MANY BIG BREAKS IN THE LEvEEs.

ST.. LOUIS, March 14-Additional advices
from the Lower Mississippi regarding the
ACod in that section are that the country
between the Arkansas line and V,cksburg on
both sides OF the river is in imminent
danger Of inundation. The Arkansas
ievees have been abandoned. The
several places. This means that the Texas
basin in Louisiana will be inundated. All
efforts are being concentrated to save the
levees in Louisiana between Vicksburg and
and the Arkansas line and those on the Missis-
sippi shore between vicksburg and Greenville.
II Louisiana goes under Mississippi may be
safe and vice versa. On each side Of the river
the most heroic efforts have been made for
weeks and are now being redoubled.
Rain has fallen in torrents everywhere. At
all endangered points work is kept up day and
night. Live stock and moveables are being
taken to places Of safety. Stock on the Rich
ardson plantation in Louisiana will be removed
to Bolivar county, Miss, in the upper Mississippi
ievee district, which is considered safe.
The protection levee at MayesvilIe, Miss,
gave way yesterday afternoon and the river
comes against the new levee which il consid-
cred unsafe. A panic seized the population
and many ladies and children were sent to
Vlcksburg by steamer. The levees at
Longwood, Pecan Grove and Alsatis In
Louisiana are barely maintained. Tho con-
tractors have left Longwood levee, being I'M
able to work on account Of the sepage. Over
200 miles Of levees are endangered and gen.
eral overflow is considered invitable by the
majority Of experienced persons. There d

struction OF property will be great A dis
patch from Natchez says seven inches Of rain
fell there during forty-eight hours, and
10 still continues. The planters in
the lowlands are counting upon their
plantations being overfowed. as they
expect break at any moment in the weak
levees below Lake Providence. This would
send the water down the Tennessee basin and
food the plantations all the way to the mouth
Of Red river. The latest reports from the up
per levees Apdicate that general overflow in
Louisiana and the lower Yazoo delta may be
expected.

plated shall run out 18th street. Several parties

Rock creek railroad company called early in
the day and notified the commissioners that
they had practically abandoned the idea Of
running out 18th street and would submit
an amendment to Congress allow
ing the railroad to run out 18th street
and thence across to Connecticut avenue,
and over a bridge to be built over Rock creek
$50 feet high and 700 feet long irrespective Of
approaches Quilt by the company; thence
along Connecticut avenue extended to the Dis
trict line. After the amendment has been in
troduced in Congress it will be referred to the
Commissioners for their report.

morning that the statement published today to

after consulting with government officials that
1t will take at least o., 900 900 for the govern
