THE BURROWS DISASTER.

LONDON, July 25.-A Dublin
dispatch to the Times says; ''News
of the disaster in Afghanistan has
caused the deepest sorrow and con-
sternation here. So profound an
impression has not been produced
on the public mind since the first
battle of the Crimea." The news
has caused great excitement in the
house of commons. The marquis
of Harrington, secretary of state
for India, is expected to make furS
ther statements to-day.
The Standard this morning says :
One distinct and fixed point is that
our supremacy must be slgnally and
effectively vindicated, and the crush

to home government.
A correspondent of the STANDARD
at Bombay says: "The new'
from Candahar has caused immense
excitement and CONSERVATION
throughout India. 1t had been re,
garded so certain that Gen. Bur
rows force was perfectly capable Of
opposing Ayoob Khan's irregulars
that no shadow of anxiety was felt
for his safety. The viceroy sum
moned his council in haste the in.
slant the news of the disaster arrived,
and although some hope was
expressed that the report of the
losses had been exaggerated. There
is nothing in the latest news at
hand to encourage the hope that any
considerable body of infantry, at
least, has escaped. The chief anx-
iety at present is for the safety Of
Candahar. The loss of this city
would be terrible blow to us and a
frightful misfortune to the inhabis
tants, as the city would certainly be
Quilted by Ayoob Khan's troops.
From Cabul we learn that cons
plications are already arising at
Ghuznee and there can be no doubt
that the defeat will exercise an inn
mense effect On the situation al
Cabul. 1t is considered certain that
Ayoob khans' attitude will modify
the resolution to leave Abdurr
Ahmann Khan to establish himself
aided only by money"and that the
execution must be delayed. The
opinion is unanimous as to the ne
cessity of complete reVindication
of our arms.
The troops that are now under
orders for Bombay are the 3Sth
regiment, first battalion Of the 23d
regiment and the kings dragon
guards from Cape of Good Hope.
The Indian troops ship, Euphrates,
was to leave for Bombay in August.
The Malabar and Jumma were to
leave in September, and Scraps and
Crocodile in October. Two Of these
vessels can be ready in a week.

KNOXVILLE, TENN: FRIDAY
DR.. TANNER.

New YORK, July 29.-At 1890
last night, DR.. Tanner was suddenly
taken sick. He complained of pain
in the stomach and nausea and
threw up some thick mucous fluid.
Much alarm was felt at first for fear
the sickness would prove too much
for the doctor, in his feeble condi-
ton. An alcoholic vapor bath was
ordered by his physicians
to quicken the circulation, and
to secure, if possible, free
perspiration. After taking q bath
the doctor spoke of feeling hetter,
and after few minutes he lay down
and fell asleep. At midnight he
was once more resting quietly, be-
ing very closely watched. At 1:30
this morning DR.. Tanner was sleep
ing quietly, his condition was no
way changed. When last taken
his temperature was % 2-5,
his pulse "A, and his
respiration 16. At eight thirty
p. m. DR.. Tanner drank eight ounces
of mineral water, much against the
advice of DR.. Miller, under whose
care he was at the time. He was
very impatient and restless. He res
fused to take his bath until the ara
rival of DR.. Gum.
LATER.-There was a decided
change for worse in DR.. Tanners
condition tosday. He is weaker
than at any time during the fast,
and his eyes are dull and heavy. AT
| noon he was suffering with pain,
though he denied the evident fact His
symptoms were so alarming during
the morning that his physicians de-
cided to have beef extract, warm
water and brandy ready for an
emergency. The doctor is much
troubled with wind on the stomach,
but while making light of bis
symptoms says if the hiccoughs
set in he will at once break
his fast. At one o'clock
this morning three ounces Of warm
water were given him to relieve the
pain. Four hours later he again
complained and asked for few
drops of peppermint, but was re-
fused. He sought relief at pound
ing on his ribs. After his return
from his usual morning walk he was
given q little ice water and small
piece of ice. He soon after vomited
nearly one and athalf ounces OF
mucus, tinged with bile. He was
weak and helpless for nearly an
hour afterwards. Al one time he
took warm foot baths to relieve the
congestion of the stomach by in
creasing the activity in blood circus
lation. He thinks he has caught 6
slight cold. He was asleep wher
the thirtyAsecond day was entered
on at noon.

PAPER MAKERS.

SARATOGA, July 28.-The Ameris
can Paper Makers Association be-
gan its third annual session at the
Grand Union Hotel at II o'clock
this morning. About one hundred
members were present. The presi>
dent, William Whiting, of Haloyoke,
being absent Willington Smith, Of
Seemass, first vice president, took
the chair, and, before reading the
call, made a few remarks on the
present condition of the paper trade.
He says that the advance in the
price of paper since the last meet
ing had come from the extraordinary
demand for paper caused by the
general prosperous condition of the
country, which had stimulated
production, and this, in turn,
had caused the great use in
paper stock and chemicals used in
its manufacture, which had increased
the cost Of making paper more
than the rise in prices. He stated
that the attacks of the press on the
paper manufacturers for this rise
was malicious and uncalled for; that
they had said that the rise was
caused by combinations, and de-
manded reduction on wood pulp.
The paper makers had been glad of
the opportunity to present the facts
to congress and thus justified
themselves. The advance in
paper had not been nearly as much
as it had been on iron. IF congress
goes into general revision of the
tariff, paper makers will readily
share with other manufacturers in
such reductions of duties as may be
deemed necessary. The introduc-
ton Of wood pulp has caused an
unprecedented reduction in the
prices of newspaper. Home CONS
petition will soon reduce prices.
Reports from divisions were then
called for, but none were forthH
coming.

DENVER, Col, July 29.-Advices
to the Tribune from Santa Fe say {:
Advices from Mexico state that on
the 21st inst. Col. Adolf Wales, in
command of 370 cavalry and $50
infantry of the federal troops of
Mexico, attacked the Apaches under
Victoria about forty miles from old
Fort Quitman. The fight was in

three men killed and about
ten horses. The Indians lost four
warriors and six horses. On the
26th the Mexican force again at
tackled the Indians in Pine noun
tain, about fifty miles from the line.
After a long fight the Indians re-
tired. Their loss is unknown. The
Mexicans lost six killed: Col. Wales
intends to follow and attack them
again. He is of the opinion that
they will try and get back to New
Mexico, in which case Col. Grier'
son and eight companies of the 10th
cavalry, who are stationed within
forty miles of their crossing place
will doubtless be on their trail with
in few hours after they cross.

LONDON, June ZS.
1t is believed at the war office
that Gen. Burrows force consisted
of E battery of B brigade of the
royal horse artillery, third regiment
of Siende horse, the Paona horse
and detachment of the Goth foot,
IA officers and 470 men, the first
Bombay native infantry and the
nineteenth Bombay infantry, MAXI
ing total of 2,700 men.
The following is the Ruter dis
patch announcing the defeat of the
British:
TIMLA, July 28.-Gen. Burrows
has been severly defeated by Ayoab
Kahn, sustaining great loss. His
forces were dispersed and'compelled
to fly, being pursued three miles.
They are now struggling back to
Candahar in dribles. Two guns
were lost.
The Marquis of Harrington
stated in the house later that the
government had received further
advices from Afghanlstan: General
Burrows brigade numbered between
1000 and 5000 men. The army
under Ayoab Khan was stronger
than was expected, consisting of
10000 men and 36 guns well
served. Strong reinforcements
have been ordered to the front, and
it would perhaps be necessary
to send troops from England.
Lord Harrington confirmed the re-
port that a part of Gen. Burrows s
force consisted of a battery of
English artillery and a battalion
of the sixty-sixth British infantry.
He said he did not know what force
Gen. Primrose had in Candahar in~
dependently of Gen. Bur-
rows brigade. He thought
it probably was not over
1000 strong, but when Gen. Bur-
rows brigade were detached some
of Gen. Phayres troops were or
dered to reinforce Candahar. If
this reinforcement was effected Gen.
Primrose's force would perhaps
reach 1000. Lord Harrington
stated further, that he had received
a dispatch from the Viceroy of
India, stating that Gen. Burrows
has been severly defeated, and that
Gen. Primrose has vacated his
cantonments at Candahar and
retired to the citadel. Reinforce
ments are already on the way and
will be pushed forward as rapidly as
possible An additional force will
be sent from India. 1t may be nee
essary to anticipate the usual reasons
of relief from England.
Another dispatch has also been
received from the governor of Bonn
bay, who says: "We can
furnish for an emergency three bat
teries, one regiment of British cav
airy, half a regiment of native
cavalry and two regiments of British
and six regiments of native in
fantry, besides a battery and two
battalions in Sciade.
General Phayre telegraphS that
fragments of Burrows force are ar.
irving at Candahar.
