REPORT OF col. A. L. MILLS
Upon Which Was Based the Sentences of
the Culprits.

Following is part of the report of
Colonel y. l.. Mills. superintendent of
the West Point Military Academy.
upon which was based the action of
the secretary of war relative to the ac-
cuSed cadets. Colonel Mills SAYS: i
have the honor to report that ut dusk
on the evening of April 1G. 1901. inn
mediately after the dismissal of the
battalion of cadets on its return from
supper. large number of cadets be
came engaged in an insubOrdinate dem
onStratiOn directed at the Superintend-
ent of the Military Academy. The
demonstration took place in the main
sallyport of cadet barracks; then in
the area of the barracks. i'm the sink,
on the plain north of barracks. a. L,
finally. in front of the superb "dent >
quarters.
1T consisted of cheers, ending with
the names of two recently punished
cadets. several profane yells directed
ut the superintendent. and the moving
of the reveille GuIr9 ON its accustomed
place to position on the plain i'm
mediatly in front of the superintend-
ent's quarters, at the door of whi>A
the muZZle was pointed.
The preteXt for this demonstration
was punishment awarded Cadet Rob-
ert X. RalStOn. second class. in orders
published at parade that evening. The
actual cause, as established by the teS
timony of cadets under oath. taken by
n board of officers convened the follow
ing morning-which has made long
and exhaustive investigation into the
affair-was the resentment of a group
of inSubOrdinate cadets of the second
class ut measures taken by the super
intendent to enforce the law fO' bidding
haZing.
when the civilian candi dates re-
ported at the Military Academy for the
March entrance examinations ii he
came evident that members of the
fourth class were disposed to imprOp
eTly interfere with them. On March
l Cadet j. r. Richardson was detected
molesting one and was punished. On
March %, 1901, Cadet Lieutenant My
ron $. CrisSy. second class. was pun
ished for 'bracing' fourth class men in
the manner condemned in the report
of the congressional investigating COM
mittee in session here last winter. On
April Ii. 1901, Cadet Robert Il. Rails
ton. second class, was punished for q
fragrant neglect of duty.
THE evidence taken before the
board shows that the group of cadets
referred to. resenting the first and sec
ond of the above punishments, began
to engage in secret meetings in which
the superintendent actions were criti-
c.sed and condemned. and ugly terms
were applied to him before other ca
diets. The evidence shows that the
demonstration was first proposed in
ranks at parade. Immediately after the
order Furnishing Cadet Ralston was
published, by three cadets prominent
i'm the group. and the arrangements for
it were completed by them in the mess
hall at supper

MAST AND SAILS ovERBoARD.
Boat Is Stripped OF Everything Above
Deck Except Human Freight.


1t whipped. broke and doubled off to
leeward. carrying the whole weight of
the backyard and gear over the side
in Il terrible tangle. Almost as the
topmast fell the great steel mainmaSt
weighing more than two tons and car
rying spars and gear weighing an ad-
ditional three or four tons. swayed for
4 moment and then plunged over the
side and into the water. with the rip
ping sound of breaking wire and tear
ing gear in the air. As the wreckage
swept the deck it was astonishing that
no one was injured. For moment or
two the situation appeared TO be grave.
The king maintained his compOSure
Within five seconds of the disaster
the Shamrock / bore around to give as
sistance. when she. in turn. was caught
by the squall and her gaff and topsail
spars collapsed. leaving her helpIessly
crippled. As quickly as possible the
king and the royal party were trans
ferred TO the Erin and went to Cowes.
and later the king. accompanied 10y Sir
Thomas Upton. went to Southampton.
from which place his majesty proceed
ed to London.
Meanwhile the crews OF the racers
set about clearing away the wreckage.
Owing to the unwieldy nature of the
sparS and gear II was found impoS-
sible to get them on board. and they
were cut away and allowed to sink,
after buoys had been placed to mark
the spots where the wreckage sunk.
The Shamrock / lost her tOpSail in the
squall.
From the suddenness with which
all the spars and canvas were ripped
out of the challenger il looked as
though everything had been blown out
of her with one gust. The wind was
fresh at the time of the accident, and
was blowing occasionally in stronger
gusts, but Inere was nothing i'm the
weight of il to threaten disaster. 1t is
probable that the whole gear would
have stood the strain well enough had
il not been for n weakness i'm the eve
of the plate uy which the bobstay was
secured to the stem. This eve was the
first thing to break. and when it gave
way the unstayed bowsprit was unable
to stand the pull of the jib, and broke
off short by the stem head.
As il went the topmast stay was re-
leased and the spar doubled up under
the pull of the big club tOpsail The
jar of these breakages and the slack
ening of the stays weakened the main
mast. After tOttering for fraction
of a second ii crumbled up. breaking
first just above the jaws of the gaff
, and then within three or four feet of
the deck.

Also Thomas y. Gimpering. Ohio, and

thur We're both involved. but got off
with minor punishment.
Winds Up Their Career.
The five cadets who were dismissed
from the Military Academy and those
who We're suspended have ali departed
for their respective homes. There was
no demonstration on the part of the
other cadets. and all was quiet at West
Point last night. There is not likely tn
he an uprising among the comrades of
those relegated TO civil life, as was an
ticipated from some sources. There
is Il distinction between dismissal and
a discharge from the Military Acad
envy. When Il cadet is dismissed il is
final. and he can be reinStated only
by a special act of congress. He Also
forfeits his travel pay. In the case of
Il discharge a cadet may re-enter the
academy by Il reappOintment and the
approval of the academy board. There
are no words of cenSure here for the
course Colonel Mills has taken in his
effort to maintain discipline.
