Washing ton, May &22. Secretary
Root has approved the action OF the
board Of officers at West Point which
recommended the dismissal Of five ca
dets and the suspension Of six others.
This sustains the course of Colonel
Mills and the other officers in the re-
cent disturbance at the academy &%
The names of the cadets dismissed
and suspended will be announced at
the. military academy shortly.
Colonel Mills, superintendent of the
military academy, had a long consulta-
ton with the secretary of war relative
to recent disorders among the cadets
at West Point. The papers in the
cases of the cadets who have been
tried for Soffenses against the author
tiles have been in the department for
some time, but have not been acted
upon. perintendent Mills explained
the condition at the academy, insist
ing that many Of the published reports
were exaggerated. The present diff
ficulty grows out of the attempt to sup
press hazing, and the restrictions
that have been made in this direction
since Colonel Mills became superin-
tendent. The superintendent spoke in
the highest terms OF the cadets and
thought it was only a question of a
short time before the customary con
ditions would be resumed, The mat
| ter Of discipline was In question and
! that must be maintained. sEr E.$s s3s$3

ROB a BANK.
Disaster Wrought by Attempt to Rob
a Bank at Cambridge.

Cambridge, Mass, May 22: What
the police believe was a daring at
tempt to rob the ambridgeport Ma
tional bank ct this city by the use of
dynamite in broad daylight was re-
vealed at G10:45 a. M. by an explosion
in the bank which blew out the side
of the Office, damaged other parts Of
the building and in which Cashier
William +. Roaf sustained "a bad
wound en- the head. .E$
$ If the explosion was a part Of a
plot to rob the bank the plan failed,
for nothing of value was taken from
the place. 1t is thought from. the
force Of the concussion and other leyi-
dences that dynamite was used and
that it may have been set off by a
time fuse. The bank is in a 4-story
brick structure in the business center
Of Cambridge The shock of the ex-
plosion was felt for several blocks, but
no damage was done outside of the
bank building &SfsA-,

Germany's reported desire to send q

looked upon at the Russian capital as
detrimental to the prospects of peace

1--WE do not Understand. and we
have no confd dence: in these penal,
piratical expeditions, and only under

"It has needed much confidence in
the triumph of common sense and in
the triumph Of political peace over a
policy Of adventures and vagabond-
ages for Russia to remain calm and
cool during these long months of fruit
full deliberations and criminal expedi-
tions, complicating a situation which

IF the troops are being withdrawn
