Tele^fiaph to Independent
Washington,    .\pril    48.—President Huerta   Is   now   in   po.ssession   of   an I ultimatum   from   the   United     States Puller, Worcos- I grovernmeiit to the effect that he must of Shrew.sbury: Dean I agree to salute the .*merican flag be- ! fore 6 p.  m. to-morrow, in the man¬ ner originally proposed  'by    Admiral Mayo.
Tt is the opinion here that If ITuerta does not comply with this demand without any further quibbling -war be¬ tween the TTnlted States and Huerta's government   will  ensue.
Tlie substance of President 'Wilson's ultimatum to Huerta was made known in the following statement issued at the White House th's afternoon:
'General Huerta is still Insistin.g upon doing something less than has been demanded, and something less than would constitute an acknow¬ ledgement  that    his    representatives

CASEY RETURNS TO WASHINGTON
Hon.  John  J.  Ca.sey  leaves touight i for Washington to attend the session of the Mouse that may make  national history starting with tomorrow  night. "When   the   .Mexican   situation   took   its serious   turn   he   kept   In   touch   with the local  newspaper offices for devel¬ opments and last night was a caller at thc   office   of   The   Independent.     He , r, went over the wire report of what has j a< transpired   in   the   national   legislative body yesterday and stated that as the liouse  wa-s going into an    i.nportaiiit session  .Monday morning he would  be on hand to attend.
Asked as what his attitude on the war problem was he stated that he did not want war, but that as was customary he would sii.stain the President by his vote when the mat¬ ter came up for consideration. "Wil¬ son Is safe and sane and does not want war any niore than I do and if he calls for w-ar it is the last resort." was his concluding sta:ement on the matter.

I The nltimatui-n to Huerta was the I climax to-day of a series of rapid oe- I velopments and a frantic exchange of despatches.
Early in the da\- a message -wa« received saving that Huerta refused to order the salute at Tampico unless sjilvo would be returned simultaneous¬ ly by tiie .American battleships. .
President Wil.son immediately wired a refu.sal of this demand and In¬ formed Huerta that he must salute orixinalH^ prooosed by 6 o'clock to-morrow evening or the President w-ould take the matter into Congress.
President Wilson can obtain any action he desires fro-n Congress with regard to the .=ituation and it Is un¬ derstood that he wilt indicate that he considers it to be e.ssential to thf^ support of the national honor tliat war   be   declared.

(Telegraph to   Independent)
Washington, April 18.—A message received early this (Sunday) morning at the State Department from charge d'affaires O'Shaughnessy at Mexico City intimated that Huerta would not obey the ultimatum of President Wilson.
"I do not see why I should obey President Wilson and fire a salute for the Mexican nation when President Wilson does not recognize me as the head of such na¬ tion," was the paraphrase of the message received here.
Tbe message was telephoned from the State Department to the home of Secretary of State Bryan.
Secretary Bryan gave out a statement saying that the message was encourag¬ ing, but not final. « ^
