England Preparing to Retaliate

LONDON, July CIT is reported that the
government has decided to send out reinforce
ments to India. The Viceroy has been ad-
vised by telegraph to that effect. The author
tiles at the Horse Guards, Admiralty, Treas
ury and India Office were in constant consul
tation last night, arranging details in regard
to despatching reinforcements.
The Post urges that Sir Garnet Wolsey be
sent to Afghanistan to take chief command.
A Standard says: One distinct and fixed fact
is that our supremacy must be Signally and Ell
fectively established, and the crushing disaster
avenged in sight of Afghanistan and India.
1t is not known whether Gen. Burrows himself
is saved. The Queen was Immediately tele-
graphed to on receipt of the news, and all the
ministers had an informal conference. The
date OF attack is not given, but the military
authorities believe it took place Saturday or
Sunday. ie -
The correspondent of the Standard at Bonn
bay says: The news from Candahar has
caused immense excitement and CONSERVATION
throughout India. 1t had been regarded so
certain that Burrows force was perfectly capa-
BILE of opposing Ayoob Khan's irregulars that
no anxiety was felt for his safety. The Vice
roy summoned his council in haste the instant
news OF the disaster arrived, and although
some hope was expressed that the req ort of the
losses was exaggerated, there is nothing in the
latest news at hand to encourage the hope that
such is the case.
A Dublin despatch says The news of tn 9
disaster in Afghanistan caused the deepest sor-
row and CONSERVATION here. So profound an
impression has not been produced on the pub
lie mind since the first battle of the Crimea.
The troops now under orders for Bombay
are the 38th regiment, first battalion of the 23d
regiment and the Kings Dragon Guards from
the Cape of Good Hope. The Indian troop
ship Euphrates was to leave for Bombay in
August, the Malabar and Jumna in Septem-
Der and the Scraps and Crocodile in October.
Two of these vessels can be ready in week.
A despatch from Simla says: Primrose's
last message stated that the report of the dis
aster was exaggerated, but the loss was severe.
Reinforcements were already on the way when
the defeat occurred Gems. Sandman and
Phayre are marching on Candahar and two or
more regiments should have reached Canda-
har by by this time Two strong brigades with
artillery and cavalry will be sent from India.

The Seawanhaka Investigation.
New YORK, July 29.-At the Seawanhaka
investigation to-day Stephen Vernon, wheels
man of the Seawanhaka, testified that when
the boat reached Wards Island he saw the
safety valve on the starboard SIDE rise little.
Capt. Smith said there must be something
wrong. Witness looked out but could see
nothing wrong. A few seconds after captain
said, "She's on Ere.
Frank Weeks, fireman, testified that he was
about to enter the fire-room to lift the feed
from one boiler to the other when he heard
noise like distant thunder. His father, the
engineer. started to go into the ire-rohm and
der the CRATE and he opened the jet again. Then
he went to the donkey pump and the flames
cut him off from my sight. There was no
such thing as scarcity of water in the guage.
The flames that came from the CRATE bars were
colored and smelt like gas. Saw this after the
jet was off. There was no leak about either of
the boilers. Saw no steam or hot water.

HANCOCK'S LETTER.
What It is Said to Contain

NEW YORK, July 29.-The Express says:
1t was rumored that Hancock's letter of ac-
ceptance would be issued this evening but this
afternoon it was learned that the letter would
not be furnished to the public to-day 1t is
believed the issuance of the letter only awaits
the arrival of EngIsh's letter so both may be
issued simultaneously.
The reporter learned that Hancock's letter
had been ready and in print several days. 1t
was printed in printing office on Governors
Island. The letter is understood to be short.
From persons believed to have a general
knowledge of its substance it is gathered that
its chief points are:
First, that the Presidents duties are chiefly
executive, and that therefore as a soldier acts
in obedience to superior authority, the Pres-
dent must obey the constitution as the supreme
law Of the land and obey and enforce the laws
of Congress. whose duty it is to repeal laws
when it is found they have become obnoxious.
zsSecond, that the political results of the war
must be accepted and upheld in good faith and
the constitutional amendments and laws
enacted in pursuance thereof must be fully
Third, the broadest Democratic ground is to
be taken on the Chinese question; that Column
bia is home and asylum for the oppressed of
all lands, but she will not tolerate ensavement
of labor in any form whether by foreign or
local contract
Fourth, that the duty of the President TO
make recommendations to Congress is to be
pursued in no narrow but in thoroughly nat
ional sense, and as local interests may conflict
the duty OF reconciling matters over which
sections may dispute belongs 20 Congress, the
1aw-making power.

progresses slowly. Water that was forced into
the cribbng room from high tides remains in,
but will soon be removed, as la steam sy-
phon will be put at work soon. The piling
