West Point Captains Disrated for Re-
fusfng to Obey Orders.

West Point, n. Y, July 15.-No greater
CONSERVATION was caused among the corps
of cadets by the outbreak of scarlet fever
than by the rumor passed along the COM
pany streets Thursday morning that the
four chief cadet officers of the battalion
had lost their chevrons and were relegated
TO the ranks for refusing to sign round
robin" against hazing issued by order OF
the commanding tactical officer.
The rumor seemed well established when
at the dress parade Thursday night fou-
regular army officers marched at the heads
of the companies and went through the
manual of arms just as naturally as they
did quarter of a century ago, when they
too were cadets.
Such a sight had never before been seen
at West Point. Cadet captains. or cadets
temporarily selected to fill the place. have
always marched proudly at the head of
the gray-coated companies, and after
bringing their men into line saluted with
that grace and precision only noticeable
in West Pointer. This was all changed.
The trouble between the tactical officers
and cadets has been brewing for several
days. A week ago the 'plebes." more
than hundred strong were ordered to
quit barracks and march over to camp.
The camp is situated on the north end Of
the plains, near Fort Clinton. II is a beau
tiful spot commanding full view of the
river. The camp is situated on the north
end of the plains, near Fort Clinton. It
is beautiful spot, commanding full view
of the river. The parapets OF the old
fort, which was built by Benedict
Arnold, shade the north side Incl
dentally, the moat has sheltered or proved
resting place for many weary 'plebe"
when the ghosts which always haunt a
''plebe" sentinel hurled him off post
Colonel Otto Helm. when he became
commandant. determined to eliminate the
ghosts. He was certain he could lay"
the ghosts. and took measures accordingly
Sentinels were placed at many points, but
the ghosts evaded the watchers
Colonel Helm saw that his original plan
for getting rid OF ghosts was going awry,
so he he hit on new one. and that is why
there were no captains to lead the battal-
ion to dress parade last night. Colonel
Helms plan was to get the four captains
TO sign a paper that they would report Mt
any time, while on duty or off duty, any
act of hazing that should come to their
knowledge The paper was taken to the
first capy.n and he refused TO sign. Then
ii went TO the others, and each in turn re-
fused.
Otto L. Helm is a captain of the First
Cavalry, but holds the rank OF lieutenant
colonel by virtue of his position as COM
mandant of cadets at West Point and in
structor of tactics, to which he succeeded
In June. 1897. He is one of the tallest
men in the army. measuring six feet two
and one-half inches.

Control of savnnnah's Quarantine.

The surgeon general of the marine hos
pital service has received word that the
city council of Savannah, Ga, has voted to
turn the Savannah quarantine establish
ment over to the marine hospital service,
the Secretary of the Treasury having
agreed to accept 1t, under the provisions of
section of the national quarantine law OF
February 10, 1893. Measures to this end
have been pending some time, the Savan-
nah authorities desiring to take advantage
of the governmental methods of dealing
with quarantine, expressing their conf
dence in the marine hospital service man
agement and by thus doing relieving their
port of the levying of quarantine fees.
Passed Assistant Surgeon ]. H. White has
been placed temporarily in command on the
part of the government, but the govern
ment will retain in service the quarantine
officer recently on duty under local man
agement and the quarantine employees.
This makes the fourteenth quarantine sta
ton conducted entirely by the marine hos
pital service.
