By American Press Association to the srAR.
NEW YORK. August IA special from
Bismarck, D. T., says a new version of
the Custer fight has just been learned,
being the story related by Sergeant of
the Sixth Infantry. He asserts that
Custer was led into snare by the
treachery of q Crow scout named Cross.
This scout, with the guides, Girard and
Jackson, were all who escaped from the
massacre. 1t Is said that Cross was sent
out to reconnoiter, by Custer, the night
before the battle, and that he returned
in the morning and reported the Indian
village small one and one that offered
an easy victory.
Then followed the disastrous charge
and wholesale massacre. The Indians
were fully informed and aware OF Gus
ters intentions, and had made every
preparation to give him a warm recep-
tion. A breastwork Of willow brush
was thrown up, behind which the red
skins could pick OFT the soldiers without
being seen. Further evidence has also
been obtained proving that white men
were with the redskins. Reno's men
say that they heard, English spoken fre-
quently in the Indian ranks during their
ii sht. One OF the Indians shot by Reno's
men was found to be white man with
long gray beard, wearing all Indian
mask. A bugler, who was honorably
discharged from the Second Infantry in
1860, is also believed to be with them.
During the fight he blew the calls on his
trumpet several times.

"DEAR S1R-HaVing examined, at your

York CuStom-house, to surrender to
Mrs. Hooricks, Of Brussels, that portion
of the laces formerly owned by the
Empress Euaenle, or France, which
Mrs. Hooricks. has sworn was her own
personal property. These laces are
estimated at a high value Dy those who
are experts in such mattsrs, being of
rare design and wondrous workmanship
and the late Mr.. A. t. Stewart expressed
a strong desire to getpossessiOn OF
them when they should be offered for
sale, as they doubtless now will be.
The laces were seized by special
Treasury agent over year ago, on the
charge that they were smuggled, and
had been offered for sale. There are
twelve pieces which have been con-
demned to the Government, and these
will be sold shortly at Customs sale.
