tered Pretoria The details of the event

entered Pretoria. President Kruger sent
for Mr.. w. Stanley Hollis, the United

and Mr.. Hollis was taken to Machado-
dOrp in a special car.
President Kruger asked him If his gov
eminent would grant him president
Kruger an asylum in the Lorenzo Mar
qucz consulate until he. Mr.. Kruger, made
blUtI arrangements loE HIS utpdI TURF
President Kruger expressed fears con-
corning his treatment by the Portuguese
government and wished to guard against
any possible British landing parties.
Mr.. Hollis asked for time to consult
with his government and President kru-
ger assured him he would receive d
weeks notice before putting the plan into
execution.
In consequence of this visit to the
Transvaal and the transmission of Presi-
dent kruGers request to Washington.
Mr.. Hollis received instructions from Sec
rotary Hay not TO leave Portuguese terri

neglect the interests of the British pris-

great suffering. Mr. Yunger in conclu.
sion said:
