Woman's Suffrage.
Rochester, Aug. 16.—Miss Susan B. Anthony was
interviewed here to-day. She disclaims the widespread statement that she is to
work in the campaign for Hancock, Garfield, or anybody else. She had no part whatever
in the recently reported interview between Hancock and herself, and says that
neither she nor the National Woman Suffrage Association has agreed to work for
any candidate or party, not pledged to the enfranchisement of woman.
Miss Anthony says: "I hate the state
rights dogma, and the only thing that could make me willing to see the democratic
party in power even for one term would be its pledge to submit a sixteenth
amendment for woman suffrage. I surely would not work for the devil, personified
by the state rights party, unless he pledged himself to free women from their political slavery."

AFGHANISTAN
BRITISH OCCUPANCY.
LONDON, Eng., Aug. 16.—A military correspondent says
it seems possible that Gen. Phayre will not relieve Candahar, owing to the
deficiency in transportation facilities. The losses to the British, the battle
of the 27th of July, are positively placed at 21 officers, 800 Europeans, 700
natives killed or missing, and five officers and 90 men wounded.
CANDAHAR, Afghanistan, Aug. 16.—The irregulars occupy
the neighboring villages. Ayoob Khan has brought a few guns to bear on the
city, but they are too far away to do much damage. Eight thousand Afghans have been
expelled from the city. The garrison is well provisioned except with fresh meat.
Rumors of Gen. Roberts' advances have reached Candahar.
LONDON, Aug. 16.—A dispatch from Quetta says: A large
number of tribesmen attacked our troops at Kuch last night. The garrison of 800
native infantry behaved with great steadiness. The enemy were repulsed and left
80 dead.
PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 16.—A troop ship left here to-day, for India,
with 915 men to reinforce the army in Afghanistan.
LONDON, Aug. 16.—A dispatch from Quetta says the wire
was cut just after the details of the repulse of the Afghans at Kuch were received.
Altho' the defeat of the tribesmen appears to have been complete,
reinforcements have been sent in case further attacks are made.
Messengers from Gen Phayre to Candahar have
returned, as they were unable to enter the city. The siege has now commenced in
earnest. A heavy and continuous fire is kept up on both sides. Ayoob Khan is
attacking on two faces of the city. A large number of men are pushing forward
trenches towards the walls. Messengers deny that the Heratees have deserted
Ayoob Khan.
CANDAHAR, Aug. 11.—Colonel St. John has written a letter
to Ayoob Khan, asking whether the report is true that he holds some British
officers captured at Kushk-i-Nakhud.
LONDON, Aug. 16.—A Calcutta dispatch says: It is the
almost universal opinion in India that the
government in simultaneously evacuating Cabul and sending General Roberts on
his hazardous march to Candahar is unwise and rash in the extreme.
