"On behalf of the Diplomatic Corps in China, I come to express the high esteem in which Dr. Armando Navarro was held by his colleagues and the deep sorrow which we all feel at his death:
"Portuguese Minister in China for more than seven years, Dr. Navarro was, through his family, predestined to a career of letters and diplomacy.
"In his youth, he was an enthusiast in literature, art, end in a general way, in every branch of intellectual activity "His father, Emilio Navarro, Counseller to the Crown, Minister of Public Works, and Portuguese Minister in Paris, left in his country the reputation of a great writer.
"His father-in-law, Barbosa Colon, political historian, left a name which does honour to Portuguese literature.
"Dr. Armando Navarro had all the requirements for following in the same steps. The numerous articles of literary criticism which he published in reviews and newspapers, his essays on 18th century art, which he never ished to put into book form, show hat he could have given if he, who a way was "all mind," had wished to devote himself to literature CrAmaL es, Aa, Norwegian Cnarge a'Amaires; Mr. kieazar Vega, Chilean Charge a'Araires; br.
