read to
the President and he Immediately de
clared that the Incident was closed. He
Instructed Mr. Tumulty to call a special
meeting of the Cabinet nt 10:30 o'clock
to-morrow morning and to make nr-
rangemcnts for a Joint serslon of Con-1
grcss at as earty an hour In the after-1
noon ns possible.
The President's secretary and Mr.
Daniels, accompanied by Secretary
Bryan, returned to the White House
automobile nnd were hurried back to
the executive offices. Them Secretary
Bryan prepared his statement of tho
negotiations and their conclusion, which
will be found In another column.
Operator nn Diitr All .N'luht.
The State. War and Navy departments
were astir before S o'clock this mornln-i.
Not since the days of the Spanish war have
there been such feverish excitement and
hustle among the clerks and officers In tho
great gray building.
All night long the lights had been burn
ing In the operating room of tho State
Department, where a telegrapher had
kept vigil waiting for messages from
Mexico city. In the next room an expert
translator was ready to decipher any com
munication that might reach the Depart
ment, a sentence at a time, and transmit
It by telephone to Secretary Bryan, who
had retired at his home with a telephone
at his bedside.
Only one message reached the Depart
ment In the courso nf the night from
Charge d'Affalres O'Shaughnessy at
Mexico city. It was the one referred to
In late bulletins to The Sun this morning.
In this communication O'ShauRhnessy
gave the details of the delivery to Huerta
of President Wilson's ultlmntum and nntl
lied the State Department that Huerta
had flhown signs of yielding, but would
Impnuo new conditions. O'Shniwhnessy
said that lluertn had raised the question
ns to how the United States could expect
him to render a salute, when President
Wilson had refused to recognize his Gov
ernment. Lang before President Wilson hail ar
rived at White Sulphur Springs a direct
who h.d been net up between the White
Hoi.te exicntlve ofllces nnd tho hotel nt
tho West Vlrslnla resort. The O'Hhaugh
i.ejsy despatch was Immediately sent by
Mr. Bryan to P.csldent Wilson.

Befoie tue President had r piled to this
despatch another had reached tho State
Department eiuly thin morning from
O'Shaughnessy. This was the one which
contalmd the deiliit Information that

WHERE THE U.
Map of Mexico, showing the territory held by the rebels and the principal ports on both coasts, where
it is
the American flair would be returned by
the nuns of an American warship.
It wss about 10 o'clock In the morn
ing when Secretary Bryan hurried to the
State Drpartment and began the prepara
tion of a reply to O'Shaughnessy. This
reply was of the same vigorous character
that marked yesterday's ultimatum to
Huerta. The Mexican dictator was given
to understand that this Government would
j make no concession In the way of a for
mal advance agreement In regard to the
firing of a return salute. 'He was told
reply from him by 6 o'clock.
Seeks to Embarrass Wilson.
It was apparent that the officials In
Washington were Inclined to regard this
latest move by Huerta as an effort fur
ther to embarrass this Government and
open the way for a controversy as to
recognlxed the Huerta Government
through the exchange of salutes. If
Huerta should obtain from the President
A formal miiitir.mrA In wrltlnt?. anv nmi.
ment that he might advance along this
line would be greatly strengthened. The'
President had this phase of the situation
In mind when he delivered his refusal.
After the despatch of Secretary
Bryan's answer to O'Shaughnessy there
were tense hours of waiting In Washing
ton. Tho scenes about the White Housa
reminded one of the memorable days
when the newspaper correspondents of
Washington were eagerly awaiting news
from the American warships that were to
crush the Spanish fleet off Santiago. They
had gathered to-day In large numbers at
the White House executive ofllces.
Secretary Tumulty, Assistant Secretary
Forster and many of the White House
clerks were at their desks ready to keep
the President Informed over the direct
wire of the smalhst developments In the
situation. The newspapers the country
over showed the keenest lnt rest In the
situation and the press associations and 1
special correspondents were busy all day I
Hashing bulletins on the deelopments.
Secretary of State Bryan, following the
sending of his despatch to O'Shaush- i
nessy, went to church. Before leaving l,
the State Department, however, he took
the precaution to Inform his messenger
where he could be found and left Instruc
tions that he was to be summoned from
the sendee If any Important news should
be received,
Snrr Arlators Ordered to HrnhnrU,
In the meantime the bureau chiefs In
the Navy Department had arrived at their
desks and soon after the despatch of Mr.
Bryan's answer orders were Iwlng Hashed
to Capt. William S. Sims, In command of
the HotllU of torpedo destroyers at Pen
sacola, to Join the Atlantic lleet and pro
ceed to Tampico. On the heels of this
order came another to the navy aviators
at Pensacola to embark with all of their
aeroplane equipment on board the Mis
sissippi. .More than 500 marines at Pen
sacola ulso were ordered to embark on the
Mississippi and Join thu 3,500 already at
Tampico.

! Washington. April 19. Congress will
assemble at noon to-morrow under cir
cumstances nltnost ns feverish ns those
which preceded the Spanish-American
war. Tho President will probably de
liver his address eaily In the afternoon,
unless Gen. Hueita should recede from
the attitude of refusal to salute. It was
said In nn ofllclal quarter to-night that
If Huerta relaxed nt tho last moment the
President's address would probably be In
definitely postponed.
No definite plans have been made for I
n Joint session of the two houses, but this
