Dismissed and Suspended Cadets Have
Returned to Homes.

WEST POINT, n. Y, May 22.-The five
cadets who were to-day dismissed from the
the Military Academy and those who were
suspended, have all departed for their re-
spective homes. There was no demonstra-
ton on the part of the other cadets and all
is quiet here tonight. There is not likely
to be an uprising among the comrades of
those relegated to civil life, as was antici-
pated from some sources. There is dis
tinction between dismissal and discharge
from the Military Academy. When a cadet
is dismissed il is final and he can be rein
stated only by a special act of Congress.
He also forfeits his travel pay. In the case
of a discharge q cadet may re-enter the
academy by a reappointment and the ap-
proval of the academy board.
There are no words of censure here for
the course Colonel Mills has taken in his
effort to maintain discipline.
