The CabuI Massacre.

LONDON, September 17.-Indian offs
cials telegraph further details of the attack
on the British Residency at Cabul. 1t is re-
lated by the trooper who escaped that when
the mutinOus troops were making the out
cry for their pay soldier cried, "Let us kill
the Envoy and then the Ameer." The mu-
tineers then rushed upon the Embassy and
stoned some of the servants. The troops
composing the escort Of the Embassy fired
upon the mutineers without orders from
the British officers. The mutineers
then went for their weapons. They were
absent about a quarter of an hour, during
which time the British officers might have
escaped. The Residency was defended from
the windows and from trench made on the
outside with a mud roof. A trooper was
the bearer of q letter to the mutineers, then
on the roof of the Embassy, promising them
six months pay. He was seized and thrown
from the roof and made insensible. When
he recovered he was brought before Gen.
kerim Khan, commander of the mutinOus
brigade, who said he was powerless against
the mutineers, and ordered the trooper to be
imprisoned.
Another account from Simla gives the fol-
lowing additional particulars: The roof of
the British Residency at Cabul was COM
manded by other houses, and consequently
untenable by the besieged, who made a
trench outside. At about O'Clock in the at
ternoon on the day of the massacre Mai.
Cavagnari received wound from a ricochet-
ting bullet on his forehead. Mr.. JENKINS,
Maj. Cavagnari's assistant, who arrived at
the Residency during the attack, wrote to the
Amer for help, and the Ameer's reply
was: "God willing, | am making arrange
ments." A previous request for aid from
Maj. Cayagnari had met with the same re-
ply. Mr.. Jenkyns wrote again when Mai.
Cavagnari was wounded, but the bearer Of
the letter was cut to pieces by mutineer.
A trooper then started but was disarmed
and imprisoned. He succeeded in escaping
at daybreak on the 4th Of September, and
visited the Residency, where he said the
corps of Lieutenant Hamilton, commanding
the escort of the British Mission, was lying
across mountain gun. He says that Mr..
Jenkyns was with person called Yahayahah
Khan, and he is therefore presumably alive.
The escaped trooper saw no troops on
the road from Cabul to Jellalabad and Dakka,
and as far as he knew none were coming, and
a cOmrade who was confined in Cabul in
formed him that Lieut.. Hamilton shot three
Of the mutineers with his revolver, and killed
two with his saber. DR.. Kelly, who was con-
nected with the Mission, was lying dead in
side the Residency. Major Cavagnari was in
room which was burned, and which had
fallen in. His body had not been found.
Three native officers of the guides were
burned TO death near the Residency.

Shot by an officer.

A box of saddler's tools and other
goods worth SIS were stolen from w.
A. Baker by Henry Bell in August
last. The police got after Henry yes
terday as he was going along the upper
end of Main street kicking at doors as
he passed. After taking him in tow,
officer Hendrick found him a rough
character to handle, and, as he broke
to run, a pistol shot was sent in his
wake, striking him in the Aeshy part
of his anatomy under the coat-tails.
Bell ran for a square or so and fell,
was re%captured and taken to the
lookup. This forenoon he was well
enough to appear before the Police
Court. Bell turns out to be an unruly
darky. He is said to have been sent
to the penitentiary, but was pardoned
out. Bell lay in the station-house
until near noon to-day, and his wound
had not been looked after up to that
hour.
