BANK BLOWN UP.
Shock of the Explosion Felt
Several Blocks Away.

Cambridge. Mass. May 21.-What the
police believe was a daring attempt to
rob the Cambridgeport National bank
of this city by the use of dynamite. in
broad daylight was revealed at 10:45
q. m. today by an explosion in the bank
which blew out the side of the office,
damaged other parts of the building
and caused ex-Cashier William F. Roaf
to sustain a bad wound on the head.
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 conclusion and other evidences that
dynamite was used and that it may
have been set off by time fuse.
the bank is in a four story brick
structure in the business center of Cam
bridge. The shock of the explosion was
felt for several blocks, but no damage
was done outside of the bank building.

ROOT SUsTAINS MILLS.
Result of the Effort TO Suppress Haz-
ing AZ West Point.

Washington May 21.-Secretary Root
has approved the action of the board OF
officers at West Point which recon-
mended the dismissal of five cadets and
the suspension of six others. This sus-
tains the course Of Colonel Mills and the
other officers in the recent disturbances
at the academy.
Colonel Mills. superin tendent of the
tion with the secretary of war today rel
ative to recent disorders among the ca
dents at West Point The papers in
the cases of the cadets who have been
tried for offenses against the authorities
have been in the department for some
time. Superintendent Mills explained
the condition at the academy. insisting
that many of the published reports were
exaggerated The present difficulty
grows out Of the attempt to suppress
hazing and the restrictions that have
been made in this direction since Col.
Mills became superintendent The sup
erintendent spoke in the highest terms
of the cadets and thought it was only
question Of a short time before the GUS
tomary conditions would be resumed.
The matter of discipline was in question
and that must be maintained. The sec
rotary was much interested in the state
nent of Col Mills. Gen. Davis, the next
judge advocate of the army, who recent
~ has been stationed at West Point was
present during the greater portion Of the
interview. The papers in the cases
that recently have been tried are to be
considered and passed upon by General
