Capt. Cook, of the Brooklyn, says
in an interview published in the New

for the loop" and he tells the rea-
son for it by saying:

and we were able to fire directly into the
bows of the leading ship of the enemy.

rapidly and beautifully.

Other charges against Admiral
Schley are that he might have de-
stroyed the Colon, which lay at an
Choir from May 81 to 81, inclusive, but
that he did not do so; and h a he
used a letter written to him by Lieut.
Hodgson, of the Brooklyn, lmprop'
erly. The lieutenant was reported II
an interview as saying that during
the famous 'loop," when Commodore
Schley's attention was called to the
fact that the Brooklyn was in dan
ger of ramming the Texas, he said
Up the Texas! Let the Texa'

allowed eight cents per mile while so

Officers travelling to the United
States from a foreign station Will
receive subsistence pay at the rate OF
from so cents to one dollar per day
if travelling on a naval vessel or on

Piled with this request, and appointed
Admiral George Dewey, Rear Ad-

miral Henry L. Howison to constitute
the commission. Capt. Samuel C.. Lem
", Judge advocate general OF the navy,
was designated to act as judge advo-

assistance of the law firm of Stayton

The preparations for the court OF

The navy department is doing every
thing possible to make the inquiry
open and above board. The new gun
shop at the navy yard fitted up for the
INQUIRY will have seats for mere than
600 people. This will make the inquiry
one of the most publicly ~conauc'eu
military tribunals ever held II the
country. 1t is recognized that there
is great public interest in the inquiry
and the department has departed from
the ordinary regulations governing
such affairs to make it as pubic as d
trial in any civil court.

replies to them, may be summarized

BOY FInDo RICH MINE.
Immense and Valuable Copper De- DOsits Located by a Little
 Mexican Lad.

What is believed to be one of the richest copper deposits in the world was recently discovered through a boys selling pretty rocks to an assay office at San Diego, Col. Several weeks ago small boy came into the office of Col. Robbins, an assayer of San Diego, with some pretty" rocks which he wanted to sell.
 The assayer gave him a few nickels and took the rock. Examination showed the ore to be almost pure copper streaked with silver. The boy had disappeared, but the assayer kept a standing advertisement in three papers for several weeks and finally located the boy and also his father.
 It was found that the ore came from about 25 miles below the Mex ican line, and the boy's father, An tonic Feliz, Col. Robbins and J. Wade Mcdonald have located the land un- der the Mexican law. Development work has begun.

 In order to improve. the skill of the man behind the gun the governments is about to inaugurate new gunnery practice system for both large and small guns. For big guns targets will be made 50 feet long, of spars, from which miniature masts ten feet high will rise, rigged with canvass, and shots will be fired at them at 2,Ooo yards, vessels making eight knots an hour. The navies of all other nations are having their gunners go through the same practice, and many plans are evolved to make conditions of gunnery practice as close to conditions in actu- al combat as possible
