HAVANA, March 4.— A long conference was held this morning between Francisco and Ernesto Madero, Congressmen Rendon, Zorrilla, Agruirre, and Garza, the last named being the lately overthrown Governor of the Mexican Federal District, and other Mexican refugees in this city prior to the departure of the two Maderos for California. It was stated that this conference resulted in the laying of preliminary plans by the Maderistas toward regaining their power in Mexico.
The Maderos and their friends count on a revulsion of popular feeling in Mexico at the prospect of a régime similar to that maintained for many years by Porfirio Diaz.
It was said the first new blow probably would be struck from Lower California. Participants in the conference, when asked what they had discussed, asserted that they simply had been bidding the Maderos "Good-bye."
Both of the Maderos called on President Gomez shortly before their departure and thanked him for the courtesies they had received from the Government, of Cuba, both here and in Mexico.
