FLOODS ON BOTH SIDES.
Crevasse Water Strikes the Levees
at MaringOuin

dt MdFlHSOuiH.
MARINGoUIN, La. April "a. The
crevasse water has struck our levees,
and, reinforced by six-inch rainfall in
three days. is now rising rapidly against
them. All our men and implements
were brought back from Morgansea in
time, and all the force of the district
are ready for work this morn
ing. 1t is due to the Crosse
Tete contingent that the levee
under its charge under the Pointe
Coupee front did not give way, but was
left in good condition when the break
occurred and compelled its return for
home defense. The unexpected crevasse
at West Baton Rouge adds greatly to
the mass of water we have to contend
with. Telegrams from the Fordache
indicate that the levees are sorely
pressed there. The water is now only
three feet from the Maringouin dyke
and still rising rapidly, here and all
along the Crosse Tete line. None OF
our population OF over 1900 have left
the country.
