BOTH SIDES EXPECTING REIN JUDGEMENTS.
RAGING TO GET THERE
1000 FederaIs Coming and $50 insur-
 reetos-American Soldiers Hold Up
 q Msxicans Trying to Gross River.

El Paso, Tex, Feb. S.-By way of variation it is safely predicted that Juarezs will not be attacked tonight. Whether it is called upon to defend itself at all, seemingly depends upon whether Navarro, at the head of one thousand federals from Chihuahua, or Jose De La Lex Bianco with 35U irls,ir- reetos from Casas Grandes arrives first.
 A rumor reached here today that Navarro had met with reverse, but it was only a. rumor. Wires being down, it could not be investigated. One story was that train on which he was travelling had been blown up, and another had it that General Blanco had met and defeated him. With ref erence to the Blanco rumor it is inn probable, for his forces are numerical ly inferior to those of the federal lead- er
 If Navarro reaches Juarez first, is would be. folly, apparently, sor Orozco to attack, even with the asslstance of CO.,.

 American soldiers and national guardsmen detained a total of 27 Mex jeans who were attempting to cross the river to the rebel camp. The troops here. are numerically adequate to the task of guarding the entire river front.
 The soldierly Americans contrast sharply with the slouching, i'll kempt federals One may see specimens of both armies at the street car bridge; the Americans, clean sl1aven, erect neatly garbed, changing the guard with alert precision; the Mexicans parch- ment-colored peons and impressed convicts in dingy, .baggy, dirty, blue and imitation leather caps stoop .shoul- dered, struggling about in apathy.
 Governmental measures to suppress news have not ceased. The measures began after the publication two months ago of accounts of the execution by federal soldiers of wounded prisoners and civilians at Cerro Prieto. An American newspaper man was detain- ed for nearly an hour at the Juarez jail yesterday to explain, it was al- legged, what he was doing on the Mex ican side without permit. Today it was discovered that there had been no such dispnesations and will be none. Cameras are likewise tabooed on the Mexican side.

 The reciprocity matter l1as moved into the foremost place in the legtsla- tive proGT4mme, and the president shows every disposition to keep it there If he can. It 1s said upon excellent authority that MT. Taft believes the present oonfiress will act favorably in both housss upon the agreement, and that thsFU Will be no necessity for an extra sossion.
