A SEA SERPENT REPORTED.
Said to Have Been Seen Last Month
in the Gulf of Mexico.

Said to Have Been Seen Last Month
in the Gulf of Mexico.
The naval photographic Office has re-
ce1ved information which seems to indicate
that the sea serpent Is not so much q
creature Of the imagination as has been
generally supposed. The reported appear
ance Of an animal Of that kind at this
season Of the year is most unusual. Stories
about sea serpents are usually given cir
culation just before the opening of the sea-
son at the seaside resorts in early sum-
mer.
The report received by the photographic
office came from Mr.. Henry H. Neligan.
third officer Of the steamship Irada. It is
dated October 26. 1901, and is as follows:
"At IL am. today, in latitude q degrees
% minutes N. and longitude 90 degrees Is
minutes west, passed large sea serpent
appearing about 100 feet long. The head
had blunt, square nose and was ejecting
water to the height Of two or three feet
from Its nostrus. The animal or fish had
three distinct sets Of fins and a tail lying
across like porpoiSe On it's back was q
series Of humps like camel It was head
ing about east 0rue) and moving slowly"
This report was mailed from Liverpool,
where the 1rada arrived on the 10th OF No
yember from Galveston. The locality where
the serpent Is said to have been seen Is q
point In the Gulf of Mexico. about 120 miles

river. Mr.. Neligan is known to the hydro
graphic office as a responsible individual,
and reports previously received from HIM
have always been accepted as reliable and
trustworthy. Although the officials have
no means of verifying the reported appear
ance OF the sea serpent they are not pre-
pared to discredit Mr.. Neligans report.
One of the officers said that he had himself
seen small sea serpents, yard or so long,
In the Indian ocean, and other seafaring
men have reported the appearance of much
larger specimens. ~ .,g

No Further Spread of Fever at Ma
tfonal Junior Republic.
The scarlet fever outbreak at the National
Junior Republic at Annapolis Junction has
been confined to the one original case, and
this patient Is rapidly recovering. During
the past week several suspects have been
isolated and watched. but 1t Is now be-
lieved that there will be no further cases
Of the disease.
The immediate checking Of the contagion
was doubtless due to the prompt and ef-
ficient way in which the emergency was
handled by those at the republic The origi-
nal case was at once isolated and imme-
diate attention was given to every inmate
The Deaconess' Home of this city came to
the assistance of the republic in the most
hearty way by sending two trained nurses,
and these ladies. Miss Peachel and Miss
Huddlestone, have worked SO efficiently
that to them is due much Of the credit for
the smothering Of the confagration. DR..
Percy Hickling and DR.. A. NJ. MacNamee
have freely given their services in the
emergency. A number Of contributions OF
both money and clothes and bedding have
been received and have been very useful.

Commissioners Advised of Proceed
fngs Involving Sewer Contract.
The District Commissioners have been
advised Of the filing Of a suit in equity
in the Supreme Court Of the District by
the Ohio National Bank Of this city
against Henry c. Bolden, William Oscar
Roome and the District of Columbia. The
bank claims that 1t holds an assignment
from Bolden transferring his right to COL
lect money from the treasurer Of the
United States on a sewer contract with the
District. The assignment was made to Mr.
Roome formerly cashier Of the bank. The
bill declares that the defendant Bolden
now claims the right to collect the money
and asks the court to restrain him.
Mr.. A. B. Duvall, the attorney for the
District, has referred the matter to the
Commissioners for such information az
may enable him to answer the suit, and
has been informed by Auditor Petty as
follows:
Between August and November IL,
1898, Contractor H. c. Bolden received
payment of all that was due him under
contract 2232. except the sum Of s87S.53,
which was retained as a guaranty that the
work would be kept in repair for Ave
years. The guaranty period expired No
vember 8, 1901, and the superintendent of
sewers having certified that the work was
then in good condition. the treasurer of
the United States was notified accordingly,
and was advised that final settlement was
authorized, thus terminating the connec-
ton Of the District with the matter"

ASPHALT CONTROVERSY,
Presence of Mr.. Garner May Meal
Some New DeXeIopmenta.

Presence of Mr.. Garner May Mean
Some New Developments.
1t Is supposed that definite action will
soon be taken by the State Department re-
garding the Venezuelan asphalt question
now pending. Color is given to this sup
position by the arrival here last evening Of
Mr.. A. H. Garner. who resigned from the
managing dictatorship of the New York
and Bermudez Company few months ago.
and who until then was the most prominent
figure In the Venezuelan asphalt contro-
versy.
Mr.. Garner Is at the Richmond. That his
presence here has some important bearing
upon the asphalt controversy Is undoubted,
though Mr.. Garner himself would not COM
NIT himself to any statement beyond say
ing that he Is not at the moment prepared
to outline his present intentions.
During the past week the market value Of
the securities of the National Asphalt Com
pany have shown a strong decline When
Mr.. Garner was asked as to the cause of
the present slump he expressed his belief
that 1t was due to two causes: First be-
cause Of loss of confidence resulting from
an advertised notice to stockholders to sur
render their holdings to an investigating
committee, and, second, the alarm follow
ing a remark attributed to Mr. p. A. b.
Widener of Philadelphia, one Of the direc-
tors of the company, in which doubt was
thrown upon the ability Of the company to
pay the interest on Its bonds.
