Ell PAso. MAY s.--Gen. Juan Navarro.
the commander in chief in Juarez. sent
q message this morning to the American
Consul in Juarez. long before the day 9
hight was under way, protesting against
firing on Mexican Federal troops from
the American side Of the border" IL
was not previously known that any shoot
ing had been done from this side and il
isn't known now. Opinions vary as
to whether the General was bluffing or
whether his soldiers had mistaken the
quarter from which the earliest insur-
recto fire emsnated. The Consul replied
that u any one on this side WAS detected
taking pot shots across the river he would
be promptly clapped i'm jail.
Col. r.. n. Steever, who commands the
American forces hereabout. sent note
or protest in his turn 10 Gen. Navarro
about O'Clock this afternoon. He pro-
tested both formally and emphatically
against the deadly rain which had been
falling all over FL Paso from the Me xican
side. He gave notice that all the bullets
that fell in FL Paso were undoubtedly
from Federal rifles The positions Of
the insurrectos were such that bullets
fired by them could not possibly come
across the river. Col. Steever. however,
70 be quite impartial. filed a similar pro-
test with Madaro.
