He further says that the first boat was low
cred ten minutes after the collision and took
off fifty-four passengers. He jumped over
with chair and was picked up by the City of
New York's boat. I saw the Stonington' s
whistled after that, but the whistles were
mixed. ~
Stephen A. Mowry, mate of the Narragan-
sett, testified this afternoon. After receiving
the captains orders he proceeded to lower the,
beats, beginning with No. 4, which lowered to

lower it carefully and put in the plug. He
then went to the uext boat aft, which was full
of passengers He got them out, lowered the

the Stonington, picking up one man on the
way. He then cruised back and forth to res
cue passengers He remained on the Nara
gansett till the next afternoon. He had charge
of the Narragansetts life boats and paid them
special attention to see that they were kept in
order. He considered they and the RATS were
in first class order and properly equipped with
oars and plugs. There were seven life boats.
He considered the crew good one. Two of
them were sailors. He always gave preference
to sailors when hiring men, but they were diff

AFGHANISTAN.
Withdrawal of the British Troops Begun

Withdrawal of the British Troops Begun,
LONDON, July 19..The Times correspondent
at Cabul telegraphs that the 18th Bengal cav
airy has left Cabul. This is the first step in
the retirement OF British troops. The whole
country is quiet.
A Calcutta despatch says: The latest news
from Afghanistan seems to point to the early
evacuation of Cabul. Abdurrahman Khan
is expected there in a few days. His last let
ter from Chirakar is friendly All accounts
agree that the mutineers who deserted Shere
Ali at Candadar have dispersed. The British
have invited Moosa Khan, the ex-Ameers son,
to come to Cabul, in hopes his mother may
take him with her to India, but it is doubtful
whether his guardians will allow him to come
as they may want to keep him near Ghuznee
to form the nucleus of a rising when the Brit
ish withdraw.
A Cabul despatch says: Abdurrahman Khan
arrived Thursday at Tartan Dara, six miles
from Charikar. He will advance on Charikar
as soon as possible, and after his camp arrives
an interview will be held somewhere near Ca
bull.

ELECTION FRAUDS.
uanrOrt

Cross determination of Commissioner Da-
venport.
NEW York, July Ex-senator Mcdonald re-
sumed the cross-examination before the Wa
lace Committee today of Commissioner Daven-
port, as to the alleged election frauds. When
requested to furnish a list of persons for whom
he had issued warrants for arrest, Davenport
said he would do so only ON condition that the
committee paid the expenses of copying the
names, which could be found ON file at the
Treasury Department with his accounts.
Is At the afternoon session Davenport was
asked if he should arrest soldiers at the coming
election voting on 1868 papers, and replied he
knew no law to protect them above any other
fraudulent voters. In reference to the ex-
penses of conducting the office witness said he
had not been paid yet as the bill before Con-
gress was not passed.
Senator Wallace-Mr. Blair will no doubt
help you to get your money and I shall assist
him. q
Senator Blair remarked that the Democrats
had been opposed to Davenport.
Mr.. Wallace said the money had not been
withheld personally from Davenport, but to
prevent him using it for partisan purposes as
in years past.
Mr.. Blair thought the remark offensive and
that the chairman should apologize, but the
matter was dropped
