Of Being Educated.

New York. Nov. 1.-The board OF
special inquiry ut Ellis Island adjourn
ed, today. without taking up the case
OF the II Cuban children who came

rection of Mrs. Katherine Tingley. The
children are detained on the island and
Dr. Gertrude Van Poit, in whose charge
they came from Santiago, is with
them.
Commissioner Williams said. today,
that the case of the children opens NJ
an important and interesting question
which will probably be used to estab-
lish precedent for future guidance OF
the department in the matter of the
admission of Cuban children to this
country for the purpose of education.
The technical point on which the chill
dren will be deported. if the board de-
cides to debar them. he says. will be
that they are liable to become Il pub

turn, claim that the presence of the
Americans prevents them from bring

There is much suffering on the 18TH
