West Point, N. Y. April l5.-General
schoaeld stated to-day that there was no
foundation for the report that clue had
beenfoand to the perpetrators of the alleged
outrage on the colored cadet, Whitaker. lie
also said the public had got a wrong impress
sion that the present investigation by a
court of inquiry is the first that has
been made, when the fact is that
upon the presumption that the guilty parties
were in the corps of cadets, the commando mt
of the corps had used all his powers IN a
thorough and exhaustive investigation and
then reported properly for his failure to fer
rot out the perpetrators to the Superinnten,d'
emit. General Schofeld then ordered the
Court of In quirv to investigate the impuia'
ton cast upon Whitaker.

Beautiful, ,Awe-Inspiring, but Fortunately
Harmless Spectacle at NOrthfield.
NoRTHFIELD, June 24.-About 2:30 thisj af-
ternoon, peculiar phenomenon was noticed in
the northeastern part Of the heavens which
soon took the form of cyclonic cloud, which
gradually spun round and round until the bot
tom seemed to touch the earth. The form of
the cloud was like an inverted cone, up which
clouds were seen to move slowly at first, but as
they drew near the top, wound up the spiral at
frightful velocity. The cloud lasted for
about twenty minutes, during which time the
whole city was out watching its evolution. For
a time it looked as if we were to be visited by
cyclone, but owing to the variableness of the
wind, the calamity was averted. In its various
movements, the clouds would fade away. then
gradually grow darker until it stood dense
black against the blue azure beyond. Such an
interesting and beautiful spectacle is rarely
seen.
