BATTLE AT DURANGO;
 RESULT NOT KNOWN

MEXICO CITY MAY 9.-with the exception of a brief report from Ma yarro the Mexican officials are de- pendent upon the press dispatches for news of the Juarez battle. In ths streets Of the city the men have divi- ded their time between business and reading extras and holding conyer- sations regarding the latest develop ments. On all sides the situation is discussed as freely as a political campaign in the United States.
 Increased Activity.
 With the exception of those in the district south of the capital there appear to be increased activities in the rehel fCrces in all parts of the country. Meagre reports reaching the capital from the states of Dur ango. COahuila and Vera Cruz tell of fighting in Torre)A, Cnlhu..a and Tux~ar, a small port north of Vera Cruz.

time that Zelaya carried with him from Nicaragua fortune. ill gutt,.n. of from s25.OO0.O0O to sS5 COS. .O0O. This money had been ex.or.ed from the people of the country hy var ious means of taxation. It .ad been deposited first as public nIu Is and was theo stolen from the treasury.
 It Is this money that ls ,so avail able in financing the new revosur ton. By its uss r. Espin' a. :. .Cld> ing to recent official ingc s;igntioh, expects to raise an army of suffi- cient strength to overthrow rs Es- tnada administration and again se- cure control Of the republic tor ms friend Zelaya, or for himself.
 Uncle Sam Opposes War.
 The United States governmeGt has already taekn steps to prevent further civil strife in Nicaragua. The American minister to Salvador has been directed to obtain definite in formation of Dr. Espino=a's prss- ence and purposes in Salvador, and to remind the government of thst
 
 pects 1t to meet it streaty obl.ga- tions and prevent it's territory from heinz useS as a tsse for a revoir- ton directed against a neigAbor;ng state.
 It is now the opinion of state ce- partmnet officials that the only eo lution of the ever recurring difficul- ties in Nicaragua lies in the nero tistion Of a treaty between that country similar to the one between the United States and Honduras, now pending before the senate.
 Such a pact would guarantee the payment of Nicaragua's debts by the application of customs houss Ie ceipts collected under the nominal supervision of the United States. This would give the United States just enough control Of the Central American state to prevent the rev. olntiorists from capturing the GUS toms houses.
 No Money. No War.
 If the hore of financial reward is rerroved, there world be fewer rev olutions in Nicaragua, in the opin- ion Of the department. That is. if enerPetic and ambitious citizens found that by overthrowing the ad- nInistration then in power, they would not be in a rosition to col lect the revenues, they would hes itate longer about revolting. The public treasury Is the single object of all uprisings.
 Already an agreement similar to that recently negotiated with Hon. turas, has been proposed to the Es- trada administration now in control of the government. It has not been favorably received up to this time, but if the president of that state sees that his regime Is threatened by Fspinoza he will. it Is thoTgAt, be more inclined to give the United States an excuse for protecting his treasury.

 Maderofs Statement
 FL PASO. May 9.-Cs7 Ns4ero late tonight issued a statement eX- blaming the causes of the attack on Juarez and the conflicting interpreta- tions which have teen put on his lea6ershin. He attrilNitAd the attack nrincirallv to the vague promises of Diaz in his manifesto as opposed to the very rrona'ses uhich 'he re--"i''- tionists received from the federal government.
 Msdero's statement says:
 q ought to make statement ahont that which has taken place yesterday ard will do so with frank ness. The skirmish of my ottpoets with the erer,v ar5 Is~ ---'-'- retire ment of the latter fro~' t~e'- ~--' tions inspired a few of my brave troors 10 rurspe their victory.

 Afterwards. not having arranged a cessation of hostil'ties and having received the news of the manifesto of Diaz, which was very vap7ie and -rertIiste's divers irtrrTretations. wished to ~Ee advantaee of my mill tary advantages in the attack on JuaItz."
 Madero then explains how the at- tack came to be made in a body and 'nishes thus:
 With reference to khe negotia- tons for reace al-avs nauifested my disvositIOn to carry them to a conclusion and if they are not arriv- cd at it WIS not tN~0ugh ~v- anh'- ion. but because the promises Of Oiaz in his manifesto are vague and tpere is little hone they will he ful- He'd if we take into consideration that he has laughed at promises much C.Ore precise
