WORCESTER, Mass, March 30.-Ad-
vices from the broken dam are of more
assuring character. Large tree-trunks,
bales of hay and loads of dirt ere being
thrown in the gap and the rush OF water
lessened. Channels to connect the res.
ervoirs with stream to the eastward are
being dug with haste. The water in the
reservoir is rapidly lowering and though
the gap in the dam is widening it is
thought the main structure will stand.
There is less of panic along the ex-
pected path of the flood, but efforts to.
lessen or avert danger are still in pro-
gress throughout the entire Kettle Brook
and Blackstone River. There is an i'm
mense crowd ut the scenco of trouble
which is growing constantly larger. The
police are keeping order in the crowd
and protecting goods on the hills re-
moved from houses and factories.
2 p. MT is now decided that the
only means of safety is in cutting through
the east part of the dam and diverting
the water from the break. This will
carry the stream down Parsons Brook
to Valley Falls and thence to New Wor-
cester by the highways. Parties on the
line have been warned, yet there is great
danger of loss of life and property. The
| City Engineer thinks he can control the
flow.

CURED in the direct cable. This time it is
between forty and sixty miles off Rye
