Appendicitis Fatal to the Mexican
Ambassador to America.
An ABLE DIPLOMAT GENE.
HI. Diplomatic Career In Washin-ton
isagan Forty Years Ago-vSas Warm
Friend of Lincoln and Grant and One
ns MexlcO's Wlsest Patriots.

WASHINGTON, Dec 31.-Senor Don
Matias Romero, the Mexican ambassa-
dor to the United States, died at the
embassy here at 4:l0 o'clock this morn.
ing. Wednesday an operation for ap.
peEdicitis was performed upon the am-
5aasador, and, although the operation
was entirely successful, the resulting
s:.ock proved greater than he could
bcar.
For the last thirty-five years Romero
has been one of the leading officials of
the various governments of Mexico.
AS early as 1S59-during the admi lis-
trntion of President Buchanan-he
was connected with the Mexicl IN lega.
sion. He was at that time only %
years of age. Before he was 25 he had
charge of the interests of Mexico in
the United Soates. He was secretary
Of the Mexican treasury during the
administrations of Juarez, the first
president of Mexico. and Diaz, when
he succeeded Juarez; was member OF
the Mexican congress, an officer in the
Mexican army, aad then again minis
ter, and, later, ambassador to the
United States. He was known in
Washington as one of the shrewdest
and ablest OF the foreign i olomatists.
The most important treati~, with Mex.
leo were made by the United States
through Senior Romero.
He had many friendships among
prominent Americans Among them
was strong attachment between Gen
eral Grant and him. lie also was on
intimate terms with President Linco n
and Secretary Seward. IL 1868, when
he returned to Mexico, Secretary Sew
ard furnished him a United States
government vessel as mark of DIS
tinction.
The legation was, by concurrent
arrangement of the two governments,
within the last month, raised to t'e
grade of an embassy, anl next Tues
lay had been fixed upon as the day
when Senor Romero was to present
his credentials 10 President Mckinley
as ambassador extraordinary and
plenipotentiary. He was q frequent
contr. .butor to the magazines Of this
country, confining his labors t" ar
ticles re.ative to Mexico. During the
last few months the first volum. of q
work from his pen appeared, entitled
''Mexico and the United States" l,
was study Of subjects affectin i. Their
political, commercial and social re
lxtions.
