SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23.-The Exami-
ner has received the following telegram
from President Kruger in reply to mes-
sage requesting information as to the
states of the American mining men now
imprisoned at Pretoria for alleged part
icipation in the uprising of the Uitland-
ers:
Everything is quite at present, the
Americans are in no da sger whatever.
They enjoy the full protection Of the law
like any other foreigners; therefore
there is.no need of protection from the
outside against any illegal or revolution
lists movements. Even if such protec-
ton against revolutionists were neces-
sasy, which is not 80, the Americans are
capable of taking care of themselves.
The government regrets deeply that,
while almost all of the Americans. took
the side of law and order, few OF them
have joined the revolutionary, so-called
reform committee. These together with
majority, mostly British, will be tried
according to law, and justice will be done
to all concerned without respect to ma
tionality,"
