HARRY THAW WINS HIS FIGHT TO PROVE SANITY
Huerta Given Three More Days in
Which to Decide to Salute
» s
American Flag.
MEXICO CITY, April 14 —Nelson
(’Shaughnessy, American Charge
d'Affaires, received a long cablegram
from Washington early to-day that
is believed to contain the final and
peremptory demand from the Unit
ed States Government for the salute
to the flag by Mexicans at Tam
pica as complete reparation for the
arrest of the United States marines
there, .
Charge O'Shaughnessy refused .o
reveal the contents of the message,
but it is reported that it extended
the limit to three days in which
President Huerta may reach a de
cision as to what action he will
take. This three-day period will
end at 6 p. m. Thursday.
Minister of War Blanquet refused
to comment to-day on the Vera Cruz
dispatches that quote General Gus
tavo Maas as stating that the Amer
ican flag would not be saluted by
the Tampico soldiers, but attaches
of the War Department intimated
that General Maas would have the
full backing of his superiors, “even
if President Huerta ruled other
wise.” This last statement indicat
ed that friction has arisen between
General Blanquet and the President.
It was regarded as significant in
this connection that General Blan
quet was the first to leave the Cabi
net meeting held at the National
Palace Monday morning.
The Minister of War was appar
ently in a towering rage, failing to
notice the saluting guards on duty
at the palace.
It was afterward rumored that
President Huerta had told his Min
isters that he would order the Tam
pico commander, General Zaragoza,
to comply with Rear Admiral Mayo's
demand for a salute, but that Gen
eral Blanquet had refused to sanc
tion such a course, and had warpred
Huerta that if he yielded a new
head would have to be found for the
deparument.,

Campo, executed a strategic coup on
Monday and withdrew from San Pe

ryv K. Thaw has won his fight for a
writ of habeas corpus. Federal Judge
Edgar Aldrich, of the United States

ceecings under which the State of

the United States can pass upon the
court decision.

main in the custody of the court un
ti} his lawyers can apply for ba'l at
the bar of the highest court,
