The rise of Francisco Leou de

Mexico, has filled many diploma-
tic posts, but there is probably
no man in Mexico today with / a
more thorough knowledge of
its internal affairs. As ambas-
sador to Washington ; he made
many friends in thils country. "
Senor de la Ban a 'was born
June 1.6,1863f He received his
academic and special educa-
on at the College of the Gity
of Mexico. Upon the completion
of his studies he took up law ad-
mitted to the bar. He made]
a specialty of international law
and entered the foreign affairs
office. His first important , work
came" when he was appointed , to
negiate various treaties with
foreign powers. Among those
arranged by him was one of
commerse and navigation with
Holland and., extradition with
Italy. "
• He gained a seat in the fedteral
Congress in 1891, and remained-
fhere until 1896. He wasp-sent
