STATEMENTS LY TIEM ARTO THE DATTLE OF THR LITTLE D10 HORN, Correspondence New York Hlerald, Mourit or Tir Rosenun, Aug. .—Consider- able anuoyance i8 felt by the oflicers who par- tielpated In Custer’s fight, on sceount of the in- correct or garbled sccounts published in some papers, They claim that o good many officers wrote s good deal about the fight who knew nothing of It, and that they have perhaps un- wittingly done thelr comradea serfous fnjustice. Under these circumstances I thought it well to Interview both Col. Renoand Cal, Bentecn, who, by general consent, were the persons who could giva the fullest account of the whole affair. INTEIVIEW WITH RENO. Col. Reno is of middle stature, very strongly bullt, has & swarthy complexion and dark eyes, combined with a certain rapld action and frank- ness of manner which make a favorabie finpres- #ion, He looks every Inch a soldler, and, judg- {ug from his appearance and temperament,would be the last man to leave a comrade Inatight place without naking an cffort to save him, He is very inuch annoyed at the unfair criticism passed upon the surviving officers of the Sev- euth by the people who knew nothing of the Lattle, Gen Rosser's letter he thinks wholly unwarranted. Col, Reno sald: *“1don't usually puay atteutlon to whatis written about me; but In this care I felt com- pelled to reply, as much on behalf of the other officers of the Seventh as in my own, Your correspondent loquired If Col, Reno had any vbjection to let the Herald corrcepondent see hisletter to Rosacr, and offering, fn behalf of the Jlerald, to publish any statement he wished to inake about the fight us a matter of falr ['h‘i" ‘The Colonel finmediately handed the draft of lls letter to the correaponifent for pub- lication fu the Herald. 1t reads as followa: MENO TO NOSSER. 1IZADQUARTENS _SEVEXTI REGDIENT CAVAL- 1y, CAMP ox THE TELLOWETONE, July 30, 1; Al P.
