WASHINGTON, - May-2-Secretery'Koot
has approved the action of the board of
officers at West Point "which recommend
ed the dismissal of :flve cadets .and. the J
suspension ot sis outers, xnis sustains
the course of Colonel Mills and the; other
officers 'm' thereeent "als'turbancres at thew Minister on "Way Bade to Japan
Academy. The names of the .cadets dls
missed and suspended trill be announced
at the military Academy tomorrow.
ORDER WILL BE READ TODAY.
Xnmber ot Other Cadets Are. to- Re
ceive Minor Pan Is tun eats.
WASHINGTON, May ZL Colonel A. L--Mills,
superintendent of, the. Military Ac
ademy, Jeft Washington today, after a
conference with the Secretary of War,
in order to "be" present at West Point to
morrow, when an order will be read dis
missing: five cadets from the academy, and
suspending six more pn charges of mutiny
and breach of discipline. There are a
large number -of other cadets upon whom
will be Inflicted minor punishments, such
as extra-"duty, confinement to quarters,
deprivation of holidays and reduction of
class rank. It Is understood that Doug
las Mac Arthur, eon of . Major-General1
MacArtnur, commanding In the Pniiip
pines, will escape with' a minor punish
ment.' An official statement of the -situation at
the academy was made at the War De
partment today. It was, said that the
cadets had been guilty ot acts which
would not be serious in another college,
but in view of the fact 'that thes& young
men were educated "by" the Government,
at a Government Institution, to learn,
obedience and to learn how to command
.men and themselves. It was necessary for
them to "be under a somewhat more rigid
discipline. The trouble grew out of at
tempts to suppress hazing. Although
promises of the suppression of hazing
have been made, "bracing" has been
.carried on against the .orders of the offi
cials. Class officers have failed to report
cases of 'bracing. There" also Is "the case
of Cadet Ralston, who was reduced for
not reporting misbehavior at the-mess
.table. These class officers were reduced,
and some minor punishment Inflicted. The
mutiny or Insubordination grew out of the
resentment of the second-class men, who
have been at the academy three years,
at these punishments Inflicted by the
-academy officials. It took f the form of J
aucn onenses towara tnejSupennienaent
as training the gun upon his quarters
and in other acts by Vhlch" the academy
officers could not but take 'notice. This
resulted In the trials and sentences to"
dismissal, approved by the Secretary of J
War today.
The papers In the cases of the cadets
who have been tried for-o'tfenses against
the authorities -have been"ln' the depart
ment for some -.time. Superintendent
Mills explained the conditions at" the
academy. Insisting that many of, the pub
lished reports were exaggerated. The
present 'difficulty grows 01ft of the" at
tempt to suppress "hazing and the re
strictions that have been made In this
direction since Colonel Mills became su
perintendent. The superintendent epoke
In the highest terms of the cadets.
There are two" other court martial cases
n the academy pending In the' depart
ment, where cadets have'beeH sentenced
to dismissal. There Is a rule at the
academy that a, cade't Invited o'uitd din
ner can be excused and Jeavfe rtie post:
Two cadets invited each, other' to"'dJnner,
and made this their excuse rfbr absence.

REPORT OF GOVERNOR ALLEN
Deems - Colonial Government Best
'Salted to Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON, May ZL Governor
Charles H. Allen, of Pqrto Rico, has
presented to the President, through the
State Dpartment, his annual report. The
Governor expresses the opinion that a
scheme of colonial administration, such
as is found In the Danish, French and
English West Indies, might be safely In
stituted with variations dependent upon
the future policy of the home gover
ment. The Governor refers to the many
suggestions offered that the form of ter
ritorial government adopted in the Unit
ed States be applied to Porto Rico, but
points out that .a standard form of such
government, while useful In the United
States, would not apply successfully to
this island possession. He calls atten
tion to the fact that while In such close
proximity to the United States, Porto
Rico has been a comparatively unknown
Island to Americans.
"I feel, as the result of a year's close
study on the spot of all the conditions
surrounding this problem," said Gover
nor Allen, "that Congress went quite as
far as it could safely venture in the
form of government already existing in
the island, and as the result of such ex
perience and observation I fully believe'
with good men devoted-, to the work, the
island will develop faster under such
form; itis people through experience and
education will advance more rapidly In
their knowledge of civic virtues under a
guidance of present methods than could
be gained In any other way."
The Governor epeaks plainly In present
ing the reason why this Island has been
at a practical standstill for nearly four
centuries, and says that In a climate
where a man can live In a hammock,
pick a banana with one hand and dig
sl sweet porato with one foot, the Incen
tive to Idleness Is easy to yield to and
brings inevitable consequences.
In conclusion, Governor Allen urges
the introduction of. fresh blood and Anglo-Saxon
push and energy as the means
of lifting the little island out of Its
lethargy, .and by thrift and industry de
velop lte riches to their full measure.

