Experts Salute of Mexican Flag Sparks Navy Row
Washington officials rejected General Huerta’s call for a simultaneous salute to the American and Mexican flags. President Wilson insisted on a twenty one gun salute to the Mexican flag, with the return salute by the U S Navy to be fired to the Mexican people, not Huerta’s government. The action follows Mayo’s April 9 demand and Tampico incidents.
