Chief Calls Account of How the
Brave Fellows of the Seventh Cav

Washington Star: Twenty-one years
ago yesterday and today occurred the
famous battle of the Little Big Horn,
in which General George A Custer
and his brave men of the Seventh cav
airy were massacred by the Cheyennes
and Sioux. The campaign against the
hostile Sioux, under Sitting Bull. Crazy
Horse, Gall and others, was directed
by General Terry. General Crook, with
1000 men, starting from Fort Fetter-
man, Dakota; General Gibhon, with $50
men, from Fort Ellis, Mont, and Gen
eral Terry, with eco cavalry and 400
infantry, from Fort Abraham Lincoln,
Dakota. General Terry established
supply camp at the mouth OF Powder
river, June 9, and there came in COM
municatiOn with Gi5bOn, whose COM
mand was at the mouth of the Big
Horn. General Crook encountered a
large force Of Sioux, June Il, on the
Rosebud. Terry decided to join Glib
hons force, but sent his cavalry by
a circuit 10 the Upper Rosebud. where
the whole command was to meet Cen
eraI Custer started on June p and
soon found signs of a large body of
Indians. On the Little Big Horn he
came up to their village. Major Reno,
with three companies. was sent to the
valley of the stream, where the trail
crossed il. Reno crossed. but was driv
en- back, where Captains Benteen and
Mcdonald with four companies. Joined
him. From $50 O'Clock, tbs 25th. till
o'clock the following day Renos force
was surrounded by upward of 5000 In
dians With their cups they dug
breastworks that probably saved their
lives AT night on the 18th some of
the men crawled to the river and got
water. The next day they fought in
the blazing sun all day without wa
ter. The Indians sometimes rode up
within 200 yards. Finally a soldier ran
out and scaiped an Indian in full sight
of his band and after that the charg-
ing ceased. The next morning General
Terry and his command came up.
Terry and his officers were all crying

and his men two miles away. Not a
soul of the band with Custer escaped
to tell what took place. The loss was
I2 officers, 247 men. five civilians and
three Indian scouts killed, and two Of

Ambassador Hay has been arduously
at work in the same lines ever since his

What was originally an effort on the
part of the Mckinley administration to
carry out the pledges of the Repub-
lican platform respecting bimetallism,
grounded upon International agree
ment, has become already joint move
ment on the part of the United States
and France to bring about settlement
of the monetary question through the
action of new conference. France is
the natural ally of the United States
in this movement, because she has
greater interest than any other Euro

The bank of France contains in its
vaults over s255. 900 in silver which
has been withdrawn from circulation
Both governments have a common in
