 CAb|NET-TO-BE Reyes, De La Barra and Madero Hold Conference MADERo OPTIMISTIC
If He Is Elected He Says De La Barra and Reyes Will Be Minis ters of Foreign Relations and
 War Respectively


 Mexico City, June 1o.-"If I should be elected president, Senor De La Barra will be minister of foreign relations and Gem eral Reyes will be minister of war in my cabinet'
 Thus spoke Francisco I. Madero to an Associated Press representative today at his home here, following visit to the presidential residence at Chapultepec cas- tie, where he talked with both President De La Barra and General Reyes
 Both men have consented to accept these portfolios and their decision was announced in an official bulletin at the national palace tonight"
 The meeting between the three men was accidental.
 Madero had been comforting with Pres ident De La Barra about the political sit uation and was about to step into the elevator to descend to his automobile below when General Reyes appeared At the mutual instance of both General Reyes and President De La Barra Ma dero was asked to remain. A frank dis cussion of the situation ensued.
 Madero's eyes sparkled as he later told of the successful outcome of the confer ence He was clearly optimistic about the future and seemed to take it for granted that he would be elected. Our meetins,' he said, was very cor dial. We had definite understanding re- garding the work to harmonize all ele- ments."
 General Reyes was seen at his home this afternoon.
 ''It is true" said he, as he stroked his long beard, that 1 am going to be min ister of war if Senor Madero is elected. am not going to be a candidate for the presidency or participate in the elec- tions."
 General Reyes spoke forclbly and em- phasized his words with quick gestures
 Just before you came," he said to the interviewer, they called on me to ask me to be a candidate for the presidency. but I have told them that l intend to be a member of Sehor Maderos cab inet if he is elected.
 In Sympathy With Madero
 q know that Senor Madero has the support of the popular element in Mex leo and I am in complete sympathy with his principles, To offer myself as can didate might mean confusion which would produce anarchy. and I can as- sure you that both President De La Bar ra, Senor Madero and myself will work earnestly and necessarily to prevent such a in a fpr Q union of our fatherland for it is a grave and delicate moment in Mexico. l am ready to accept any position that is of fered me if it is for the best of my coun- try"
 But you would prefer the ministry of war, would you not?'' he was asked.
 .Yes, because I am most familiar with it and I think I would have the confi- dence of the army"
 As to President De La Barra's plans, Madero's remark that President De La Barra wo9ld return to his recent post of minister of foreign relations, is looked upon as an indication that the new move ment will contain representatives of all elements and will have a stable effect on the future mission mentioned several days ago. when President De La Barra confided to friends that he would prob- ably go to Italy as the special ambassa- dor to thank Italy for it's participation in the Mexican centennial. It was a mis- sion to which he was appointed while am bassador at Washington and whose tur- filment was made impossible because of his call to Mexico City to become min- ister of foreign relations
 President De La Barra's intention after completing his visit to Italy was to re- tire to private life, practicing law. To- days conference is believed to have per suaded him to stand by the new govern ment and lend his influence in establish ing tranquility in the country. Senor De La Barra, as the legal representative of the old cabinet, and the man in whom the deposed government element has con fidence. is recognized by those who wish to avert trouble as an important factor in soothing the wounds of the busted parties and Madero is believed to be anxious to keep him in the cabinet not only for that reason, but because of his familiarity with international affairs
 Asked about the fulfillment of the mis- sion to Italy, Madero said
 Will Go to Italy
 After the elections Senor De La Barra will go to Italy as special ambassador, but in the meantime he will have accept ed the post of minister of foreign rela- tions, and returning here, will occupy that position in the cabinet. That is my pres ent plan, and sincerely hope it will be successful" .,
 Madero has in mind the more or less unsettled condition in which the army is at. present, but an indication of what his policy will be was given in speech which he made today to the cadets of the Na- tional Military academy whom he re- viewed:
 Tn the reorganization of the army" he said, as he stood in front of the line of cadets, there will be no interference with the offices of the line. The discip- lino and training of thes military school is most valuable, and preference should be given to those who have been given the benefit of it's training
 Beside Madero as he spoke, in their olive drab uniforms, in contrast to the blue of the cadets, stood General Gar,- baldi, Lieutenant Colonel Eduardo Hay, Lieutenant Colonel Raoul Madero and Captain Julio Madero, of the staff of the former rebel chief.
 The cadets went through the same maneuvers in review as on Thursday, " hen President De La Barra reviewed trcm When they had finished Madero compIimented them on their fine showing
