ra will be minister of foreign affairs
and General Reyes will be minister If

Thus spoke Francisco |. Madero, to
an Associated Press representative to-
day at Chapultepec castle, where he
talked with President de La Barra and
| General Reyes Both men have cor-
sented to accept these portfolios.
The meeting was accidental. Ma
dero had been comforting with Presi-
dent dc La Barra about the political
situation when General Reyes arrived.
Madero was asked to remain. Frank
| discussion of the situation resulted.
General Reyes said this afternoon:

lister of war If Senior Madero is elect
/ ed. ! am not going to be a candidate
for the presidency or participate In
the elections.

the interviewers, "a committee called
| on me to ask me to be "A candidate
| for the presidency, but | told them |
| intended to be a member of Senior
| Madero's cabinet If he is elected.
ITO offer myself as candidate
might mean a confusion which would
produce anarchy and | can assure
YOU both President de Ia Barra. Sc
nor Madero, and myself will work
earnestly and incessantly to prevent
such a contingency"
