Of the Cadets.

WEST PofNT, April 19.-Superintendent

was submitted the specimens OF chirography
from oil the cadets In the Military Academy,
has reported that specimen marked No. 0
pears q striking resemblance to the writing In
the note of warning sent to Whitaker before
the attack was made upon him. and he rec
ornmends that investigation be made In that
direction. The name Of the cadet represented
by No. s is not yet made public.
Cadet Dickerson testified before the court
of inquiry In the Whitaker ease to-day, aud
gave many reasons why he. thought Whitta-
ker mutiated himself. Among the half
burned papers picked up on the floor OF the
latter's room on the morning after the al
legged outrage, was an unfinished letter In
Whittaker's handwriting to his mother; this
letter witness, after consultation with two

SAN FRANCIsCo April 19.--In the police
court this morning the prosecuting attorney
asked the commitment Of Denis Kearney.
The latter was not present at the time but In

asked delay to enable him to apply TO the
Supreme Court for a writ Of habeas corpus.
The court denied the request as unusual and
extraordinary. A commitment was then made
out and Kearney, evidently greatly depressed
and chagrined, WAS taken below. In O feW
