Juarez, May 20.-Madero today
gave the following statement to the
United Press. Copyright, 1911, by
the United Press:
Il am sure we will not commit
President Diaz's mistakes, because
all who~belong to our revolution are
guided by highly patriotic sentiment
and not personal interest. Further
more, the Mexican people won't en-
dure another tyrant like DiaZ. Hav-
Ing suffered thirty years the people
will not again permit themselves to
be deprived of their rights Our pa
triotism can better be testified to by
others than ourselves.
You ask: Will the Mexican peo-
pie be able to conduct the govern
ment similar to the American gov
ernment. The Mexican constitu-
ton is very similar to the American,
but the Mexican people are not ac-
customed to Democratic practices. ;"
Insurgents Restless.
Sentiment in favor of marching
on Chihuahua was whispered today
among the Mexican insurgents near
and about Juarez. Despite the peace
assurances of President Diaz and
General Madero, there is strong in
dication that the hostilities will be
continued.

WILL SETTLE
FOR $I7,5OO
Aldermen Decide Powers
Property Proposition.

AS an alternate proposition to that of
Joseph E. Stricker for the settlement
of taxes on the old Staten Island Ter
ra Gotta Works property in Spa Spring
road, the Board of Aldermen last night
received the report Of the committee
on taxation to the effect that $17,500
be accepted by the city as fair set
tlement of taxes against the property
Mr.. Stricken has offered $1,000 and the
board adds $1O,500 to this amount as
counter proposition.
On investigation, it is understood
that the aldermen found that 10000
was the sum which seemed to be the
working basis against the property.
Other money, representing interest and
taxes on personal property in an ad-
vanced stage Of deterioration, was no
ted to the total of about $4,000. To
settle the matter up and in recognition
of the factory proposition which the
Powers Company is making in asking
for a tax compromise it was decided
to cut off the personal taxes and in
terest and figure interest on $4,000,
which seemed to the true working bas-
is. Five thousand, five hundred was
added, accordingly as interest and the
board will meet Monday night prepar-
ed to settle with Mr.. Stricker for
$17,500.
