Fatal Somna mbulism-A Sleep Walkers
 Dreadful Deed.
 CHARLOTTE, Aug. 5.-At Tyro, a little vil- lage in Davidson county, Uriah Phelps has a store A few nights since he had difficulty with some negroes, whom he and his brother attempted to eject from the house. Antici- pating further trouble with them he secured MT. o. w. Click, young man who lives in the neighborhood, who is in the habit of walking in his sleep. They lay in the store and watched for half the night and finally fell asleep, having stretched themselves across the bed. It appears from subsequent developments that Click, the somnambulist, got Hp and seizing axe that had been placed near the bed to be used in case of an emergency, dealt his bed fellow two blows across the neck, completely sever ing his head from his body. Young Click is now in custody awaiting the re- suit of coroner's inquest. He professes to have known nsthing of the occurrence until some time after the decd was committed, and even denied that he did it until convinced by the overwhelming testimony of the blood stained weapon and the condition of his gar ments together with the fact that there was no one else in the room and no evidence that any one could by any means have entered and afterward gone out without disturbing the locks and bars. The case has naturally caused considerable excitement in the com munity Clicks well known habit of sleep walking, together with the friendly relations which had existed between the two men, turn the scale of public opinion in his favor. The result of the coroner's investigation and the preliminary trial is awaited with interest.

Ayoob Khan's Dflemma-Unnble to De-
 ter,nine His Future Movements-Los-
 ing the Fruits of His Recent Victory
 British Endorsements Arriving.
 LONDON, Aug. 5.-A dispatch from Viceroy
 Ripon to the War office to-day says that he
 has received telegram from General Sande-
 man, dated at Quetta August f, saying that
 Ayoob Khan was at Gangbar on the 1st in
 great perplexity, not knowing whether to ad-
 vance and risk an assault on Candahar or to
 remain stationary. General Sandeman af-
 firms that there is no doubt Ayoob's loss in
 his recent engagement with General Burrows
 was much more serious than was at first SUD-
 posed, and that in fact it is very questionable
 whether he is in condition to pursue his ad-
 vantage or to resist m attack from the force
 which the endorsements now advancing will
 soon enable the British to make As to the
 probability of Ayoob's attacking Candahar,
 General Sandeman is of the opinion that it is so small as not to need taking into account in making up an estimate of the situation, and
 yet it is equally clear that if Ayoob fails to seize upon Candahar the main object of his mission, which was to destroy Shere Ali and to remove the latter from his seat as Governor of that capital, will have broken down, rendering his late vic- tory a comparatively barren one. after all Shere Ali having fallen back upon Candahar, where he will have increasing British sup port, will practically nullify Ayoob's purpose to obtain possession of the stronghold and thus prevent union of operations between Shere Ali and Abdur Rahmann against him. This general conclusion is strengthened by intelligence brought to General SandemBn at Quetta by spies who report that Ayoob has express@ himself as having no hope of making a successful attack on Candahar. The telegram also states that the skirmishing which took place since the battle in kohkjok pass between Choman and Killa Abdulla, where communications open to the tribes men, is now IRown to have been an attack by the latter upon a convoy near Dinor ka- rez in which the Afghans were beaten of. A dispatch from Cabul to the Vlceroy states that the garrisons from Thu and Chil- ali have reached Hurnai unopposed; also that General Coughs brigade is at Shirpur near Cabul, where it will hold itself in readl- ness for events in the capital Abdur Rah-
 mann Khan, the new Ameer, is at Akeserai. He is said to be very nervous over the ev1- dent discomfort of his followers and inclined for almost any compromise to preserve his authority. Akeserai is about twenty four | miles north of Cabul.
 A dispatch from Bombay says garrison of twenty-five troopers at the Sunjarn pass, if ty miles from Sibi, have been killed by the | natives of the Bolan district, who are very restless. The remainder of the British forces will follow General Roberts from Cabul with in a week

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Protection for American Yes EeIs.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 5.-A report was re- ceived at the Navy department this morning from Captain Braine, commanding the United States steamer Powhattan, dated off Santiago de Cuba, July 2S Captain Braine reports all quiet on the Cuban coast. He was then en route for Santiago de Cuba. The report con- tained no additional information relative to the firing on the schooners Merritt and New comb Braine has not been instructed to fur ther investigate that matter, it having been thoroughly sifted by Rear Admiral Wynan Captain Braine will, however, look into the matter of the outrage on the Baltimore schooner George Washington as soon as instructions to that effect sent several days since reach him. The special duty of the Powhattan is to cruise in Cuban waters until relieved and while there to look out for and render all proper assistance and pro lection to American interests. It Is believed here that the presence of an American nan of-war in Cuban waters will prevent any further insults being offered to American yes- sels. It is the intention of the Government to keep at least one vessel cruising in Cuban waters during the summer season, and in the winter large portion of the North Atlantic fleet will be sent there.

the Free-For-Au.
 BUFFALO, Aug 5.-The third days sport of the circuit races was witnessed by an en- thusiastic crowd of twelve thousand people. The weather was magnificent and the track ine In the free-fo all race there were five entries, but Trinket, the Chicago mare, was drawn, leaving St. Julien, Great Eastern, Hopeful and Derby to start. In the first heat St. Julien, who was on the outside at the turn, trotted like the wind into first place, Hopeful breaking badly and falling to the rear. Darby, who was the second choice of the pool sellers, went second and followed St. Julien around the track with his nose to the gelding's wheel. The race was hot one, and St. Julien came in only length ahead of Darby, with Hope ful third and Great Eastern fourth time, 33, 1:O74, 1:42, 2:164. In the second heat Great Eastern had little the best of the start St. Julien trotted well, but seemed to make no effort Dan Mace pushed Hopeful so that the Gray broke and dropped to last place. Darby trotted past the other two and follow ed St. Julien around the track as be- fore. The king of the turf won 1 the heat by two lengths, Darby second, Hopeful third and Great Eastern fourth time 33, 1:074, 1:144, 2:164. l The third heat resulted precisely did the second, except that Hopeful made desperate though futile onslaught on St. Julien time 33t, 1:O74, 1:414, 2:15a.
 l The 2:23 race had five starters. The horses went of nicely, but Parana broke and the pole horse John S. Clark kept the lead hal1 way around, but Parana got down again and went to the front, coming home by half a length, with John $.
