ASKED FOR PROTECTION.
President Kruger Sought an Asylum
In the American Consulate.

SOugUb an 6ASy
In the American Consulate.
LONDON, Aug. 14.-President Kruger
at one time made formal application
to the United States to grant him a
sanctuary in case the necessity for it
arose. This occurred, according to Sec
rotary of State Reitz of the Transvaal
republic, the day Lord Roberts entered
Pretoria. 1t is stated that President
Kruger will never take to the mouE-
tains on account of his age, but will re-
treat down the line, finally escaping to
Portuguese territory. President Kruger
sent for w. Stanley Hollis, the United
States consul at Lorenzo MARQUEE.
President Kruger asked him if his
government would grant him (Presi-
dent Kruger) an asylum in the Lorenzo
Marquis consulate until he (Kruger)
made other arrangements for his depart
ure. President Kruger expressed fears
concerning his treatment by the Portu-
guese government, and wished to guard
against any possible British landing par
ties. Mr.. Hollis asked for time TO con-
suit with his government and President
Kruger assured him he would receive
weeks notice before putting the plan
into execution.
In consequence of this visit to the
Transvaal and the transmission of Pres
ident Kruger's request to Washington,
Mr.. Hollis received instructions from
Secretary Hay not to leave Portuguese
territory again. He was thus compelled
to neglect the interests Of British pris-
oners at Nooi Gedacht, where there was
great suffering
This explanation is made in justice
to Mr.. Hollis, whose action has been
misunderstood both in America and
Great Britain.

HUNTINGTON DEAD;
END CAME SUDDENLY
Railway Magnate's Death
Entirely Unexpected.
DUE TO HEART TROUBLE

He Had Been In His Usual Health.
Death of Major Prime-Three Mem
beFs of One Family Die In Five
Hours-Baron Russen,s Funeral.
UTICA, N. Y, Aug. H. = Coils P.
Huntington, president of the Southern
Pacific railway, died at Pine Knot camp,
near Durant, on Racquette Lake in the
Adirondacks, last night
Mr. Huntington went into the woods
last Thursday afternoon and was in ap-
parently excellent health. Friday and
Saturday he was about his camp noting
the progress of the improvements which
he has been carrying on this year. Sun
day he remained at his lodge very
quietly, receiving the calls of several
friends from the neighboring camps.
Yesterday he continued in good health
and made no complaint of illness. He
retired last night at II o'clock, appar-
emily in the best of health and, so far as
can be ascertained, slept soundly, as no
disturbance was heard from his room
until short time before his death.
Means proceeding from Mr.. Hunting
toms room aroused members of the
household and they Immediately went
to his assistance. In about 10 minutes
he was dead.
It is supposed Mr.. Huntington death
was caused by heart trouble.

acted From China.
PUNISH THE OFFENDERS

When the Guilt Can Be Fixed on an
Individual He Must Pay the Penalty.
Position of This Government Clearly
Defined-Message From Congor.
WASHINGTON, Aug. "A high gov
ernment official said today that the in
demnity which the United States would
demand for every American citizen
killed or MANNED by the Chinese during
the present trouble would be sufficient
to comfortably support their families for
the remainder of their lives.
fThis government does not want a
province, a town, village or single
square foot of Chinese territory as in.
indemnify" said the official, who ia
close to the president. "There is but
enc indemnity which they can give our
people and that is military indemnity
to the families of their American VIC
Tins For every one of these China
must pay q sufficient sum to keep their
families from want during their lives
This government will exact assurances
of a satisfactory character that such a
shall not again occur. The nature of
these assurances will be determined
later.
''The collection Of indemnity may
prove difficult, and 1t may be decided,
although so far the proposition has not
been considered, to station warships in
the harbors Of the principal cities and
officials within the cities to watch the
revenues and protect the interests Of the
United States, if need be, by taking
charge Of such revenues and reserving
some portion of them to apply to the In.
demnity.
SIN addition to requiring assurances
of a restore ton of order and the strict
est precautions to prevent similar state
of affairs in the future, small body Of
troops may be necessary to protect the
officials stationed at these ports.
