The British Disaster I'm India.
WHO Is TO BLAME FOR THE DEFEAT.
LONDON, August 2.-Tbe Calcutta CORE
spOndcnt OF the Times declares 1t is the gen.
eral impression there that General Sir Fred
erick Haines, commander in chief OF the
military forces in India, is greatly to blame
for the disaster 10 General Burrows's CON-
mand.
LONDON, August 1.-The TimeS's Calcutta
correspondent says everything seems TO
point 10 General Burrows having been out
generated, and the battle OF Pbushki Max
had Will probably be hereafter cited as one
more instance OF the story, old as British
history itself, OF gallant army being ruined
| by the infatuation and incompetency Of its
leader and treachery OF its allies, as there
can be little doubt that Wallis cavalry went
over TO the enemy.
A Bombay dispatch reports that Khelat,
a GIZai garrison, is in yely precarious
state. Tribes are gathered in the vicinity,
and much anxiety is felt for the garrison
unless General Phayre relieves II, which
would delay his march 10 Candahar.
! LONDON, August 1.-The Viceroy OF In
dia telegraphed Sunday that Ayoeb Khan
did not follow up the British retreat. Gene
raj BurrOWs's force had arrived at Canda-
| bar. When the messenger left, AyOob Khan
was encamped where the action was fought.
| This seems TO confirm the news that AyOob
Khan had suffered heavily. This news was
! brought by the natives to Quettah. The
! VicerOy's telegram says our whole army is
not in the citadel at Candahar; but the word
"not" is probably a Geographic error Tor
"nOw."
LONDON, August "A Cabul dispatch
announces that Mr.. Griffin, British repre-
sentative, has met Abdurrahmar at private
interview. His demelnor was excellent.
There were but few troops with him.
Another Cabul dispatch says the pros
pect Of favorable settlement with
Abdurrabmar and speedy withdraw
al OF the army from Cabul are no
doubt seriously menaced by the disaster at
Candah1r, but General Stewards force is
adequate for any emergency and need feai
no combination which can be brought
against it. Mr.. Griffin has twice held inter-
views with Abdurrahman. General Stew
art will meet Abdurrahman in public. Dur
bar will he at General Coughs camp at Ka-
lahaiion Monday.
A Cabu dispatch says: "Mr. Griffin
held an interview with Abdurrahman on
Saturday at Emma, which lasted three
hours. I he British escort consisted Of
three squadrons OF cavalry, and the Ameer's
escort Of two hundred infantry. Abdur-
rahman evidently desires our friendship, but
feels insecure until he is more successful in
gaming over the country 10 his side. His
Turkistan troops are most suspicious, and
he finds it necessary to humOr them."

COMMUNICATIONS WITH CABUL INTERRUPTED.
LONDON, August "A Bombay dispatch
dated to-day to the Standard says: Com
municatlon with Cahul is interrupted. The
telegraph wires have been cut between PEP
wan and Lattaband."
NOT BED OF ROSES FOR THE NEW AMER.
LONDON, August 2.-The Cabul CORE
spOndent OF the Times telegraphed before
the interruption OF communication a fol-
lows:
"If Ayoob Khan is not too much carried
away by bis success to perceive the oppor
tunly which is probably open to bin, he
may he expected to make the best OF his
way to GhuzHee. His arrival there would
probably inslill new life into the opposition
leaders there, and the new Amer, instead
of being able to draw over the more infu-
entail OF them TO bis side, pay find himself
confronted in the first days OF his reign by
a revived opposition, which will render his
tenure OF power most precarous."
The Naval Demonstration i'm Turkish
Waters.
LONDON, August 2.-The Paris corre-
spondent oil the Times telegraphs as fol.
lows: "The negotiations for a naval de-
monstration in Turkish waters are still
proceeding and the final details OF the eXpe-
ditlon are on the point OF being settled.
There has never been the slightest founda-
ton for the report OF a joint Ango-French
command Of the expedition, Is all the Pow
ers are agreed in giving the command to
England. The periodical rumors represent
ing The scheme as having been abandoned,
and France. Austria, or some other Power
shrinking from the execution OF the plan,
are equally unIounded, but II the Porte
promptly settles the Montenegrin question |
the demonstration will be suspended"
