PRAISE FOR CoLoRED TROOPS
Col. scott of West Point Says They
Have Demonstrated Superiority
over white Cavalry.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.-Whatever may
be the attitude Of other communities toward
the colored troops in the United States
army. West Point has only words OF praise
and appreciation for the colored cavalry de-
tachment stationed there. Colonel II. L.
Scott, superintendent of the academy,
voices this attitude in his annual report to
the secretary OF war. made public today.
THE calvalry detachment (coloredj has
continued its excellent showing and has
demonstrated still further the advantages
Of colored over white men for this duty"
says Colonel Scott There is waiting
list now and only experienced men having
former service and very good and excel
lent records are accepted.
In referring TO the discipline at the acad-
emy, Colonel Scott says:
The discipline of the corps was generally
satisfactory during the year until July 4,
when conditions developed and overt acts
occurred which had to be put down with a
strong hand. The situation eliminated in
the dismissal OF two first-class men and
the suspension for one year OF six third
class men. Since the separation of these
cadets from the academy the atmosphere
has cleared and the usual high standard
Of discipline has prevailed"

comment today when the news came from
Willemstad that The Netherlands govern
ment warshps had been maintaining a
demonstration off the Venezuelan coast.
Nobody in Washington appears to have
been advised of this latest move. There
has been for some time talk of a blockade
by The Netherlands government of the
ports Of Venezuela. so as to force President
Castro to revoke his decree which prevented
the transshipment of merchandise from
Curacao to Venezuela, but Holland has
hesitated about proceeding in this direc-
ton because OF the conflict which would
inevitably come with the interests Of other
powers In Venezuela. The latest move re-
ported from Willemstad may, however, 1t
is said, be the preliminary step to a more
emphatic one, and may have been inspired
by the fact that President Castro is now
away from Venezuela.
