MEXICAN AMBASSADOR DEAD
Benor Aipiroi'i Death ii Eesalt of Exposure
on Inauguration Day.
PROMINENT IN STATE AND ARMY CIRCLES
He . Was Proseeatlng Attorney In
Ceurt-Martlal of Maxmllllan
Leaves Widow and Three
Children.
WASHINGTON. March 24. Senor Don
Manuel de Asplros. Mexico's first ambassa
dor to the United States, died late this
afternoon at the Mexican embassy, sur
rounded by members of his family. Al
though a sick man since last fall, the am
bassador's desth was due to a relapse
caused by exposure on, Inauguration day.
Against the advice of his physicians Senor
Asplros left his sick room and attended
the Inaugural ceremonies at the capltol,
where he came near fainting.
For years the ambassador has suffered
from gastritis and this weakened his heart.
His death this afternoon was unaccom
panied by suffering.
Mr. Gam boa, first secretary of the em
bassy. Is In consultation with the mem
bers of the ambassador's family tonight re
garding tha funeral arrangements.
Sketch of Ills Career.
Born at Pueblo, Mex., June 9, 1836, Senor
de Asplros studied law, but left his law
office to enter the Mexican army. He ren
dered gallant service in the uprising of his
country against the French Intervention
and rose from second lieutenant to colonel.
After the fall of Queretaro he was ap
pointed prosecuting attorney In the court
martial of Maxlmilllan, Marlmon and
Mejal.
When the revolution of Tuxtepec, under
General Dlax, overthrew the existing gov
ernment Colonel Asplros retired to private
life. In May, 1890, he became assistant
secretary of foreign relations In the cabinet
of General Diaz and held that position until
he was made ambassador ot Mexico to , the
United States.
The Imperial house of Austria has always
taken the position that Senor Asplroz,
through his connection with the court
martial of Maxlmilllan, was In part re
sponsible for Maxtmllllan's execution, and
during the early days of the service of Mr.
Asplroz at Washington, this fact proved
of keen embarrassment to himself and the
Austrian representative. Finally It was
arranged that when brought together at
official functions these two diplomats
should exchange formal greetings. This,
however, was not until an embarrassing In
cident had occurred at the White House
during the administration of President Mc
Klnley, when the Mexican ambassador was
assigned to escort to the dining room tbe
wife of the Austrian ambassador, and the
latter felt compelled to declines
Telegrams of Condolence.
The ambassador Is survived by a widow
and two daughters, and his son, second
secretary of the embassy. These messages
were sent to Mexico tonight:
To President Diaz. City of Mexico: For
my countrymen and In my own name. I
offer heartfelt condolence upon the death
oi Ambassador Asplroz.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
The American Embassy. City of Mexico:
The government and people of the United
States slncerelv denlore the loss Mexico
suffers In the death of the ambassador who
in his life among us had won the esteem
and goodwill of all.
Jiumti, Acting secretary oi state.
Funeral Arrangements.
Mr. Gamboa, acting charge d'affaires,
called on the acting secretary of state, Mr.
Adee. 'at the tatter's house this evening
to inform him officially of the death of
the ambassador. It was arranged that the
acting secretary should meet Mr. Gamboa
and 'Major Charles M. McCawley of the
White House staff tomorrow to complete
arrangements for the funeral, the date
of which cannot be set definitely until the)
Mexican government is heard from.

PECULIAR DEATH IN NEW YORK
Daughter Dies and Mother Sinking;
After Being; I'nconsclons for
Fifteen Days.
NEW YORK, March 24.-One of the
most remarkable cases In the experience
of the doctors of the Presbyterian hospi
tal In this city ended today In the death
of Miss Luella Huestls of Mount Vernon,
who. with her mother, Mrs. James H.
Huestls, had been In a trance for fifteen
days, prior to her death. More than two
weeks ago both of the women were found
unconscious in the home of Henry W.
Heifer, a lawyer, of this city, and were
supposed to have been asphyxiated by
gas. Neither had. since recovered con
sciousness and physicians and hypnotists
were puzzled by their unaccountable coma
Miss Huestls was an attractive young
woman, aged 22 years. Lack of nourish
ment was the principal cause of her
death, as It had been impossible to give
her food except in liquid form and through
a tube. Stimulants and oxygen were ad
ministered without effect.
A singular fact is that the young
woman's mother, who lay In an adjoining
room, began to show signs of the ap
proach of death soon after the death of
her daughter. Like her daughter the
mother also is greatly emaciated, and the
physicians at the hospital say that her
low vitality is due practically to starva
tion. One specialist in hypnotism and
psychology, who Investigated the case, has
made public his conclusion that the two
women had unconsciously hypnotized each
other and that gas asphyxiation had noth
ing to do with the case. He explained that
he had himself been hypnotized whlla
hypnotizing a patient and had only been
awakened by the arousing of the subject.
The case of the two women has attracted
the attention of scientists all over the
country.
An autopsy made tonight on the body ot
Miss Heutts shows that death had resulted
from gas poisoning.
