San Fuanoisco, Not 14 The Schley Court of Enquiry was ad journed at Washington after being In eeo* iioa over forty days, and making » record which, when completed, wll! oover about 2000 pages. Captain Lenly, advocate, made a closing argument at great length, [t was mainly an analysis of the testimony, bob occasionally a conclusion was drawn, and frequently there we a criticism of the course pursued by Admiral ('hen Com modore) Schley at the battle of Santiago. In this relation Captain Lenly said : — * From my knowldge of the man, having served under his command on two cruises, 11 have never believed, nor do I claim, from the evidence, that personal misconduct, or { to call a spade a spado, cowardice, was ex hibited by Commodore Schley in any part of his career as Commander in Chief of the Flying Squadron, but I submit, with I regret, that in the passage from Key West | to Cieofuegos, while at the latter port en route to the southward of Santiago, with out a settled destination, and in the affair of Key West, the Admiral exhibited unsteadiness in purpose and in push and in failure to obey orders/ •- After the adjournment Admiral Schley and hh course!for a time lingered about the hall in which they had recently spent so much time, and there were many affectionate words of farewell spoken. Admiral Schley, as usual, wae called upon to rtc ive the greeting of numbers of admirers, and many people waited about the d oor to bid him good bye. The findings of the Court may not be looked for imme diately, as the .Naval Court appointed to listen to the testimony will now goevar the details minutely, taking plenty of time for discussion, and for studying the records submitted as evidence, and comparing notes,

OFFERS SOME VALUABLE ADVICE TO EVERY READEa INTERESTED. Pet haps the reader la a * Doubting Thomas,' for Aehbortoa is fall of them* Doubt;, as a role, leads -to investigation, and as $ Doubting Thomas' will not accept as facts a long statement giving particular! of some incredible cure on the other aid* of the world, he is asked to investigate the following testimony of a local citizen :— Mrs 1J M McKee, storekeeper, Beach Road, thle town, says :—*l have been, troubled with a pain in the vicinity of the kidneys for a long time, besides having giddiness and headaches at the same time. I used several different sorts of medicines but none of them proved effective, and then I gave Doan's Backache Kidney PUlt a trial. These pills proved marvellous. Before I had taken them long I had quits lost the backache and also the headaches and giddiness. They ako acted eplendily for a run down feeling, making me feel quite strong and energetic They ara splendid pills and bhoald be used by every body who is at ail troubled with ths kidneys.. Do nnt be satisfied with any imitation of Doan's Pills. Remember it was Doan's Backache Kidney Fills which cured Mrs McKee, and you want the same remedy. Doan's backache kidney pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3.j per box (six boxes 16s 6d) or will be posted on receipt of price by the proprietors, Foster M< ; Oiellan Co, 76 Pitt St., Sydney, NSW. Bat be sure they are Doan's.

The Future of Mexico.

(Pec s s Ventura, at Anokland,) San Fbakcisoo, Not 14 Robert F Hill, a member of the United States Geodetic survey, recently returned from Mexico, reports that that country is rapidly becoming Americanised. 1 Mexico,' said he, 'is auoh an old country; there is nothing new there except} the thousands of American dollars which capi talists are pouring in. Mr Rockefeller, and the immense interests which are be hind the United States Steel Corporation, aie interested, and the nezb few years will sea such a development of mining aa no other section of the country has ever seen. Perhaps the greatest! development is la the copper mines, many of the mines worked long ago by the Spanish for silver are now being worked over again for copper, and are proving paying properties. Large smelters are being built in various part a of the country, and I believe more attention will be attracted to Mexicoj because of the mining opera tions than is now attracted to the mining fields of the far north west. The railway mileage is belt g rapidly extended, and American waggons and implements are being brought in. The people welcome Americans, as they bring maney and pay good wages. There is a steadily increasing profit in'silver mining in the country, ana tbe production has reached twenty five million dollars annually. In the last five years the production of gold has increased from two to five million dollars pet annum. There are about a thousand pro ductive mines in Mexico at present:
