HIj PASO. Texas, April 21. Move
ment by fiiio rebels from the hills to

Is believed to be tho beRlnulliKof evolu
tions prceeedliiK tho nttnek on Juarez,
which was slated for 3 o'clock.
There was a council of war nt Mnd

sidered and accepted h ytho Insurrccto
Itaders. There Is every reason to be
lieve tlmt Madoro's nuns will open on

Battle at Three.
Tlmt the crack of rifles, tho Btipttcr
of machine kuiih and tho boom of can
non would wake tho echoes over Juarez
before sundown was tho Konernl belief
here today and Ul Paso, wltlnervet. on
imIbo, anxiously awaited tho comliiK o

With dawn this mornliiK Bcores of EI
Pasous hastened to tho Hlo Orando,
oaKor to seo whether thero had boon
any move on tho part of tho federals
or the rebels whoso battle linen stretch
throuKh the hills west and south of

however, ami all appearances weio that
both sides worn unlet fy nwultlnK tho
decision by Diaz which will end tho
difficulty or turn lose tho doss of war.
Staz Will I7ot Yield.
Opinion here was general tlmt Diaz
would not yield and that tho battle
would be fotiKht. Following tho refusal
of Gen. Navano to surrender without
direct distinctions from Mexico City,
the American troops here today made
every piepnratlou to maintain n strong
double cordon along tho north bank of
ilvcr, close enough to It tu take In a
pint of the buildings on the American
side. If the troops can pievent It, not
a single resident of 131 Paso will bo al
lowed to pass this barrier, onco tho
firing begins. In this way, It was hop
ed, the danger of casualties would bo
greatly ledutetl.
Bullets Will Hit El Faso.
The chief source of apprehension hero
was that an attack might bo made upon
Juaie; by the icbel command tying to
waul Hutiche. .Should they open fire
on the .Mexican town some of their bul
lets Ninety would full In 121 Paso, and
the feeling here wns so high that If

gravest danger that rifles would begin
