main structure.
The police and fire departments
stated the flames are beyond con

morn in?.
All the wealthy guests reaped, but
many were without their valuables.
No one was reported injured.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
WASHINGTON, April IS. The

States has faced since the Spanish
American war looms ahead. Unless

.Mayo s demand for a twenty-one-gun
ilute before six o'clock Sunday eve
ning to the American flag at Tam
pico, the president will go personally
before a joint session of congress on
Monday and ask for the authority to
use the army and navy for such
steps as may be necessary.
Huerta may actually fire the sa
lute before six o'clock, which would

This final word went to Mexico
City, after Huerta. parleyed for tho
last time and reiterated his demand
for a ''simultaneous salute." Leaders
m congress said the president would
be clothed immediately with all the;
authority necessary to take action.
The seizure of Vera Cruz and Tam
pico and of the Mexican warships in
these waters and of the section of
railroad leading from Vera Cruz to
Mexico City as far as the trestle
twenty miles west of Vera Cruz and
a Pacific blockade are features of the
plan of action the president outlined
!to. his. closest, advisers.. Such, a
(course of action authorities on inter
national law describe as "short of
i war," but not an act of war. Huerta,
I however, might construe it as one.
i The climax came with dramatic in
tensity when the third message wa
received from Huerta insisting on his
own conditions for a simultaneous
salute. A conference of the president
and his cabinet resulted in a prompt
decision to brook no more temporiz
ing or dilatory tactics.
Allowing five hours as the average,

and leave at night, reaching the capi

evasiveness and his desperate condition

point of view, especially on account of
tiie recent rebel victories, have, led
many high officials to believe he will
defy the Fnited States and take his
chances on the consequences through
which the national spirit might be
