Differences Between Cadets and su-
perintendcnt Are Before War De-
partment.
West Point. N. Y. May 81. The
statement that eighty cadets are under
arrest. growing out of the indignities
directed against Col. Mills, superinten-
dent of military academy. is believed
here to be false. The story of the dis
respect to Col. Mills was published
nearly a month ago. An Investigation
followed and the findings of the court
of inquiry were forwarded to the war
department at Washington a few DAYS
ago and no recommendations have vet
been made by the latter tribunal so
far as known here. 1t is true, however.
that two cadets are under arrest, the
result of a court-martial for a breach
of discipline which occurred a couple
of weeks ago. Both Col. Mills and his
adjutant, Capt. Rivers, are awsy from
the post on leave.

with which to mop his face and eyes,
and after the burial these sponges are

the tears into bottles, which he keeps.
