THE RENO INQUIRY.
PROGRESS OF THE HEARING.

Chicago, 15'-It is claimed BY the friends
Of Major Reno that yesterdays evidence
before the court Of inquiry was important
in that it shows that Major Reno could not
have heard the noise Of the diminishing
from the position which he occupied, when,
as it will be attempted to prove by subse-
quent witnesses, he should have taken a
hand in the fight. The allegations of Whit
taker, six in number, and summed up az
being gross cowardice and neglect Of duty,
are before the court In the form of letter.
Lient. George d. Wallace, Of the Seventh
cavalry, was the frat witness to-day, and
was introduced by Recorder Lee. He de-
tailed the methods of dividing Gen. Gus
ter's forces. He said Gen. Reno's forces
when they came upon the scene were ex-
hausted through swift marching, and when
they met the Indians were over matched for
the time and compelled to retreat.
