Ell Paso, Tex, May 10.-GeneraI
francisco l. Madero, Jr., late last
night explained the causes of the
attack on Juarez and the conflicting
interpretations which have been put
on his leadership. He attributed the
attack principally to the vague prom
ises of President Diaz in his manifes-
to as opposed to the very promises
which the revolutionists made to the
federal government. Senor Madero's
statement follows:

statement about that which took place
yesterday, and will do SO with frank
ness. A skirmish of my outposts with
the enemy and a quick retirement OF
the latter from their position inspired
a few of my brave troops to pursue
their victory, though sustained by a
much smaller number. Once within
