A VISITOR'S STATEMENTS,

DESPOTISM OF PRESIDENT DIAZ

FINANCED BY AMERICANS,

Sydney, March 16. Professor Mills, of America, an authority on Mexican affairs, in an interview, declared that President Diaz 'was a despot financed by American money throughout his career. He represented big interests of American and European capitalists as against the financial interests of his own country. The rebellion was the final outbreak of the people against a long series of outrages. The leader of the insurrection, Madero, was a highly educated and wealthy ranch owner. Profossor Mills believes that tho revolution will succeed, but that the United States may suppress tho new Government. If so, American capitalists will seek to extend the authority of the United States Government over all Mexican affairs.
