Blames
Diaz for Attack.

FL Paso May 9.-Francisco 1. Madero.
Jr., late tonight issued statement ex-
planning the cause for the attack on Ju-
arez and the conflicting interpretations
which have been put on his leadership.
He attributes the attacH principally to
the vague promises of President Diaz in
his manifesto as opposed to the precise
promises of the revolutionists to the FED
eral government. The statement says:
Il ought to make a statement about
that which has taken place yesterday
and will do so with frankness. Skin
mish 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 much smaller number.
"Once within the city their ranks how
ever were increased by number of sym
pathizers whom they met among the peo-
pie and who unitedly awaited the first
signal of attack to unite with my forces

CAPITAL JOTTiNGS.

In an order issued Tuesday, the In
terstate Commerce Commission again
directs attention to the law that no
false entries shall be made upon bills
of lading or other railroad records.
The order was based upon shipments
of cotton, about which many irreg-
ularities have existed, and numerous
frauds perpretated. The commission
says that possession by compress hav-
ing only contractual relation with car
riers, is not possession by the car
riers, and bills of lading should not
be issued. except upon evidence of
actual possession by the carrier. The
order provides that each bill of lad
ing issued in exchange for an ar
other bill of lading shall bear a stamp
indicating concretely the nature of
the exchange with points of origin.
destination, and time of making the
exchange, so that all shipments, par
ticuiarly of cotton, may be traced
easily.

Adopted at Bangor-Some Burned Dis
trict Streets to Be Changed.

Bangor, Me, May 9-At its regular
meeting tonight the city council adopted
without dissent new code of building
laws which is a radical change from the
old ordinance. New fire limits were de-
fined and it is provided that within these
limits no wooden building shall be erected
and none of that description that shall
be damaged to the extent of more than
half its value above foundations shall be
rebuilt. The new code also requires that
new buildings within the fire limits shall
be fiat rooted, that all cornices window
frames and sashes shall be of metal and
that all skyllghts and all windows except
those fronting on the street shall be of
wire glass. Many other requirements of
construction, exterior and interior. are
made
The insurance on buildings destroyed in
the fire of April 81. amounting to more
than $l.5G0000, has nearly all been paid,
and besides this there is ample capital
for rebuilding. Many permits have been
issued for temporary structures of wood,
not over IA feet high. to be removed on
or before Jan. /, 1872 and also for per-
manent structures. but many other per-

Navarro VIII Die
Before Surrender!
n r. N !

Mexico City, May 81 will die be-
fore 1 will surrender. So long as have
soldiers to defend my position in
Juarez I will not deliver the city to
the rebels" With these words Gen.
Navarro today closed his report to the
department of war on the battle of
Juarez. He declared this to be the mesa
sage returned to Madero in reply to
his demand for the surrender of the
city.
Placing all confidence in the aged
warrior, government officers were con-
fident tonight that he would succeed
in holding the city until tine arrival of
the columns of Rabago from Terraces
and Cordillo Escudero from Mulato.
Should the garrison fail to withstand
the attack, however, the government
holds that the taking of the place
would be but d minor incident after all.
They believe that the advancing re-
Inducements will reach JuareZ long
before the rebels could be in coalition
to fight again and that the place would
then be retaken.

tinued to betray the keenest interest

ranking rebel leader in the South, who
captured Iguala last week, today left
the capital to tell him Of mis- success in
negotiating terms. Prof. Figueroa is
confident that his brother and his fol-
lowers will accept them.
The rebels under the agreement are TO
retain control of Iguala and they will
have full share In the conduct of local
affairs in their state, including the cleo
ton of new governor. on their part
the rebels promise to disband and return
home. They also agree that they will

The insurreetos tonight control the
river bank and are aiding refugees, es-
pecially women and children, in reach
ing places OF safety. They have taken
possession of many stores and are pro-
curing food in the houses where they
have quartered themselves.

sufficient ammunition and provisions
to hold out at least a week against the

Some of the enthusiastic rebel po-
litical leaders in El Paso. who thought
that Juarez had been taken, sent COM
munications to Gen. Navarro suggest
ing that he surrender the town in the
interest of humanity.
The old general smiled when he re-
ceived these requests and continued
to give orders to his staff. Gen. Ma
varro was reported to have been seen
walking about the streets, directing
the fighting, but Tnsurrectos deny this.
Members of the Insurrecto army are
known to be watching for the Federal

to shoot him, they will try TO take him
