gBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Newport, K. l.. July 1.-THE foot Of a woman
wrapped in a Fan River newspaper and packed
in a shoe box found on the shore OF Rose
Island, near Newport. this morning. Whey
the foot came from is a desp mystery to the
Newport authorities. They are of the opinion,
however that il must have been thrown from
one OF the Fall River liners or other Sound
steamer it passed in out OF the bay last
night. The foot is cut from the rest of IL"
lmh just above the ankle and it was evidently
done by person acquainted with surgery. From
the condition Of the wrapper and box the foot
had not been in the water many hours.
