MARSHAL BAZAINE. hI Sie ak Reasserting His Own Ingenuity and His Keep:rs’ Carelessness. Paris, August 20, 1874, Marshal Bazaine has written a letter to tne Min- iater of the Interior, in which he says that neither Oolone! Villette nor any of the other prisoners now 4n custody are responsible for his escape from prison. THE SAME OLD STORY. He declares that he had no accomplices in the fort or elsewhere except his wife and nepuew. WHY HE ESCAPED. The Marshal describes how he eluded the sur- ‘Veillance of bis jailer, and, in conclusion, says :— “Resenting the humiliating prison reguiations Tfelt justified in an attempt to recover my liberty. As Iwas not tried by my peers my sentence was Mlegal.” The Minister of the Interior Confirms the Marshal’s Story of the Escape. Paris, August 20, 1874, At a meeting of the Permanent Committee of the Notional Assembly to-day, M. Chaubaud Latour, Minister of the Interior, in reply to an tnquiry by a member of the Left, promised that the judicial Proceedings in relation to the escape of Marshal Bazaine should be vigorously prosecuted. WANT OF DISCIPLINE. He acknowledged that there nad been a laxity in the precautions against the escape of prisoners, * butsaid the investigation instituzed by the gov- ernment showed that the military duthorities at the fort were not compromised in the affair, He declined to give any further details of the in- ‘Vestigation.

THE INDIAN HOSTILITIES. vb General Sheridan Discredits the Report of Custer’s Fight—&noch Hoag on the Situation—The Shooting of the Dis- armed Indians. CHICAGO, August 20, 1874. Lieutenant General Sheridan discredits the re- port of a battle between the Inaians and General Custer, From his knowledge of the locality and of the Indians he is confident that no such collision could have occurred. Moreover, the mail rider would have to ride 200 miles to carry the news to Fort Sully, whereas the scout from whom he pro- fessed to have obtained his information had only about sixty miles to travel in order to reach the nearest telegraph station, No official report has been received of any such affair. Enoch Hoag’s Views. i WASHINUTON, August 20, 1874, Friend Enoch Hoag writes to the Commissioper of Indian Affairs enclosing a letter printed in the Lawrence (Kansas) Journal of the 12th inst, from a Barbour county correspondent giving a glowing account of an encounter between the military and a band of sixty Osage Indians on the 7th inst, near Medicine Lodge, in which the writer states they killed five Indians and had one white man killed, in connectiou with the subject Friend foag for- wards a report irom Agent Gibson, who says @ pacty of twenty men and nine women, proceeuing toward tie Red Mounds, met some white men, who told them that a herd of buffalo was in a cer- tain direction. They found the herd and killed several buffalo, and remained in camp two aays drying tie meat. When they saw a party of torty whise men in the distance two of tne Osages rode out to meet them, and were surrounded and dis- armed of their bows and arrows. four more rode out aud were treated in the same manner. Two more then approached, but were warned by the prisoners and turned and fled. others at the Same Ume attempted to escape, and four were shot dead. Tne other Indians escaped. ‘The con- duct of the wattes incensed the indians greatiy. and it required the utmost exertions of Agent Gib- son to prevent the getting up ol a war of parties, ip which labor ne is still engaged.

You ean rely upon it, we have no design or intention of getting a foot- hold in your neighborhood, and why the contrary is asserted I do not trouvle myself to ascertain.’” AN AMERICAN JOKE, My informant further’ said that Baron Gerolt laughed hearniy at the idea of Germany sharing the domain of St. Domingo with the Haytian Re- public at the other end, and treated the subject as an American joke rather than a fact worthy of belief. REITERATED DENIAL FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT. The Assistant Secretary of State, Mr. Cadwalla- der, to~lay said to your correspondent that the department bad nothing additional to add to what had been communicated by Secretary Fish yester- day. The proposition of Germany ever wishing to have a possession in this counury had been long | since exploded. “But, Mr. Cadwallader, has it not been an- nounced that Minister Davis, at Berlin, and Cush- ing, at Spain, had this subject on their memoranda of instructions?”” “Yfnat is as absurd as the current story about Porto Rico. If that is without foundation what | reason for saying that our Ministers to Germany | and Spain were expected Lo say so and 80? As to St. } Domingo, the Commissioners were wiser in their | generation than the children of light, or, plainiy | speaking, they profess to have known more than | the State Department. Aside from all this, Secre- tary Fish is necessarily engaged to-day with the never would have written that, Besides, were old Mr. Hamilton Fish’s knowl- edge of European atplomacy more accurate than it is, could it reach a time in which an old “sea- dog” of the Spanish navy, dragged away from the ships he haa commanded for nearly a quarter of a century and thrust into a diplomatic position for which he had no desire, found himself represent- ing not even a shadow of Spanish royalty, not even ashadow ofa Cortes representing Spanish nationality, but a usurped dictatorship of the thrice perjured caitif, Serrano ? As the late Mr, Lincoln would have said, ‘It re- minds me of a little story.”’ It is, if | mistake not, of the reign of George JIL, of England. The proud family of the Percys was extinct. The last rem- nant, a female, was married to a rich burgher, who bought or some way gained the oid title of Duke of Northumberland. He asked some favor or other of the Court, was snubbed, and. appealed personally to the functionary King of England. “Ibis, I think, the first time, Your Majesty, that a Duke of Northumberland ever asked so small a favor of royalty and was retused!’? The reply is said to have been :—‘‘Very possible, sir.. 1 think also it 18 the first time a Mr. Smith has been Duke of Nortnumberiand!"” There seems to be some persons near Mr. Hamil- ton Fish who profess to be better judges of style than he is; and some of these say that the ring of the despatches 1s other than the gallant old Admt- ral Polo would have given in his writings. The question is not as to the style, but as to the signa- ture, But Tsee nothing in the style not in the competence of an old wary officer of Spain, goaded to desperation by the imbeciles of Madrid. But, with style, or precedents, or works of inter- nal evidence, I have nothing to do. I hold the transcript of the despatches on the evidence on which I have received them. I do not hold them subject to the call of Mr. Hamuton Fish nor of any one occupying public place. Had the peo- ple of the United States, as a government, had men fitted for their places, either in the Depart- ment of State at Washington, orat Madrid, or at Berlin, { would have had no revelations, possibie tor me to make. The matter was “on the cards" @ year ago.

I speak with absolute certainty when I say THK ONLY AIM OF GERMANY now is to make its consolidated governmens more compact, to develop its institutions, everywhere encourage the arts of peace and secure to our- selves an tmpregnable position among the nations by unifying and solidifying the interests of the whole Kmpire. “You will argue then that such a departure as is now reported would necessarily turn my govern- ment from this policy of maintaining friendly rela- tions with all nations, put tt in hostile attitude and endanger the security which it now enjoys from encroachment upon its borders. Of such a course I say unequivocally my government is an uncompromising enemy.
