CADETS ARE PUNISHED
Five Second Class Men Are Dismissed
from the West Point Academy.

Washington, May 23.-The names
of the cadets who have been dismissed
from the military academy as the re-
suit of the recent disturbances there
are as follows: Henry L. Bobby, Ne
braska; John A. Cleveland, Alabama;
Trangett f. Teller, New York; Ray
mond A. Linton, Michigan; Birchie o.
Mahaffey. Texas. All these cadets are
CT the second class.
The following cadets have been sus-
pended: Olan C. Aleshire, Illinois;
Benjamin F. McClelland. Mississippi;
James A. Shannon, Minnesota;
Charles Telford, Utah, all of the sec
ond class. Also Thomas n. Gimper-
ling, Ohio, and Harry Hawley, New
York, of the third class. These ca
diets are suspended without pay until
April 1, 1902.
Colonel Mills account of the trouble
as he related it to the secretary of war
is that one of the cadets had been
caught "bracing" one of the other ca
diets. This was regarded as viola
tiOn of the agreement between the ca
diets and Colonel Mills that there
should be no more hazing, and the ca
Diet was punished for the offense His
classmates became indignant at Col
onel Mills action, and claimed that
their understanding of the agreement
reached at the close Of the Booz in
vestigation was that "bracing" was
not included within its terms.
So incensed were the cadets over
the punishment of their comrade that
they determined upon demonstration
of their feelings, and, gathering in the
academy grounds, they quickly trained
the sunset gun upon Colonel Mills
quarters. This was regarded by Col
onel Mills as an act of insubordina-
ton, and when reported to the secre-
tary of war court of inquiry was
ordered to West Point

INsULAR CASES DECIDED
Supreme Court Renders Decision Against
the Government

/
Washington, May 27.-Justice
Brown of the United States supreme
| court has announced the decision of
| that court in the insular cases. The
announcement of the courts opinion
was begun at 1927. The main opinion
was handed down in the Delima case.
| Justice Brown first announced the
courts decision on point of jurisdic-
ton, holding that the court had juris-
diction. The Delima case involved
| the importation of goods into the
| United States from Porto Rico after
the ratification of the treaty of Paris
| and before the passage of the Porto
| Rican act.
Delima * Co., doing business in
New York, imported from San Juan,
| L. r., during the months of June and
| July, 1899 certain sugars, the product
| of Porto Rico Upon these sugars the
collector at New York demanded and
| collected about $4,000 as custom dut-
| les. Delima q Co. sued Bidwell, the
collector, as an individual, in the SUI
preme court of the state of New York,
| TO recover back the duties paid,
amounting in all to S13145, alleging
| that they were unlawfully demanded,
| in violation of the constitution and
collected by duress, the collector exact
ing the payment of the duties as a con-
| dition to the delivery of the sugars.
On the petition of the collector the
suit was removed to the circuit court
of the United States for the southern
district of New York which, sustained
q demurrer to the complaint both on
| the ground that no cause for action
was stated and that the court had no
| jurisdiction. From the judgment dis
missing the complaint Delima & Co.
prosecuted error from this court.
Justice Brown said that whether the
sugars imported from or into Porto
Rico were dutiable depends upon
whether Porto Rico is a foreign coun-
try. He held that the right to &C.
quire territory involves the right to
govern and control it by congress, but
he said that country could not be
| both foreign and domestic.
The opinion opposed the contention
of the government He concluded that
| at the time the duties were collected
Porto Rico was territory and not
| foreign country, but a territory Of the
| United States.
