[Circular telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, April 18, 1914, 1 p.m.

The following statement was given out from the White House at noon today:

General Huerta is still insisting upon doing something less than has been demanded and something less than would constitute an acknowledgment that his representatives were entirely in the wrong in the indignities they have put upon the Government of the United States. The President has determined that if General Huerta has not yielded by six o’clock on Sunday afternoon, he will take the matter to Congress on Monday.
