The above map shows the location and ex
tent OF the flooded areas. North Of Arkansas
City, for some distance above the mouth OF
the White river, at Emporia Circle, the land
on the Arkansas side is all under water.
To the east in Mississippi, from Green

In Louisiana, the Tensas basin is flooded from
the break in the Lake Providence levees and
many rich plantations lie three and four feet
under the rushing tide. Where the river turns
to the east there is another series of crevasses
above New Orleans, the water from which,
flowing into Lake Ponchartrain, saved New
Orleans from disastrous flood. Taken alto
gether, the flooded areas cover hundreds OF
square miles and will cause loss Of upwards
OF million dollars.
volume of water is coming out of the
crevasse and is sweeping every thing
before it. Houses, cribs, stables and
fences are being washed away, and
many head of stock have already been
lost Mrs. l.. T. Martin lost fifteen
mules, and nearly all the corn, hay and
cotton seed on two or three plantations
have been swept away. No lives have
been lost.
NEW ORLEANS, April ga special
from Arkansas City says: Another wind
and rain storm ragged here Thursday
night. About o'clock several
strong blasts of wind in rapid
succession severely tested the
strength of every house in town,
and brought the occupants out of
their beds. For several minutes it
looked as though the town would be
blown away. The terrors of storm in
town covered by water to depth of
from eight to twelve feet, can hardly be
imagined. The Catholic church, an
elegant little structure, was blown
from it's foundations and consider
ably damaged. The building was
flooded to the depth of eight feet, and
all of the furniture and fixtures badly
damaged. A negro church Vas also
blown from it's foundation, but did not
sustain very serious damage Three or
four residences were treated likewise.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 5.-The COM
mittees of the citizens relief fund sent
down the river to Laconia and Henrico
to investigate the condition of the flood
sufferers returned Thursday. They re-
port that in Laconia alone fully 600 peo-
pie, mostly negroes, are without food or
houses. Few houses are left in
the city, and in one gin house
there are $50 persons huddled to-
gether like so many cattle. The water
is from six to twelve feet deep on
the plantations. Forty houses were
washed down by last THURSDAYS storm.
AT Modoc, Ark, 420 people we're found
to be suffering for food. At islands
Nos. 46 and Al, below Helena, 100
people were found in the same condi-
ton, and at Henrico 125 more. In the
limited investigation made by the COM
mittee fully one thousand people were
found to be homeless and hungry, and
these were all found at points on the
river. They were unable to cross the
country back of the river, where, prob
ably, more distress exists than on the
river front
