Non Con1n1ittdL Derdict Is Rendered
by CoronerS Jury.

KINGSBRIDGE. Devonshire, July 49,
Found dead, washed UP by the sea
in Bigbury Bay, Devonshire," was
the verdict to-day of the Coroners
jury in the inquest over the body of
F. Kent Loomis. The evidence was
very inconclusive and wholly con-
jectural, as pointed out by the Cor
oner when he advised this verdict, add
ing that although death was caused
by a blow there was nothing to justi-
fy the suspicion that it was foully ad-
ministered.
Consul Stephens of Plymouth has
charge Of the body, which is in a fair
state of preservation. 1t will be en-
balned and sent home for burial as
early as possible and practicable.
The inquest to-day threw the
picturesque little Devonshire village
of Thurleston, on the shores of Big
bury Bay, into a state of unwonted ex-
citement. The court. over which the
Coroner, DR.. Sidney Hacker, presided,
was somewhat late in assembling, in
consequence Of the delay in carrying
out the official medical examination Of
AlE DOQy- his WI c1S COn0uSAC0 OJ "
local doctors, whose testimony was to
the effect that there was a confused
wound below and behind the right ear
There also was a general bruise, in
volving the scalp and the integument
Of the brain on the left side above the
ear. Both wounds, in the doctors
opinion, were inflicted before death.
The American Consul at Plymouth,
Joseph G. Stephens, attended the pro-
ceedings. After the jury had viewed
the body the first witness, Thomas
Snowden, laborer, who discovered the
remains in the breakers, testified to the
recovery of the corpse.
A policeman who searched the body
told of the recovery of a gold watch,
which had stopped at o'clock; some
English gold and silver coins and a
.pocketbook containing $50 in American
notes, report for a subscription to
the Blennerhasset Club, railroad pass
issued in the name of F. Kent Loomis,
a receipt from the Grand Hotel, Broad
way, New York, for $3.50, which Loomis
desired to be sent to his wife; a gold
ring with the name Mildred" inside.
etc.
Consul Stephens testified that he had
seen the body, and, from information
supplied to him officially, he unhesi-
tatingly identified It as that Of Loomis,

following dispatch from General Kuro-
patkin to the Emperor. dated July II,
on our eastern 'front.'" was given out
tonight:
After the occupation by General
Kuroki's army of the passes in the
Fenshui Mountain chain, our informa-
tion concerning his position was IN
general inadequate. According to
some reports his army had been rein
forced and he had even extended his
forces toward Saimatsza. Other re-
ports said that a displacement Of his
troops had been made in the direction
of Ia Pass and Siuyen. There were
even indications that Kuroki had
transferred his headquarters from
Taskhahekan to Touinpu.
"On' the strength of this information
received and on the basis of recon-
naissances which had been made, the
hypothesis was formed that the prin-
cipal forces of the enemy were con-
centrated around Linshankwan and
that their advance guard should be
strengthened in the passes of SiaokaO,
Wafankwan, Sinkia, Lakho and Pa
pau, as we'll as at Sybey Pass, two and
a half miles north of the road and
half the height of Siaokao Pass.
KELLER ORDERED TO ATTACK.
ION July 16, in order to determine
the strength of the enemy, it was de-
cided to advance against his position
in the direction of Linshankwan.
Lieutenant General Count Keller had
been instructed not to start with the
object of capturing the pass, but to
act according to the strength of the
force that he would find opposed to
him.
The left column of the expedition
ary force, consisting of three bat
talions, was dispatched toward Sybey
Pass. The entire column. commanded
by Major General Kashtalinsky, con-
sisting OF fourteen battalions with

who was acting as a special meSsen-
ger for the American Government car
rying important dispatches from the
Government in Washington to the en-
bassy in Paris.
Dr. Webb, after describing the
wounds. said that they were inflicted
before death. He added that Loomis
might have been stunned and fallen
into the water and been drowned 1t
was not sharp wound, but possibly
the result of a fall on his head. Either
he struck something or something
struck his head.
The blow was not inflicted after
death. Supposing the deceased had
ascended on deck at midnight to take
the air and gone to an unprotected
space where the davits were and fallen,
that would account for the wound
He dieG as the result of a blow, but
there was nothing to indicate how the
blow which was a very heavy one,
had been inflicted. The blow seemed
to have been struck in a horizontal
direction. The wound was about an
inch and three quarters long and pear
shaped.
Replying to Consul Stephens. DR.
Webb said the blow might have caused
death if Loomis had not fallen into
the water. He thought 1t was i'm
probable that Loomis would have re-
covered from the blow, even if he had
not fallen into the water
Consul Stephens explained to the
Coroner that if the time at which
Loomis' watch had stopped was Amer
lean time it meant one o'clock here.

Wilhelm II reached Plymouth on June

LONDON, July 19.-The corre-
spondent of the Times at General
Kuroki's headquarters says that the
Japanese loss during the fighting at
Molten Pass on July II was trifiing.
TOXIC, July 1S.-General Kuroki
reports that two divisions of the Rus
sian army made desperate assault on
Molten Pass at dawn on July II, but
were repulsed. The casualties were
not stated.
At 8 o'clock on Sunday morning,
heavy fog yelling their movements,
two divisions of Russians, commanded
by Lieutenant General Keller, made an
assault on the Japanese positions at
Molten Pass. General Kuroki's report
adds that the Russians assailed all the
Japanese positions at Molten and in its
vicinity desperately. The japanese re-
sisted stubbornly, repulsed the Russians
and pursued them for a considerable
distance westward. Kuroki in his re-
port praises the valor of his men.
LONDON, July 19.-The Morning
Posts correspondent at General
Kuroki's headquarters, telegraphing
under date of July II, says:
"A Russian force, apparently about
%. 900 strong, attacked the front, left
and right of the Japanese positions on
the western slope of Molten Pass at 2
a. m. to-day under cover of dense
fog. The sudden onslaught drove in
the japanese Noutposts, but as soon as
reinforcements arrived the Japanese
gallantly advanced to the attack and
after severe fighting drove off the Rus
slams and reoccupied the position. The
Russians retired, their retreat being
we'll covered. The fighting lasted until
3 o'clock in the afternoon, and when 1
left the scene desultory firing was still
proceeding"

The right column, eight battalions
strong, was occupying points where
the roads leading to Sinkia and Lakho
