HAVING AT WEST POINT.
Summary of Findings of Court of In- quiry--NO Action by the De--- partment Necessary.

! 4sSaski1gtcn. 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 foFmer cadet at West Point Military academy, have been made public at the war department. The findings of the military court are summed up in a letter written to Sec retary Root, which accompanies the report. This letter says:
 "The findings of this court of in- quiry, which are sustained by the evi- dence, show that the statements, which led to the convening 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 10 deplorable extent; that the present officers of the academy have shown commenda- ble energy, zeal and efficiency in de- tecting and punishing offenses of this character, and that they greatly de- creased the practice and improved the public sentiment among the ca dets upon the subject.
 The testimony and findings ofithe court were placed in the hands of the committee of congress charged' at about the same time with the. inves- tigation of the subject, and tlIs'very efficient and beneficial action of that committee, followed by the legisla- tien upon the subject, contained in the act of March ?, 1901, renders fur ther action by the department unnec- esSarV"

INITIATING SPAIN.
CUbnns Under Complete
 Subiection.

Three or four years ago, when Wey- Ter introduced his reconcentrado poli- cy into Cuba, the people of the United States were horror-stricken. The tales of suffering were at first not believed; the inAumanity of it all was incredi- ble. But as one after another of reliable newspaper correspondents joined the ranks of those already in Cuba it became apparent from their reports that even the sensational press representatives who had pre- ceded them had not exaggerated. They told in awful detail the suffer- ings of those compelled to leave their farms, already devastated and yielding but the most meager of crops, and move into the already crowded cities. where absolutely no provision had been made or could be made for their reception and care. From privation bitter enough in their own homes they were driven to the torture of death by slow starvation. As stories of cruel ties added to cruelties came to our knowledge, indignation waxed hotter and hotter until it burst into flame, and Weyler was driven from Cuba, shortly to be followed by the Spanish army.
 How sentiment on this subject has
 changed! How familiarity with the suffering of others has bred indiffer-
 ence! That same policy is being prac-
 ticed in the Philippines to-day by our
 own army officers. The latest report
 from the island of Marindueue de-
 clares that Maj. Smith, commanding
 the American garrisons on the island,
 has issued an order requiring all na-
 tives to live in the five principal towns where American troops are stationed. Those natives who continue to live ill
 the country will be considered insur-
 gents"
 | simple. Try as you may, you can
 make nothing else of it. In the as- sertion as made that the inhabitants
 of the Philippines favor a drastic pol | icy" the officers in charge of the re- concentrate operations but add an-
 other Weyleresque touch to their
 work. It will be remembered how Neyler said that the reconcentrado
 policy was ordered at tbe request of 1 the. Cubans themselves Ii vii! also be 1 remembered what an unmitigated liar | Weyler was shown to be. Is it prob able, then-is it human nature, which | is the same the world over-that these 1 Filipinos are imploring the American 1 army officers to drive them from their homes to starve in the garrison towns? Is it less of an outrage to inffict such | things on the Filipinos than upon the | Cubans? Is starvation more pleasant
 at the hands of our soldiers than at the hands of those of Spain? Is life less precious in Marinduque than in l Cuba? How comes it that the horrors
 of 1897 were potent enough to drive us to war, while the same course of pro- cedure in 1901 fails to arouse pro test?-Utica Observer

FREE FROM YELLOW FEVER.
For the First Time Havana Begging April Without n Single Case
 -.the City.

Havana, April 2.-For the first time in the history of Havana the month of April, begins without single case of yellow fever in the city. Mai 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 yell low fever commission, there will be but few cases during the coming sea- son. The marine hospital service is also taking precautions against the bringing of infection into Havana from Mexican or other ports. Dr. Gennon, chief surgeon, has issued or. ders for quarantine against these ports beginning April 15. It is thought
 that many cases ill Havana last year
 were brought from Vera Cruz, which is only two days sail from Havana.
 Hereafter passengers from Vera Cruz will be obliged to remain in quaran- tine for three days.
 Comfortable quarters are being fit jed up near the immigrant station at Cabanas. The immigrant station is
 used only as temporary quarters for
 immigrants who have no 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.
 l A regular quarantine station was
 built by the Spaniards at Mariel. It is | considered one of the best in the Ma 1 ripe hospital service, and will be re
 taiued by the United States under fht l clause in the Platt amendment relat l ing to sanitation.
