ON THt INGUSH COAST, ••dr Of r. K*w« LwwwU Cast l> by Um amu K1NG8BBIDUE. England. July ID— Tbe body of F. Kent LoomaC who disappeared from the North German I Jo yd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II. on Jour *0 as that vessel waa nearing Plymouth, was found on Saturday at Warren point, adjacent tb Thurleatooc sands, aume fifteen miles from Plym-

outh.

Mr. Loom!* waa a brother of F. B. Loom la. assistant secretary-of state of the Dolled Ktati-a. and waa on bis way to Abyssinia to deliver the treaty of commerce concluded between tbe United Btatee and Emperor Menelek. Mr. Loomis traveled with William U. Kill* of New York. who. In view of the ills appearance of the former, took the treaty, whlqfc waa found In Mr. Loomis' baggage, .to Adis Abeba. the Abyssinian capital. The body of Mr. Loo ml* was dlscov ered by a laborer. Thomas Snowdeiv who sighted It as he waa walking along a cliff. Tbe American consul at Plymouth. Joseph G. Btevene. was notified, and be at once proceeded to Thnrlestone for tbe purpose of making an official identification. After viewing the body tbe consul said he hail no doubt It was that of F. Kent Loon^a. • Tbe consul said there waa an a bra on under tbe right ear. There were no Important papers on tbe body, ami deceased's watch bed stopped et 6 o'clock. It will be remembered that the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II.. from which Mr. Lootnla disappeared, arrived at * o'clock In the morning. A further examination of tbe body has given rise to grave suspicion* on tbe part of local officials that Mr. Lbumis met with foul play. Tbe wound behind the right ear Is described aa being circular, large and dean, and It is thought that It was Inflicted before death. It la surmised that Mr. Lootuir' body fell Into the water near tbe Eddystone lighthouse. It la very strange that although a physician testified at the inquest that be believed the wounds In the head were inflicted before death, an open verdict was returned. Tbe autopsy on tbe body found two wound* which they believe were In-’ Dieted before deaft. One to a contused bruise below and behind the right ear. and the other a general braise on the left sidfc Dr. Webb, one of the medical men appointed to examine tbe body, testified that there waa a contused wound below and behind the right ear. There wga also a general bruise, involving the scalp and the Integument of the brain on tbe left aide above tbe ear. Both Injuries, in the doctor’s opinion, were caused before death.
