Ell PASO, April 20.-Fiercer
and more momentous than any
clash up to this time in the Mex
lean revolution will be the battle
of Juarez, which, unless all signs
fail, will open tonight in the town
across the Rio Grande from Ell
Paso.
The insurgent commanders to-
day formally notified Coils. Sharp
and Steever, In command of the
United States troops here, United
States Consul Edwards and Mayor
Kelly Of Ell Paso, that they expect
ed to attack Juarez Immediately
after o'clock this evening, at
which hour the time limit of Ma
dero's ultimatum to Gen. Navar-
ro expires. The insurrectos urged
that the American authorities take
every precaution to keep Ameri-
cans away from the boundary line.
They said they wished, If possible,
to fnflict no damage ON American
lives or property and asked CO.

DIAZ IS
SAUCY
BLAMES AMERICANS FOR
MOST OF BORDER TROU-
BLES.

(By United Press Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, d. c.. April 20.
State and war department Of
ficials here today are agog
through the receipt of unofficial
information that the reply of
President Diaz to President Taft's
note regarding fighting on the
border, is sharp retort, and In no
way pacific in its tone.
1t is reported that Diaz, in his
statement, strives to create the
impression that the Mexican rev.
olutionary forces are mostly Amer
leans. 1t is said the note does
not promise to protect Americans,
but merely repeats old army or
ders and blames Americans for the
border troubles. 1t Is said to
charge that Lieutenant Tronsoro.
of the federals, was wounded at
Aqua Prieta by bullet which was
fired from the American customs
house.
Special complaint is also made
against Major Gardner" COM
commanding at Douglas, alleging
that he interfered In the combat
there on behalf of the rebels. The
reply, it is said, also cites the fact
that rebel, whose gun was out
OF order, crossed the border,
where it was repaired by an Amer
ican soldier.