Unable (to
Greather
Attend Organization of
Sew Yorlc Democracy.
.NEW YORK. May 21. It was expected
that ex-Secretary John G. Carlisle
i would be present. and act as temporary
chairman of the 'meeting last night in
Cooper Union at which the Greater New
lork Democracy, was permanently organ
ized. He was unable to attend, but wrote
the following letter which was read:
"It is scarcely necessary to say that I
am" in full sympathy with every properly
directed movement to create an honest,
efficient and economical administration of
local affairs, and this, I am assured, is
the object sought to be accomplished by
your organization, and its efforts are not
to be confined permanently to local af
fairs. To secure this beneficial result we
can well afford to Ignore for the present
all differences of a common ticket which
will represent the best elements and the
highest Interests of the community at
large.
"There are 3,500,000 people here with
their homes, their business, schools, char
itable Institutions, social Interests all de
pendent mainly upon the municipal au
thorities for protection, and It Is no ex
aggeration to say that taking all things
into consideration the administration of
the National Government Is of less im
portance to the citizens of New York than
the admlristratlon of the local govern
ment. They can have the administration
or their municipal affairs if they really
want It; but It cannot be secured by di
viding the forces of reform and wasting
their strength in contests among them
selves." LAST OBSTACLE-REMOVED.
Gramp-Vickers-Betbleliem Combina
tion Is Assured.
PHILADELPHIA, May 21. The Press
'tomorrow will say:
There Is little doubt that the last obsta
cles in the way of the Cramp-Vickers-Bethlehem
combination have been re
moved, and that the official announcement
of the completion of the arrangemgnt is
now a question of a few hours only. It
was announced yesterday that the Vick
ers company has obtained an option on
the stock of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany at a price bordering on 23. The op-
j tlon is also said to include the Bethlehem
Iron Company stock at about the present
market price of 63. In order to complete
the transaction the New York syndicate,
which Is to underwrite the present com
bination, has been compelled to raise
about $15,000,00 in actual cash,, as it is
entirely a money transaction, and fully
that much will be required to purchase
the two Bethlehem companies' stock. It
will take 57.000,000 to buy the Bethlehem
steel stock.
Stockholders of the Cramp Company
will. It Is said, have the option of taking
cash or exchanging their holdings share
ior share for a 7 per cent preferred stock
In the new company. There is $5,000,000
worth of Cramp stock, and $15,000,000 cash
will be necessary to buy out the Beth
lehem. BUSINESS ITEMS.

as to the effects of the machinists' 'strike
on Government work in progress. The
Navy Department received wprdthat the
strike had spread to large private yards
on the Pacific Coast, where a number of
warships are under construction, and it is,
expected that the Eastern yards having
naval ships to build will also be affected.
The War Department was informed that
the strike was likely to stop work on two
naval transports, the Egber and Rose-;
crans, now repairing on the Pacific Coast.
Secretary Root asked the Navy Depart
ment to assist In forwarding work pend
ing the tie-up, and Acting Secretary
Hackett, of the Navy, ordered that the.
two Army transports be taken to the.
navy-yard at Bremerton, on Puget Sound,?
for the completion of their repairs. None
of the Government yards can b"e affected
by the strike, as an eight-hour day pre
vails in all Government work.
Word has reached the department that
Government employes are contributing,
funds In support of the strike movement,
but no attention will be paid to this mat

REPRESENTATIVES OF POTTERS..
Given Hearing: Before Committee ot
National Industrial Commission.
TRENTON, N. J., May 21. The United
States Industrial'- -Commission's subcom
mittee on -manufactures and business had
four people before them at their session
in this city today. These men represented
the "working potters of -Trenton. The main
speaker was William Clayton, who "read
a statement which had been previously
prepared,, and which set forth men's views
on different subjects- The paper advo
cated a stricter enforcement of the present
tariff laws relating to pottery ware, and;
charged that the present duty was in
many instances escaped in part, at least,
by lump invoices and by failure of the
customs authorities to examine thorough
ly all packages. It was suggested that
more Inspectors be employed, and that
men be chosen with a knowledge of the
pottery business.
Fault was found wjth transportation
rates, and it was asserted that goods
could be shipped from Liverpool to St. "
Louis cheaper than, they could be sent
from Trenton to St. Louis. Labor unions
wer advocated as beneficial. The paper"
stated that the relations between the
manufacturers and the men were very
harmonious. . ,
Some statements were also made by ex
Presldent John' A. O'Nell, of the Potters"
National Union, who said the less tink
ering there was with the tariff the bet
ter is would be for the trade. The com
mission will meet In New York today.
