An Earthqunke at Smyrna.

LONDON, July 29.-A dispatch from Smyrna says that the city was to-day visited by an earthquake which threw several houses to the ground and split the walls of the telegraph office. The shocks were repeated several times at short intervals, the people running from their houses and business places in great consternation. The waters of the gulf were greatly agitated and the waves advanced in several places on a level with the Greek and French quarters, which extend for more than two miles along the shore. On account of the lowness of the houses, which seldom exceed one story in height, the damage was not seri- ous, taking the city as q whole. Smyrna has often been visited by earthquakes, many of which have been very destructive To-day's shocks continued but few minutes passing apparently from west to east with an undu- lating motion.

The Slaughter at Candahar r- Feverish
 Anxiety for Details-NIourning Through
 out the Nation - General Burrows at
 Candnhar-SIOv Progress of the Rein
 forcements.
 LONDON, July 29.-Universal lament rises from the nation through the press this morn ing at the disaster at Kuchki Nakud. On every hand there is an expression of intense anxiety for details, which are not forthcom- ing, none of the journals being represented at the scene of the calamity. The blow has fallen like 8 thunderbolt, notwithstanding that it was known that Ayoob Khan was ad- vancing with the Heratis upon Candahar. The evening papers and morning extras give g few further particulars and the names of some of the officers killed General Burrows survives and has reached Candahar The horse artillery and cavalry are struggling into Candahar in twos and threes. Remnants of the defeated force were pursued four miles. The chief interest is now centered in the cit adel of Candahar, in which the remaining force has found refuge with the garrison It must be several days before the relieving forces can advance from Quetta through the Khojah pass. If, as stated, the citadel is dominated by several neighboring buildings, it's defenders may have hard time. All re- ports concur in the statement that Ayoobs guns were well worked.
 A dispatch from Bombay says that General Phayre expects to start with fully provided column from Quetta for Candahar within fortnight.
 General Primrose has already been joined at CandahaSaby two regiments, who are en route.
 A dispatch from Bombay says Candahar is fully provisioned and can hold out until the end of October. General Burrows defeat occurred near Kuchki-Nakud. The foreign press are inclined to attribute the disaster to the vacillating policy of the Government. English endorsements for Afghanistan are actively preparing.

The Seawanhaka Disaster-A Heroic
 Captain's Stafement-Why He Stood
 By His Vessel.
 NEW YORK, July 29-Coroner Brady to- day commenced an inquest upon the bodies of those lost on the Seawanhaka. Captain Smith, the hero of the disaster, was in at tendance, his head wrapped in bandages, as he is still suffering from the effect of burns. Andrew Cauldwe1l, boiler inspector, testified that he examined the boilers in March last and subsequently inspected them two or three times, and found them in good condition. After the disaster he again examined them, and from their condition concluded that the fire originated from hot coals under the ash pan. Andrew Craft, assistant United States inspector of hulls, testified that he had ex- amined the Seawanhaka in March last, but not subsequently,. J. w. Ray, mate of the boat, gave unimportant testimony, and then Captain Charles P. Smith was sworn. His first intimation of the fire was flash of flame near the smoke-stack He heard no explosion. 'sYou stood by her to the last ?'' asked the coroner s'Yes," replied Captain Smith, calmly, 'there was nothing else to @O. ln0 WlGu6SS ndL 1OEIlSl AO Op1u1OI4 O1 the cause of the disaster. There were more than three hundred life preservers on board, and between two hundred and fifty and three hundred passengers. Everything possible was done to save life.
 Dennis Murphy, deck hand, testified that there were no life preservers in the saloon aft. He did not see any life preservers on the passengers who were drowned. The crew never exercised as a fire brigade and he never received orders to give passengers life preservers in case of an emergency Edgar Weeks, engineer of the Seawanhaka, next testified that his attention was first attracted to the fire by a rumbling noise. He looked into the fire room but nothing He then turned off the jet apparatus and then notified the captain that the boat was on fire. The witness thought that the fire caused by reaction in the draft of the starboard boiler, which set the woodwork on fire. He did not know what caused this back draft altogeth- CT he thought the fire one of those una voidable accidents likely to occur anywhere. The flames shot over a distance of twelve feet from the boiler to the woodwork. Fire man M. Field testifes that there were no life preservers in the ladies' cabin on the lower deck The inquest was then adjourned until Friday.
