MORE SUSPECTS ARE PUT UNDER ARREST Remains of Dr.. FOsque Laid
 to Rest WAS HIGHLY RESPECTED Reported to Be Very Wealthy and He Was In the Habit of Walking
 Three or Four Miles
 Every Afternoon
WAS HIGHLY RESPECTED

Demopolis, December 0.-(Special)- Four more suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of Dr. F. L. Fosque. All are colored and are as follows: Lance Moore, his wife, Laura Moore; the wife of Robert richardson and boy named James Moore. Lance Moore and his wife were released to- night, however, because of insufficient evidence.
 James Moore was arrested in Fauns- dale. He is a one-armed boy about 1s years of age.
 It Is alleged that James Moore was seen to go down the railroad in company with two other men, one having gun. James claims to have been in Uniontown on the day of the murder.
 The woman reputed to be the wife of Richardson Is being held as a witness. John Hoslxins while here In jail seems downcast and sullen. He has not been in Demopolis very long, having come here last April from Louisiana to work on the river lock near this place. He has been working at the compress in this city for about three weeks. It is re- ported that he left the compress Satur- day at noon, which Is located in the western part of the city on the Southern railway, thus making suspicion point very strongly toward him, although noth- ing has been found in the neighborhood of his house to fasten the guilt upon him.
 Borrowed a Shot Gun.
 It is further stated that Hoslxins bor- rowed a shotgun from James Moore and returned 1t Saturday night.
 When the deputies arrested Hosldns 1t is claimed that he told them to go and get Robert Richardson When the writer questioned him he claimed that he only wanted to prove that he had been fishing with Richardson all the afternoon.
 The latter claims that they were to- gether fishing but separated before going home. Richardson's father. living a few miles south of here, is a quiet and peace able man, and is reputed to be very well off, working his own plantation of sev- eral hundred acres. He also operates a small saw mill.
 Deputies are still on the lookout for more suspects.
 pr. Fosque Is Buried.
 Dr. Fosqre was laid to rest yesterday morning, the funeral service being held from the Episcopal church at 10 a. m., where a large number of friends and sym pathizers had gathered to pay their last respects to all flat was mortal of one of our city's best and noblest citizens.
 Dr. Fosque was between 55 and 60 years of age, coming from one of the best fam. flies in the state. He was very wealthy reputed to be worth several hundred thousand dollars-probably a half mil lion. He is survived by his aged father living in Texas; his wife and three chill dren two boys and a girl. He was in the habit of taking a three or four-mile walk every afternoon, and for years, rain sleet or snow, was no intolerance to this trip.
 Evidently the cowardly murder was pre- meditated, Saturday being quite cold, and very few pedestrians being out, afforded the criminals an opportunity.

Che Foo. July 1.-(S.3O P. M.).-What
should prove to be a decisive naval en-
gagement was in progress. at o'clock
this afternoon, midway between Che
Foo and Port Arthur.
The steamer Che Foo which has ar
rived here, passed within Il miles OF
the japanese fleet, consisting of two
battleships and five cruisers, all active
~ engaged. The Russian fleet was not
seen hut the distance of the japanese
from land precludes the possibility OF
any attack on the land batteries.
The CAPTAIN of the Che Foo says he
heard a terrific explosion but was un-
able to discern whether a Japanese Oh
n Russian ship was affected.
The battle is held here to confirm the
Chinese report that only four Of the
larger RUSSIAN warships We're at Port
Arthur last night.
