THE AFGHAN DISASTER.
EFFECT OF THE NEWS IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, July 29.-It is reported that the
government has decided to send reinforcements
to India.
The news of the disaster has caused great
excitement. The Standard says One distinct
and fixed point is that our supremacy must
be signally and effectively vindicated, and the
crushing disaster avenged in the sight of At
ghanistan and India.
1t is not known whether Gen. Burrows him
self is saved. The queen was Immediately
| telegraphed to on receipt Of the news, and all
| the ministers had an informal conference. The
| date of the attack is not given, but the mill
| tary authorities believe it took place on Sat-
urday last.
| The Times, in financial articles, says that
| the disaster depressed eastern exchanges and
| weakened Indian securities.
EXCITEMENT AND CONSERVATION.
A correspondent of the Standard at Bombay
| SAYS the news from Candahar caused immense
excitement and CONSERVATION throughout In
| iia. It has been regarded as certain that Gen.
Burrows force was perfectly capable of op-
posing Ayoob Khan's irregulafs, 80 that NO
shadow of anxiety was felt for his safety. The
viceroy summoned his council In haste the In
slant news of the disaster arrived, and although
some hope was expressed that the reported loss
had been exaggerated, there is nothing in the
latest news at hand to encourage the hope that
any considerable body of infantry has escaped.
The chief anxiety at present is for Candahar.
The loss of this city would be terrible blow
to US and frightful misfortune to the inhab-
itants as the city would certainly be looted
by Ayoob Kehn's troops.
From Cabul we learn that complications are
already arising at Ghuznee, and there can be
no doubt that tho defeat will exercise an inn
mense effect on the situation at Cabul.
It is considered certain that Ayoob
Khan's attitude will modify the reso-
to establish himself, aided only by
money and that enamation must be delayed.
The opinion is now unanimous as to the abso-
Lutte necessity of complete revindication of
our arms.
EXCITEMENT At DUBLIN.
