TANGIER, April 80. Official con
firmation was received tonight of the
report that Col Bremond's force for
the relief Of Fee, which was besieged
by the rebels, entered that city, last
Wednesday. Bremond's success in
fighting his way through the rebel
hordes all the way from Shereda to
within a few miles of Fee undoubtedly
saved the city from capture. Today's
messages say that the city is now
safe and that Bremond is preparing
to clear the surrounding country. The

a sea monster, from seventy to eigh-
" leet IN length, covered with scales,
a green, Shiny, hideous leviathan
which would put terror into the heart
OF the boldest fisherman should he
cnance to see it, is entrapped in the
Golfer dam of the water power works
and is thrashing the shallow waters
Of the pool as the pumps are gradually
lowering the water.
The great snake like thing has
been plainly seen several times by
the workmen and it is expected that
some time during today that the water
Will be low enough for the monster
to be visible to all.
A great many fish, snakes, turtles
and all kinds of members of the water
families have been entrapped between
the walls of the great Golfer dam in
the river and when the water is pump
ed out, the fish will be gathered up
by the workmen who will have many
mess of fine fish.
1t will prove an interesting sight
when the water is all out of the big
space and the entrapped fish can be
seen floundering around in the last
drops of water and writing in their
misery. With bottom of solid rock,
there is no escape for them and they
are doomed
But the sea serpent which has been
caught in the trap may be strong
enough to escape and its presence
within the enclosure is causing con
siderable worry.
The brute was first reported yes
terday afternoon late when the work
men were startled to see what they a
! first though was big fish, leap cleal
out of the water. AS the water slow
~ dropped lower and lower the
presence of the thing became more
noticeable and its course through the
water could be easily seen by the
ripples which marked its passage.

although the monster did not leap t
4 the surface again during the after
noon its length could be estimated b.

MAY Wreck the Works.

When the water becomes so low
that the beast fully realizes that it is
a hopeless captive, then will come the
real excitment, for it will make a des-
parate attempt to reach deep water.
1t is surely powerful enough to
crash through the Golfer dam and es-
cape if it decides on such method.
This fact is worrying the officials. for
break in the Golfer dam would al
low the water to rush back IN and TINS
would mean a delay until the break
has been patched up,
For this reason it was decided las,
night the monster must be killed, but
how TO do it is the question. 1t is
out of the question to think of captur-
ing it alive and as bullets have no eff
feet upon it, the humiliation OF the
monster is really problem.
II cannot be shot to death, it can
not be cut.
II has been suggested that a dog
with can of dynamite tied 10 lts
tail he lowered into the shallow water
and when the monster swallows the
dog developments would follow. This
nlan was almost decided upon last
night until the Humane Society heard
If II and gave notice that the scheme
should not be carried out The SO

Shot Several Times.
Several tines last night, bullets
We're sent into the skin of the beast
by men with rifles along the top of
the dam, but the missels seemed to
have no effect upon the monster.
While the reporter watched the
brute, it received four rife bullets and
4 two loads from shot gun, but ap-
parentlv it will never be killed by
1 these means. Bullets do not effect it.
One load from a shot gun was
emptied into the beast while 1t was
close to the wall of the Golfer dam
4 The search light was playing on 1t
and the beast had stopped In its
rush about the pool. Its great ugly
head was lifted toward the group OF
men gathered there and it's jaws drip
ped with slime.
: The men were about to flee for II
looked as though the monster would
make spring from the water at them
The man with the shot gun sank or
one knee and bazed away.
The full load struck the beast in ths
neck
There was no blood.
There were no Jagged holes in the
neck.
, The bullets and shots merely sanl
into the green flesh as though it was
putty.
The brute must be made of blubber
; 1t turned slowly and swan away on
to the center of the pool and disap
peared in the deep hole there.
Later, It returned to the SHALLOW

had tied a pink ribbon around the
beasts neck and the men were dis
cussing what was the most suitable
name for the monster.
1t no longer writhed and made the
water boil as it slashed its great tail.
1t kept lowering around close to the
walls of the dam and did not seem to
wish to be away from the men.
Now and then 1t would droop Ian
guidly over to one side or the other
and gobble UP "a 100 pound cat fish or a
turtle as big as a chest protector, but
it made no attempt whatever to harm
any of the men and did not seem to
care to escape.
The men were all sitting in row
along the edge of the Golfer dam, their
feet hanging over the sides and the sea
serpent was going along the line, lay
ing its big head in their laps like a
shepherd dog, while they stroked it.
One man even blew smoke in it's eyes
from his pipe and no resentment was
shown, only wag of the serpents
tail as though it enjoyed 1t.
The New Mascot.
Still later-Early this morning, word
was received from the canal by tele-
phone that the sea serpent would be
retained as mascot and that + had
made friends with everyone about the
place.
A small experiment had been made
toward training the beast to haul
timbers through the water and it had
shown great intelligence, likwise more
/ strength than a launch and it was
! believed that the snake would become
! quite useful about the works in haul
4 ing heavy timbers through the water
and doing other little odd jobs about
the place.
1t had made no attempt to escape
4 and seemed perfectly contented now
| that it found out no effort would be
] made to do it harm.
1t will prove quite an attraction to
the thousands of people who visit the
dam during the summer and no doubt
! will become as great a favorite with
the public as are the deer at Rand
park
1t has been christened Elmer.
