DEATH OF SENIOR ROMERO.
Ths Mexican Ambassador to the United States succumbs to an Operation
 for Appendicitis.

Washington, Dec. 3l. -Senor Don Matias Romero, the Mexican ambassa- dor to the United States, died at the embassy here at 4:i0 o'clock yesterday morning. Wednesday an operation for appendicitis was performed on the am bassador and although the operation was entirely successful. the resulting shock proved greater than he could bear.
 For the last S5 years Romero has been one of the leading officials of the various governments of Mexico. As early as 1859 during the administra- ton of President Buchanan-he was connected with the Mexican legation. He was at that time only 22 years of age. Before he was 25 he had charge of the interests of Mexico in the United States. He was secretary of the Mexican treasury during the ad- ministrations of Juarez, the first presi- dent of Mexico, and Diaz, when he succeeded Juarez; was a member of the Mexican congress, an officer in the Mexican army and then again minis ter, and later ambassador to the United States.
