Augustin de Yturbide, Heir of
Maximilian, Long Teacher
at Georgetown.

Augustin de Yturbide, grandson of
the Emperor Augustin de Yturbide of
Mexico, died at his residence, 2115 p
street, early today. Don Augustin
was formerly professor of French
and Spanish at Georgetown Uni
versity. He had been in poor health
for many years. He had a nervous
and physical breakdown last Spring,
from which he never recovered
His father, Don Angel, was for
many years an attache of the Mexi-
can Embassy here.
Don Augustin had long been q
resident of Washington and had
many friends here. He married Miss
Louise Kearney of Georgetown and
Fairfax County, Va, in 1915.
Don Augustin had a life filled with
romance, an account of which tells
OF many adventures as the heir to the
Mexican Emperor.
Named Macmillan Heir.
In 1855 Macmillan, seeking to
strengthen his precarious position as
Emperor Of Mexico, declared the boy
Augustin to be his heir, thus COM
bfning both foreign and native claims
in the one person and holding out to
the Mexican people the hope that the
scepter would descend to a pure
blooded Mexican of imperial lineage.
The child was at this time only 21a
years old. He received the title of
prince with the appellation of high
ness, which had been decreed to all
the children OF the Emperor Augustin
by the Mexican Congress of 1922, ex-
cept the eldest, who had the appella-
tion of imperial highness.
After the fall of Maximilian the
young prince was returned to his
family who had been exiled by Maxi
milan and were then residing in the
United States. He was educated for
the most part in Europe. first at st.
Michel. Brussels, and later at Ascot,
in England. enjoying all the social
advantages which his acknowledged d
rank as an imperial prince confers in
European countries. Later he took
post graduate work at Georgetown
University. In 1881 he entered the
military academy of Mexico and
served in the cavalry of his native
country.
