Mexico City, June 8-Earnestly can vassing the best methods of giving eff feet to those principles which the pres ent political situation in Mexico has pro mulgated, Provisional President De Ls Barra and Francisco I. Madero sat alone for nearly three hours today in Chapu tepec castle, the presidential palace, ant had heart-to-heart talk about the course of events that Is to precede the nationa elections next fall.
 It was a most satisfactory talk, ac- cording to the versions of both men and had the effect, incidentally, of clear ly defining the relation of Citizen Ma dero to the chief executive.
 To an Associated Press representative whom he received at the castle after the talk was concluded President De La Bar ra declared:
 "Senor Madero recognized the legality of my position, the fact that I am in- vested by the constitution with the re- source of dictative functions; but l rec ognize in him also the leader of large political party. We understood one an- other we'll and I am happy to tell you that I feel confident of being able to report to congress when it reconvenes in September the complete restoration of peace in the republic.'
 President De La Barra paid high trib- ute to the personality of Madero, say ing he was man of good sense" and good public spirit.

 'I used to think my task at Wash = ington was difficult" he said, smilingly to the correspondent, but the diplo- of last March seems as nothing now to the pressing business of the moment.p
 President De La Barra was asked what he thought about the policy of the United States since the inception of the difficulties.
 Praises United States
 Well" he replied, without hesita- tion, q have nothing but praise for the conduct of the United States. When left Washington I assured President Taft that though I could not be cer- tain of the ways or means, was con fident that peace soon would be re- stored in Mexico That was hardly three months ago, but within that pe- riod as well as previously the attitude of the administration in the United States appears to have been guided by the highest desires of friendliness.
 Tn fact. now that the revolution is over, I am glad to applaud the calm and sagacious policy of the United States. It was a strong practical proof to us that the friendship of the United States for Mexico has been and will be ieai and sincere"
 As he spoke a messenger brought a letter which President De La Barra read slowly and with great interest.
 'It is from General Reyes" he said. He will be here tomorrow early. and peace"
 "Do you think General Reyes will be candidate in the next elections?'' he was asked.
 q don't know. I can only speak for myself. I shall not be a candidate fer any office."
 As to his future plans, President De La Barra asserted he probably would retire 10 private life.
 The ipfprVieW interrunfp5 I,1yt bo arrival of an aide who reminded Presi- dent De La Barra that the hour for his review of the cadets of the national mili- tary academy nearby had arrived.
 Escorted by his staff in full dres uni form, Senor De La Barra walked slowly away to the parade grounds, where he watched the maneuvers of the cadets for neaFly an hour.
 As the cadets were drilling, there ar rived a small coterie of visitors who at tracted much interest. In the party were Julio Madero and Angela Madero, a brother and sister of Francisco, l: Ma dero; General Giusepp Garibaldi, chief of staff to Madero and one of the heroes of the battle of Juarez, and Lieut.. Col. Ed uardo Hay, who lost an eye in the battle of Casas Grandes and afterward made a sensational escape from the federal hos pital in Chihuahua.
 When President De La Barar entered the academy for inspection, some of the officers who remained with the cadets in front of the long rows of military, rest ing under arms, greeted the party and chatted several minutes with them
 Madero expressed satisfaction at the result of his interview with the presi- dent At his home in Colonia Juarez the former rebel leader tonight said his talk with De La Barra had given him cause for believing in the complete a sincerity of the chief executive, adding that he now believes there Is no formid- able obstacle in their view; that trans uuility throughout the republic will be almost immediately restored and that progress will be evident in every step the Mexican people take.
 Madero will not review the troops of Ambrosio Figueroa at Cuernavaca un- til Monday It had been planned for him to go to Cuernavaca tomorrow, but at a conference today 1t was agreed to postpone the event.
 Almost all day the Madero home has been the scene of receptions. Among those who called were Ernesto Madero, the new minister of finance; Dr. Fran cisco Vasquez Gomez. minister of edu- cation, and Rafael Hernandez, the min ister of justice.
