ANNAPOLIS, Md. Feb, I2.-In the
presence of fully $500 persons, 1874 mid
shipmen of the class of 1896. were grad
uated from the United State Naval
Academy here this morning. Secretary
of the Navy Charles J. Bonaparte de-
livered the address of the occasion and
personally presented the diplomas to
the graduates, greeting each OF them
with Il hearty handshake a. he handed
10 them the coveted parchments for
which they have studied and worked for
three and One-half years.
The small number graduating is due to
the fact that eleven of the midshipmen
are deficient in one or more branches of
work and three more have been impli-
Gated in hazlng by the testimony ad-
duced before the board of investigation
and settle with the authorities before
graduating
May Be Ke-examined.
Il Is believed that the eleven midship-
men who are deficient win be re-exam-
med in a few of those branches. and
viii then be given their diplomas. In
the meantime they viii be ordered to
sea. as will their classmates. but will not
be allowed 10 wear the insignia or uni
form of a passed midshipman
of these young men Is that some of them
stand much higher in the general aggFe-
gate than some of those who passed in
al subjects THIS is particularly the
case with AIidshipmau VestaI P Coffin.
of Boise, Idaho, whose general standing
IS No. 2I
