Thus spoke Francisco !. Madero, jr..
today following a visit to the presidential
residence at Chapultepec Castle, where
he talked with both President de la
Barra and Gen. Reyes. Both men have
consented to accept these portfolios. and
their decisions were announced in an
official bulletin issued at the national

remain A frank discussion of the situ-

Madero's remark that President de Ia
Barral would return to his recent post
of minister of foreign relations Is looked
on as an indication that the new govern
ment will contain representatives of all
elements.
Several days ago President de la Barra
6onfided to friends that he probably would
go to Italy as the special ambassador to
thank Italy for its participation in the
Mexican centennial. His intention after
completing this 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.
Regard for de la Barra.
Senior de la Barra is recognized as an
important factor in soothing the wounds
of the ousted parties, and Madero Is be-
Iieved to be anxious to keep him in the
cabinet not only for that reason, but be-
cause of his familiarity with international
affairs.
Asked about the fuldllment of the mis-
sion to Italy. Madero said:
After the elections Senior de la Barra

cepted the post of minister of foreign
relations"
