New York Times 100 years ago today, August 17, 1913:
Mexican Ambassador to France Departs on the Oceanic.
Francisco Leon de la Barra, former Provisional President of Mexico and now the Mexican Ambassador to France, sailed for Cherbourg on the White Star liner Oceanic yesterday morning. Señor de la Barra said conditions in Mexico were improving, and that he was never more optimistic over the future of his country than at the present time. He added that he considered New York one of the finest cities on earth, and that he had enjoyed every moment of his eight days' stay here. Señora de la Barra and their six children accompanied the Ambassador.
On the United Fruit steamship Tivives, which sailed for Panama yesterday, went ex-Gov. Benton McMillin of Tennessee, the new American Minister to Peru. Mrs. McMillin and their daughter Miss Elinor accompanied him.
