LOOMS CASE SUSPICIOUS.
4 FURTHER EXAMINATION OF
THE BoDY.

Scar Behind the Ear Thought by the
OHiciuIs of Plymouth, England, Near
where the Body was Washed Up, to
Indicate Foul Play-American Com
sui Declines to Express an Opinoin.
London. July 17.-Reports to both the
Press Association and the Central, News
assert that further examination Of the
body of F. Kent Loomis. which was
found yesterday at Warren Point, some
fifteen miles from Plymouth. has given
rise to grave suspicious on the part Of
the local officials that Mr.. Loomis met
with foul play. The wound behind the
right ear is described as being circular,
large and clean, and it is thought that
it was inflicted before death. It is sur
missed that Mr.. Loomis' body fell into
the water near the Eddystone light
house.
Joseph H. G. stephens, American con-
sui at Plymouth, in response to tele-
gram sent by The Associated Press to-
night asking him if the local reports
of foul play had any basis or if he had
any ground for suspicion regarding the
death of Mr.. Loomis, replied:
II regret cannot make any state
ment prior to the inquest which will be
held tomorrow. The wound on the
head back os the right ear is the size
of half dollar. The body is fairly pre-
served, especially about the top and
back of the head, considering the time
it has been in the water

SEW BRITAIN DENTIST INJURED
Thrown from Carriage in New London
-CondItion serious.


New London, June 17.-Charles b.
Erickson. of c. B. & c. +. Erickson,
dentists, of New Britain. was thrown
from his carriage in runaway acci-
dent here this evening. and is at the
Memorial hospital in an unconscious
state, from what is thought to be
fractured skull, with his recovery very
much in doubt. Mr.. Erickson, who was
a trip alone from New Britain, was
driving a pair Of horses attached to a
light carriage along Bank street early
this evening. when passing automo-
bile startled the team into a run. He
kept his seat. and was getting the
horses under control when he reached
the head of the street. where a crowd
was assembled at the services of the
Salvation Army around the soldiers
and sailors monument. Mr. Erickson
turned his horses to avoid running into
the crowd, when one of them stumbled
and fell, turning and upsetting the car
riage, and throwing Mr.. Erickson vio-
lently to the pavement. AT the hos
pital late tonight it was said that he
was suffering from a confused wound
at the base of the skull and that it was
impossible vet to tell whether there
was fracture, or to give any idea of
the outcome.
An incident Of the affair was the res
cue Of a child, which was in the path
of the runaway, by the prompt work
Of Chief Yeoman Nj. j. Maher, of the
u. S. S. Texas. Maher snatched the
baby from the carriageiin whihe it was
being wheeled just in fine. for when
the vehicle to which the horses were
attached upset. it crushed the baby
carriage.

Finally Allowed to Proceed.
London, July ia dispatch from
Alden to the Daily Mail says that the
captain Of the British steamer Waipara
reports that the Russian volunteer fleet
steamer st. Petersburg signalled him to
stop by firing across the bows of his
vessel on July is, while twenty miles
off Jebel zugur, in the Red Sea. The
Russians examined the papers of the
Waipara and declared that they would
hold the ship as a prize.
: The captain protested and was taken
on board the st. Petersburg, where he
gave the Russian officers a guarantee
that there were neither arms nor am
munition on board the Waipara destin-
ed for Japan. The Wiaipara was detain-
ed for four hours and was. then allowed
to proceed.
The captain confirms the report that
the Peninsula and Oriental company's
steamer MALAGA was seized in the Red
sea July 16 by the st. Petersburg on the
ground that she carried arms and am
munition of war for the Japanese gov
ernment.

NEWS FROM FRONT SCARCE.
General sakharofT Reports Driving Japs
ont of Coast Town.

Out of Coast Town.
st. Petersburg, July 1S.-News from
the front, both official and unofficial, is
remarkably scant. Lieutenant General
Sakharoff's report, which brings the
situation up to July Is, does not men
tion the occupation of Yin Kow, but
speaks of the Russians driving out the
Japanese from the coast town of Huan-
ltichan. between Yin Kow and Kaichou.
On the other hand, according to Gem
eral Sakharoff, the advance to Ia Tche
Kiao is continuing leisurely The Jap
anese advance parties apparently are
retiring southeastward of Ia Tche
Kiao. while strong parties are en-
trenching between Fenshui and Mo-
tien passes.
A special dispatch from Lao Yang,
the date of which is doubtful though
seemingly contemporary with Lieuten-
ant General Sakharoff's s report, says:
"A British gunboat appeared off Yin
Kow July Is ~. The commander
wanted to enter the port to guard the
interests of the British in view of the
probability that the town may soon be
occupied by the japanese. The COM
mander of the Russian gunboat Si-
vough hoisted battle flag, went out
and requested the British vessel to
draw off, which it did. 1t is reported
that the gunboat returned later with
two other vessels. All three put to sea
that night.
'The enemy is continuing the ad-
vance. General Mistchenko's force in
warm skirmishes south of Kanchi dis
covered a big force of japanese moving
toward Tanchi and Simautchen. The
groups of Japanese to the southwark
remain about stationary
London, July IS. The morning papers
have dispatches from corresponds
at General Kuroki's headquarters
which bring the situation in the Far
East up. to July is. All Of the writers
agree in saying that the situation is
unchanged, but that the armies are al
ways in touch, the Russians are being
strongly reinforced. and that battle
may be expected any day. Slight skir-
mishes are reported to have taken place
on July Is.

Ahattoir Near Boston starts.

Boston, July 17.-By permission of the
police commission the Brighton abat-
toir was operated to-day in preparation
for to-morrow's demand for meat. On
Friday night eighty three cars of live
stock were received at the stock yards,
and since then double force of butch-s
ers has worked day and night. It IS
believed that the local demand can be
met so long as stock is received here
on the hoof. Most Of the meat dressed
in Brighton viii go to consumers in this
city and vicinity. Very little live stock
is being exported, most of it being con-
signed to Brighton. Large consign-
ments are expected early this week.
Local dealers have very little beef in
cold storage.
