COLON LOSES HIS LIFE ACCIDENTALLY.
Washington. Jan. 1.-THE State Department re-
celved Official notice to-day OF the drowning OF
United States Consul Ashby at Colon. Tho In
formation came from Consul-Genera Gudger at
Panama It was a brief statement that Mr.. Ashby
had been drowned. without any particulars OF the
affair and a announcement that man would be
temporarily put in the consulate Mr.. Gudger said
further that he was going from Panama to Colon
presumably TO look after the affairs OF the con-
sulate install the man, and, II possible, ar
range for the recovery OF the body OF Mr.. Ashby.

age He was a newspaper by profession. and
was extremely poular with his associates in Wash

spondent for Virginia newspapers. He Re-
publican in politics. and received his first appoint
ment in the Consular Service under the Harrison
Administration. being appointed Consul to Colon
on Nav g. 1892. He retained his office until jan
uary of the following year. Since tna date he had
been engaged in newspaper work in his native
State and In Washington until reappointed Con-
sui.
It is believed at the State Department that he
met his death in a storm. the open roadstead OF
Colon being peculiarly dangerous for small craft
at such times. 1t is singular coincidence that
the last official communication Mr.. Ashby had
with the State Department was devoted entirely
TO a report on such a storm at Colon recently.
This report is dated January ), and In 1t Mr..
Ashby said: Il have to inform the Department
that destructive storm ragged here during the

the damage to the shipping was slight. as the
steamships in port left for the safer harbor at
