HAZING AT WEST POINT.
Summary of Findings of Court of In
Quiry-No Action by the De-
partment Necessary.

Washington, April 2.-The findings
of the military court of inquiry which
investigated the treatment alleged to
have been accorded to the late Oscar
L. BooZ, a former cadet at West
Point Military academy, have been
made public al the war department.
The findings of the military court are
summed up in a letter written to Sec
rotary Root, which accompanies the
report. This letter says:
THE findings of this court of in
quiry, which are sustained by the evil
dence, show that the statements,
which led to the converting of the
court, to the effect that former Cadet
Oscar L.. Booz came to his death by
reason of injuries received by hazing
at the academy were not true. They
show that, at the time Cadet Booz
was a member of the academy hazing
was prevalent there to a deplorable
extent; that the present officers of
the academy have shown commenda-
BILE energy. zeal and efficiency in de-
tecting and furnishing offenses of this
character. and that they greatly de-
creased the practice and improved
the public sentiment among the ca
diets upon the subject.
The testimony and findings of the
court were placed in the hands of the
committee of congress charged at
about the same time with the inves-
tioation of the subject, and the very
efficient and beneficial action of that
committee, followed by the legisla-
ton upon the subject, contained in
the act of March ., 1901, renders fur
Their action by the department unnec-
eSSnrN."

FREE FROM YELLOW FEVER.
For the First Time Havana Begins
April without a Single Case
i'm the City.

Havana. April 2.-For the first time
in the history of Havana the month
of April, begins without a single case
of yellow fever in the city. MAJ. W.
C. Gorgas, chief sanitary officer, IS
confident that, with the SANITARY
measures now being inforced and the
valuable information gained during
the recent Investigations of the yer
low fever commission, there VIII Dc
but few cases during the coming sea-
son. The marine hospital service Is
also taking precautions against the
bringing of infection int Havana
from Mexican or other ports. Dr.
Glennon, chief surgeon, has issued or
ders for a quarantine against these
ports beginning April Is. 1t is thought
that many cases in avana last year
were brought from Vera Cruz, which
is only two days sail from
Hereafter passengers from Vera Cruz
will be obliged to remain in quaran-
tine for three days.
Comfortable quarters are being lit
ted up near the immigrant station at
Cabanas. The immigrant station is
used only as temporary quarters for
immigrants who have nc employment
on arriving here. Under the old ar
rangement they remained in Havana,
and not being immune, they contract
ed yellow lever and frequently spread
it through the country districts. I'm
migrants are now kept isolated until
employment is secured for them, and
then they are shipped direct into the
country. The number of yellow fever
cases in Havana has decreased won
derfully since these precautions were
taken.
A regular quarantine station was
built by the Spaniards at Mariel. 1t is
considered one of the best in the Ma
rine hospital service, and will be re-
tanned by the United States under the
clause in the Platt amendment relat-
ing to sanitation.
