night. The Baroness who was Miss
Lillian May Langham, of Iouisvilie,
th Ky., was with her husband at. the end.
The Baron and Baroness came here '
. from‘Hamburg the end of last month '
to consult with Prof. Vincent Cserny,
a skin specialist, concerning a malady
from which the Ambassador has been
suffering for some time, After a pro.
1011890 examination of the diseased
part on the left side of Baron Von
Sternburg’s head. Prof. Caerny aillrm-
ed that the trouble was not cancer
but a lupus. and that he could cure it,
Both the Ambassador and his wife
wife were immensely cheered at the
opinion which was duly communicated
to theioreign office at Berlin. A rap«
resentitive of the foreign oiiice came
down here to see the Baron and upon
his return to Berlin the favorable
news, it is understood, was transmit-
ted to Emperor William and forwarded
to the German Embassy at Washing-
on. '
Baron Von Sternburg is described as
having felt that his long agony was
nearly over although he had suffered
many disappointments with regard to
his illness. His wife also shared the
hope that he would soon recover.
It had been arranged that the Baron
should go to Berlin in September to be
received in audience by Emperor Wil-
liam previous to his return to Wash-
ington. It was thought desirable that
the Ambassador be at his post during
the concluding weeks of the presiden-
tial campaign.
No arrangements yet have been
made for the funeral of the Ambassa-
dor. The Baron's father who is 80
years old. lives on e family estate
near Dresden and i is possible that.
the burial will take place there.
Baron Von Sternburg left New York
for Germany. May 16.
The ailment that resulted in the
death of Baron Speck Von Stornburg
has been long standing. It has been
described as a lupsus, growing oul of
an injury resulting from an accident
that occurred while the Baron was in
the service of his government in in-
dia. He made a brave fight against
the spread of the malady from the
start, consulting the foremost medical
authorities of Europe and America for
aid, and his plucky effort won the
keen sympathy of Washington people.
The news of the Baron’s death comes
as a complete surprise. No one be-
lieved that thewialady would carry
him away so quickly. llowover, it was
freely predicted last summer that the
Ambassador would be forced to retire
on account of illness. Within the last
year the lupus. developed in the bid-
eous fashion peculiar, to such attacks.
spreading well over one side of his
face. When the Ambassador left for
Europe last May, he went on board the
steamer very quietly with the purpose
of keeping from the public attention
so far as possible the spread of his
malady.
Daron Herman Speck Von Sternburg
was born in Leeds, England, August
21, 1852. His parents were Baron
Alexander Von Sternburg and Martha
Shaw. He ,was educated in Germany.
He was married in London to Lillian
May Langham. of Louisville, Ky. He
fought through the Franco-German
war and remained in the active mili-
tary service utnil 1886. In that year
he was made military attache to the
German, negation at Washington. Four
years later he was reappointed to this
post and made a major. In 1890 he
joined the diplomatic service, being
appointed as secretary of legation at
Pekin. He was next charge d'aifairs at
Balgrade, Servia, and in 1898 he was
sent to the German Embassy at Wash-
ington as first secretary. In this year
he served as German High Commls'
sioner on the Samoan Commission. In
1900, the Baron was consul general of
Germany for British India and Ceylon
and he had been the Ambasador of
Germany to the United States since
July. 1903. .- ' ‘
Baron Von Sternburg as a close
friend of President Roos sit." He was
made Ambassador at Washington in
succession to Dr. Von ‘Hoilenben.
whose term of service in Washington
had not been attended with' entire
success. .
The German Emperor had declared
on several occasions . that Germany
should be represented in Washington
by “a personality who would win the
regard of the American people as well
as the coniidon of the American gov-
ernment." An the Emperor was gen-
er lly declared happy in his selection
0 man so capable of carrying out his
mission when be appointed Baron Von
Sternburg. It. is a fact that since the
Baron became Ambassadortha rela-
tions between the United States and
Germany have grown annually more
cordial. The distrust that existed along
time' has been entirely dissipated ln
diplomatic circles and almost entirely
so with the general public.
The immediate cause of death was
inflammation of the lungs. The first.
symptoms were noticed Saturday, and
they reached their culmination in thir-
ty hours. The baron was in a weaken-
ed condition and was unable to with-
stand the attack.
BERLIN. August 24.-—'I‘he foreign
ofllce, upon receiving a telegram from
eldelberg announcing the death of
n Von Sternburg sent a cablegram
to Count. Hermann Von Hatafeldt Wil-
denburg, the German charge d'aiiaires
at. Washington instructing him to in-
form Prealdant Roosevelt that the
question of a successor to the Baron
probably would not be settled until
Prinoo’Von Buslow.-the Imperial Chan-
cellor, saw the Emperor, wh ch might
not be until the second was in sep-
tomber. Various diplomatic changes
in prospect are to he gazetted in Octo-
ber, and among them probably will be
a successor to the Baron at Washing-
ton.
