While Sitting Bull with his 5000
warriors was engaged in the annihi-
lation of Gen. Custer and his devoted
following of troopers, Major Reno's
squadron of the Seventh cavalry was
battling with a band of Sioux not
many miles away in the country of
the Little Big Horn.
The Cluster massacre" overshadow-
ed all the other Indian fights which
took place in that red month of June
in the year 1876, and thus it is that
but little is known outside the circles
of the army about the gallant fight
which the unfortunate Reno and his
men put up that day against the
Swarming hOrdeS of sayages.
After it was known that Custer
and his command had been killed
there was criticism of Major Reno for
not pushing forward to Clusters as
sistance. The major had been given
orders to take another trail, and when
he felt the shaft of criticism he de-
manded that a court of inquiry be
convened to pass upon his conduct.
The court met, heard the evidence
and found him blameless.
Later in his army life Reno, man
of tried courage, committed indiscre-
lions which resulted in a court-mar-
tial and a sentence of dismissal from
the army in which he had served in
peace and in war for years.
Sergt. HanIeys Brave Act.
There was an incident in connec-
ton with Reno's fight with the reds
nearly thirty years ago, concerning
which the only facts set down in
ha fnr
act of gallantry on that field of battle
Sergeant Richard P. Hanley was
awarded a medal of honor. The non
commissioned officer received his dec
grafton for riding mule, a danger

so precarious that neither Hanley
nor his comrades believed when the
ride began that it could end in any.
thing but death.
Reno found himself confronted by
tremendous force of Indians. The
fight that ensued was one of the fierc.
est ever fought on the plains A
charge made by a part of Reno's com
mand, charge that literally led the
troopers into the jaws of death, turn
ed the tide of defeat, though a score
of officers and men gave up their
lives that victory might come.
The men in Renos command knew
that they were a match for five times
their number of savages, but they
were short of ammunition and every
time that the Sioux were driven away
they returned again to the assault
and every assault cost the troopers
dear in powder and lead.

Finally all the ammunition in the
outfit with the exception of that which
the men carried in their belts was OF

New Orleans, August 20. Nineteen

ed yesterday from thirteen infected

needed there. Baton Rouge has quaran-
tined the state OF Mississippi and Texas
has quarantined the state Of Mississippi,

Yesterdays yellow fever record show
ed an increase in the number of new
cases and eenters Of infection over the
day before, but indicated a decrease in
deaths from 13 to ). One Of the deaths
was Sister Mary Engelhesta Of the Con-
vent Of Perpetual Alteration, and her
case was not reported until her death
1t is the first from that institution.
Reports from the country are:
Patterson, six cases.
Eighth ward Of jefferson parish, one

it, and the Russians said they had no
confirmation OF the report.
Nevertheless, on all hands it was sd
mitted if Japan took this position, the
ground was cut out from under Emperor
Nicholas. NJ. Witte, by consummate
skill III c0nceding all the demands of
Japan involving the real issues Of the
war, had manoeuyered his adversaTies
into a position where unles they aban.
doned the claim for indemnity. they
could be held responsible for continuing
the war for money. The japanese by
now foregoing the demand for indem-
nifty, practically turn the tables upon
the Russians and shift the burden back
to her shoulders if She does not consent
to submit minor issue TO the impartial
Judgment Of a tribunal.
While apparently the real negotiations
I leading up to yesterdays denouement
were conducted By the President at 0vs-
ter Bay, acting through Baron Kaneko
on the one hand and Ambassador Never
on the other, it Is now believed that
much has been going on beneath the
surface here.
Visit Of Finaneier.
Another Indication of the sudden turn
| in the events was the arrival here last
night Of Frank Al. Vanderlip, vice presi-
dent of the City National bank of New
York. He registered at the hotel as
John Howard and after dinner went
to M. Whites room and remained there
one hour. When asked his mission, MFR.
Nanderlip said he was only interested"
| in the situation. He had met Mr.. Witte
several years ago when he was at the
head Of the Russian finance ministry
and had also seen him in New York upon
his arrival. He had talked with him
about the situation and outlook I'M Rus
| sia. the state Of the negotiations. etc.
lie eyaded inquiries as to whether the
subject Of loan had been discussed,
but considering the Importance Of the
financial group Of which the City
| National bank is a member ana the
fact that the bank took portion Of
one OF the Russian loans, It is fair
to assume that the question Of finance
was not entirely ignored
Some of the Japanese correspondents
were greatly excited last night over
the reports that the Toxic gov
ernment had surrendered on the subject
OF indemnity. They refused to believe
it, declaring that, il true, it would cause
a tremendous outburst Of popular feel
ing in Japan.
What Russia Has Given Up.
4 review Of the negotiations makes il
plain that Russia has really given ~
nothing that has not already been taken
Iby force Of arms. Here are the demands
which she admits: Japan's preponderat-
ing influence in Corea; the evacuation
lof Manchuria and its return to China
the cession Of the Iease-hoId in the Lao
Itung Peninsula to Japan; the transfer
Of the railway from Port Arthur TO Har.
bin, and the Siberian fishing rights
Every one Of these demands Japan has
forced BY her arms, except that the Rus
sian army holds two thirds of Man
i churia.
| Japan dropped her claims to interned
ships and d limitation Of Russia's nava
power, leaving the deadlock in the nego-
tiations on Russia's refusal to pay in
demnity or to cede Sakhalin, part Of
which island is held BY Japanese mill
ltary forces.

the contrary, letters found in their rooms
