The Afghan War.


LONDON, August "a Bombay dispatch
10 the Times says Chaman Cboki is threat
ened by the Afghans, but the rumor Of its
capture is improbable. Certain tribes over
the whole country are in cOmmOtiOn.
Advices from SimIa to the 9Th instant
state that Candahar had not been attacked
Ayoob Khan had reached Kohkaran, four
miles southwest OF Canhadar. There had
been no advance on Khelab. Gezai, or
Pishen. All was quiet at Cabul.
A Bombay dispatch to the Daily Iele-
qroph says the tribes in the neigh borhood
OF the Kbojah Pass are occupying the hill
above The Cnaman-Choki forts.
In the House OF Commons this evening,
the Marquis OF Harrington, Secretary for
India, replying to a question, said the Gov
ernment's intention to withdraw from Cabul
Immediately had been formed before Gene
raj BurrOwss defeat, which does not, ac-
cOrding to the opinion OF the Indian or
Home Government, Justify the Withdrawal.
General Stewart, he said, fully cOncurred
in believing that all the objects have been
attained and that long stay in Cabul is
unnecessary. No information has been re-
ceived regarding the reported capture OF
Chaman Choki.
Foreign Notes.
LONDON, August GA Bombay dispatch
says: "a generaly-accepted rumor is cur
rent here that the Afgbans have taken Chan .
mon-Chaik. 1t Is reported that 1000 Al
CHAN tribesmen have gathered in the vlcini-
ty Of Quttah."
A Cabul dispatch says General Roberts's
force, numbering 5000, made its first march
to Benisbabar yesterday. He hopes to reach
Candahsr in twenty-five days.
A Berlin dispatch says Herr Asselmann,
Socialist German Deputy. writes to the Co.
logne Gazette denying that he has fled to
America. He says he is making political
tour OF Germany in consequence OF the
suppression under the Socialist law OF the
paper which he edits. lie denies that he
has any private debts, though be admits
that he is somewhat heavily involved as le-
gal security for certain publications.
A Berlin dispatch says Count de st. Val
lier, French ambassador to Germany, has

count OF his health.

Coal Mine ON Fire.

POTTsvILLE, PA, August 9.-The inside
working OF the Keely-Run colliery at Shen-
andoah was discovered on fire in two OF
the breasts this morning. All the work

expensive. The mine cannot be flooded,
and TO extingusb the tire will present one
OF the greatest engineering problems yet
