6 U. S. DEMANDS THAT HUERTA SALUTE OUR FLAG Spain Has Placed Safety of Her Subjects in Mexico Entirely in Hands of U. S. WASHINGTON, April 12 Washing ton officiais and diplomats were specu- Jating to-night on the outcome of two conferences to be held this week, one in this city between President Wilson and his personal representative in Mexico, John Lind, and the other at Torreon between General Venustiano Carranza, first chief of the Constitutionalists, and General Villa, thé victorious rebel army leader P'resident Wilson will return to the capital to-morrow from his week-end trip to West Virginia Mr. Lind is coming up the coast from Vera Cruz aboard the yacht Mayflower, and, though no word has been received from the vacht since she left Mexican waters, he is expected to reach here Tuesday About the time Mr. Lind is making his report to the President, the Mexican rebel leaders will be meeting for the first time since the days of the Madero revolution, and on this confer ence much is believed to depend. Offi clals here think that a face to face talk hetween Carranza and Villa will result in a clearer understanding concerning the rights of foreigners in Mexico, and especially their privilege of pressing claims through American consular offi cers, No News Received. No news from the scene of war came to-day to either the War or Navy De partment. The Navy Department also was without a final report from Rear Admiral Mayo on the outcome of his de mand that the Mexican federal com mander at Tampico salute~the Stars and Stripes as a part of his apology for the affront to America in the arrest of United States marines, Officials de clared, however, that no anxiety was felt over this matter, as assurances had been given that proper reparation would be made. It was reported to-night that import ant dispatches had come to the State Department from Mexico City. Secre tary Bryan said, however, that he had nothing whatever to give out. The Sec retary commented on the absence of press reports from the Mexican capital, and remarked that apparently a rigid censorship was being exercised. He bad nothing to say about the possible cause of this. No one is predicting that any change of policy on the part of the United States Government will follow Mr. Lind’'s report to the President, although it is realized that the problems involved in Mexico have undergone radical changes since Mr. Lind went up from Vera Cruz 10 see the President at Pass Christian during the New Year holidays. Expulsion of Spaniards. One of the results of the Torreon meeting is expected to be a reply to the State Department's latest representa tions, especially in the case of Spaniards exiled from Torreon. Although Carran za has told the Department that he is| not disposed to interfere with Villa's course toward the Spaniards, there is a frankly expressed expectation that this stand may be modified. Should the two rebel leaders decide to pay no heed to Secretary Bryan's de mand that the cases of all Spaniards be settled on their individual merits the United States will be confronted with a problem of the greatest gravity, since Spain has placed the safety of her sub jects .in Mexico in the hands of the United States, REBEL FORCES YIELD, SANTO DOMINGO, April 12.—Rebel forces that have occupied the citadel at Santiago have surrendered to the Government.

Skilled indirectness is beginning to give place to skilled directness in woman's ways as well as in in ternational diplomacy. “The chief difference betwecn the new woman and her prede cessors is that the new woman finds it harder to be sure of eter nal truths without knowing more mundane facts than did her an cient prototype. Even for mak ing smail talk eternal truths are somewhat threadbare, and need concrete, up-to-date lustra tions. “Gjovernor Hughes (now Jus tice) and many others have said that women may have the ballot as soon as they want it. Presi dent Taft said to a national con ference of women at Washington in 1910: ‘Your task is not in con vincing man, but in convincing your own class.’ “But whether the majority of women want to vote is not the question which demands answer, however important it may be in theory. The handful of women who are active in demanding the ballot as a matter of abstract right and public expediency are so managmng the handful of men who are responsible for party de cisions that the vote will soon-be “given to women. “It is not worth while discuss ing now what fraction of women want to vote.

If the Mexicans promise to salute the flag, that will do for the present; -if they refuse, we will have to resort to other measures.” ~ What these measures would be, the Secretary of the Navy declined to say, but it is believed they will include a naval demonstration, possibly of the entire Atlantic fleet, off Tampico.
