West Ponrr, Sept. 7.—Something akin to mutiny the cadets at Went Point is engaging the attention of a court martial, and yesterday thirteen officers of the army belonging to the staff under Post Commandant Gen. Merritt sat in all the grandeur of much gold lace and dignity trying the first on the list of the allegbd orderbreakers. The trouble began over a week ago. Each year the young men who have been two years in the cadet ranks are permitted to spend the summer vacation away from the academy. Immediately the commencement is over they fling off toe natty gray uniforms, don the latest style in civilian garb and fly away, via the day boat, for a Jolly time at home. The cadets left at the post go into camp on the northeast corner of the broad plateau. The cadets get an idea of camp life and spend the time very agreeably in a two months' idling with *0 recitations. As the furlough class go off in a body, so do they come back in a like fashion, and for year* it has be*p the custom when toe cadets in civilian mafti made their appearance on the plains for something of a college rash to take place on the part of the men in camp. The pilgrims were given a hearty welcome, with hand Shaking and embracing. In the greeting it generally happened that the high silk hats, which toe cadets off limits always wear, ware mashed and canes, too, ware reduced to splinters. It was all taken in good part and any company ef returning furloughen failing to get this old time greeting would consider themselves in a measure "cut" Gen, Merritt knew of the custom, but concluded that it. was an undignified performance, and so on Aug. 27 last, the day preoeding til* expected appearance of the absent second class men, be Issued an order directing that any greeting toought necessary should take place within camp ones. This order was rattled off by the cadet adjutant at the dress parade on the evening before and furnished the cadets a subject for their night chats. The general impression was toot the order was a sharp one. On Saturday morning sixty merry fallows tumbled up the long incline, calculating upon getting the noisy welcome. Thsty caught sight of the camp, and behind the sentry line they saw the reception committee ot cadsts, nearly 800 strong. The newcomers were not ware of the order of Gen. Merritt, and therefore ooold not appreciate the strain under which their companions in camp ware suffering.

West Ponrr, Sept. 7.—Something akin to mutiny the cadets at Went Point is engaging the attention of a court martial, and yesterday thirteen officers of the army belonging to the staff under Post Commandant Gen. Merritt sat in all the grandeur of much gold lace and dignity trying the first on the list of the allegbd orderbreakers. The trouble began over a week ago. Each year the young men who have been two years in the cadet ranks are permitted to spend the summer vacation away from the academy. Immediately the commencement is over they fling off toe natty gray uniforms, don the latest style in civilian garb and fly away, via the day boat, for a Jolly time at home. The cadets left at the post go into camp on the northeast corner of the broad plateau. The cadets get an idea of camp life and spend the time very agreeably in a two months' idling with *0 recitations. As the furlough class go off in a body, so do they come back in a like fashion, and for year* it has be*p the custom when toe cadets in civilian mafti made their appearance on the plains for something of a college rash to take place on the part of the men in camp. The pilgrims were given a hearty welcome, with hand Shaking and embracing. In the greeting it generally happened that the high silk hats, which toe cadets off limits always wear, ware mashed and canes, too, ware reduced to splinters. It was all taken in good part and any company ef returning furloughen failing to get this old time greeting would consider themselves in a measure "cut" Gen, Merritt knew of the custom, but concluded that it. was an undignified performance, and so on Aug. 27 last, the day preoeding til* expected appearance of the absent second class men, be Issued an order directing that any greeting toought necessary should take place within camp ones. This order was rattled off by the cadet adjutant at the dress parade on the evening before and furnished the cadets a subject for their night chats. The general impression was toot the order was a sharp one. On Saturday morning sixty merry fallows tumbled up the long incline, calculating upon getting the noisy welcome. Thsty caught sight of the camp, and behind the sentry line they saw the reception committee ot cadsts, nearly 800 strong. The newcomers were not ware of the order of Gen. Merritt, and therefore ooold not appreciate the strain under which their companions in camp ware suffering. It was the Milwauksb, Sept. 7.—Mrs. Pauline Mittsistaedt, who has bean running a lying-in hospital In this city for a year or two, has been arrested, and the most startling developnwnts regarding her alleged crimes haw* just been made public.
