Ell Paso, Texas, Nov. 20.-This city
was greatly excited early today by
sounds of firing at JuareZ, at first sup
posed to be an attack by Reyestas or
the federal garrison. 1t developed
that the discharge of firearms was in
cidental to celebration by the garri
son of the anniversary of the Maderc
revolution which ended in driving Por.
firio Diaz from the presidency of the
Mexican republic.

an hour or more the number of shots
fired being estimated at thousand

slumbers and flocked to the bridges
and the river bank to witness, il pos
sitle. what they felt sure was battle.

the knowledge that the Juarez garri-
son has been on the alert for some
sudden development in connection
with reports of revolutionary activi.
ties in which the name of General
Reyes, now under arrest by the Unit.
ed States government, has been par
ticularly connected.
The Mexican officials doubled pre-
cautions after the arrival of General
Reyes, fearing that that act might
precipitate trouble. The feeling OF
anxiety over the. situation spread in
a modified degree to the American
side of the Rio Grande.

possible for reporters to cross the
river, the true situation was disclosed
It was learned in addition that 100
reinforcements arrived from Chihua-
hua in time to participate in the ami
versary celebration. Considerable sig

ers to the fact that the government
has deemed it wise to strengthen the
