Hong Kong, May 31.-Since his ar
rival here on May 23, on board his
flagship, the United States cruiser
Olympia, Admiral Dewey has i'm
proved in health, but he still refuses
all invitations of social nature The
Admiral has also relinquished all Of
fetal duty on board the Olympia.
The date Of his departure for home
is still uncertain, his intention being
to remain here until he has thoroughly
recuperated. The air of the high
ground here is much cooler than at
any place between Hong Kong and the
Mediterranean Sea.
The programme for the Olympia's
voyage to the United States has not
been definitely decided upon. 1t has
been determined, however, TO stop at
the Piraeus, from which port Admiral
Dewey will go to Athens to pay his re-
spects to King George Of Greece. The
Olympia is being painted white, in
stead of the dark slate color which
was applied at the breaking out of the

Bangor, August l2.-Ths dead bodies
of William Goliath. aged go, and Harry
Quimby, aged 10, of Exeter, were found
in Ste.sonss Pond this morning with
their faces battered and bruised. Il
was reported that they had been
drowned. Foul play WAS suspected and
a searching party was immediately orga-
nized to go to the scene Rowing to the
head OF the pond the iodies were
found. Coroner Barrows tez+n an in
quest today. The hearing was t en- con-
tinued TO Monday. Coroner Barrows
could NOT be reached this evening by tele-
phone by the Associated Press representa-
tive, he having gone to Lake some dis
tance away and Stetson having no wire
communication. II is thought by people
who are acquainted with the men that
there may have been drunken fight.
The battered condition of the mems faces
would seem to indicate that they had
been very roughly used before they went
into the water and it was question In
the minds of the people as to whether
theY were drowned or murdered. One OF
the eyes of Goliath had been almost
gouged from tine socket. Foul play Is
strongly suspected, but the truth will
not be known until the conclusion Of the
coroner's inquest at Stetson, probably
on Monday. The people of Ststson and
surrounding towns are much stirred up
over the discovery of the bodies with the
battered faces and are eagerly awaiting
the result of the coroner's inquest.
