Huerta Must Salute Flag.
Washington. April 14.—Presi
dent Wilson today ordered vir
tually the entire Atlantic fleet
to Mexican waters to force a
public salute to the stars and
stripes from the Huerta gov
ernment as an apology for the
arrest of American bluejackets
at Tampico last Thursday.
No ultimatum has been issu
ed, that is, no specified time has
been set within which the Huer
1 ta government must comply, but
1 he naval demonstration has
been ordered as an evidence of
the fixed deaermination of the
i United States to back up Rear
j Admiral Mayo’s demand for a
! salute. Up to tonight General
| Huerta had not made satisfac
tory response to that demand,
j “Future developments depend
! on Huerta himself,” was the way
a high administration official,
! close to the president, summariz
ed the situation.
The decision to send the fleet
; was reached after the president
and Secretary Bryan had con
ferred for an hour with John
Lind, personal representative of
| the president in Mexico, and
after a two-hour cabinet meet
ling, during which dispatches
from Charge O’Shaughnessy re
vealed that the Huerta govern
mem disputed rue rigrn or a
merican bluejackets to be a
shore at Tampico and contended
| that its recent public statement
of apology is ample.
ORDERS BY WIRELESS.
Immediately after the cabin
et meeting adjourned Seeretary
Daniels issued his order to the
Atlantic fleet.
It will be the largest fighting
force the American government
has assembled for possible ac
tion since the Spanish-Ameri
can war. Eleven great battle
ships with auxiliaries carrying
in all about 15,000 men, will
comprise the force off Tampico.
Everywhere, at the White
House, the State Department
and Navy Department, the hope
is expressed that the dispatch of
the fleet will not lead to serious
consequences. It is predicted a
mong administration officials
that Genera Huerta will satisfy
the American demand and close
the incident. Officials said that
negotiations with the Huerta j
government had not ended and .
that the way is still open to
General Huerta to make a
mends.
The Navy Department sent
complete instructions to Rear
Admiral Badger, commander-in-1
chief of the Atlantic fleet, on 1
board the Battleship Arkansas
at Hampton Roads.

Committee Hears Both.
Special to Independent,
f Little Rock, April 15.— The
Democratic State Central Com'-;
mittee arrived at no decision
Tuesday, having adjourned un
til 9 a. m. today.
This was done to enable a sub
committee of five niembers ap
pointed for that purpose an. op
portunity to tabulate the returns
from the various counties, par
ticularly in the contest for
United States Senator.
There are two contests before
the committee, that of Judge W.
F. Kirby against James P.
Clarke for United States Sena
tor and that of T. J. Raney
against T. E. Wood for Rail
road Commissioner of the
Northeastern district.
Judge Kirby filed his formal
contest Tuesday morning, al
leging fraud in Poinsett coun
ity, and asking that he be de
clared the nominee. At the af
ternoon session Senator James
P. Clarke submitted his answer,
j The answer was read by Sen
ator Clarke himself, and sign
ed by his counsel, J. H. Car
michael, C. T. Coleman and W.
M. Lewis.
i
j Senator Clarke said that he
courted the most thorough and
prompt investigation of all al
legations of fraud, but said that
if the committee decided that it
could open the question of al
leged fraudulent votes in Poin
sett county, he should be given
an opportunity to file a supple
mentary answer seting forth al
leged irregularities in other
counties where the results as an
nounced are not favorable to
him.
Judge Kirby declared that he
would throw no obstacle in the
way of a complete and thorough
investigation, in fact that he is
anxious for the books to be o
pened everywhere, that all pos
sible light might be thrown upon
the election. But he nor his
counsel had yet been able to get
a view' of the poll-books, tally
sheets and ballots in the Poin
sett county election, and he
thought the issue w'ould never
be settled until these had been
examined that the truth might
be known.
Senator Clarke, w'hile he made
no charges or irregularity, said
that a casual examination had
revealed the fact that in Little
River county 413 votes had been
cast more than there are poll
tax receipts reported, in Ouachi
ta over 300, in Nevada over 400,
and similar conditions exist in
other counties. If Poinsett
county is to be opened on that
question, he insists that the
same course should be pursued
in other counties.
There was a perlimlnary vote
test vote in the committee on
the selection of a member to
take the place of W. H. Rector,
formerly of Fort Smith, now of
Little Rock. He nominated Vin
cent Miles of Fort Smith, a
Clarke man, J. D. Head of Mil
ler county, nominated Joe M.
Johnson, of Ashdown, a Kirby
man, and Miles was elected by a
vote of 15 to 10.
The sub-committee to tabulate
the returns are, J. H. Parker of
Ouachita, Vincent Miles of
Fort Smith, June Wooten of Pu
laski, W. G. Hutton, the secre
tary, and W. F. Coleman of Jef
ferson.
In his contest Judge Kirby rep
resents that according to the of
ficial returns from all the coun
:ies with the exception of Poin
sett, as declared by the chair
man and secretaries of the vari
ous central committees, he has
received a majority of all the
rotes cast of 855.
Senator Clarke denies there
was any change made in the
Poinsett county returns, or any
fraud perpetrated, and that the
county cast 1,521 votes for him
and 450 for Judge Kirby.
