THE SITUATION AT EL PASO. EL PASO, TEXAS, April. 21. Con siderable excitement was apparent in Juarez tonight. The general attitude of the rebel officials appears to be that so long as the Unites States confines its representatives - measures : against the Huerta gobemment to a blocade of ports held by Huerta, the rebels will not resent it, but at the first firing a shot. against Mexico the rebels will resent it with arms.. In the event of a blockade against the port of Juarez, and other ports . held by t the rebels, they appear to be generally, of the op inion . that they . would -be 'forced to resent it with arms. ., . ,';,j ' A. nilitary. giiard has been placed over -.the. waterworks, - reservior, ; and various telephone offices in the city of El Paso. Tie gas and electric plants have been finder military guard for several months. NEW BERN, aN.
