BROKEN LBVEES.
Louisiana LOHlandS Flooded by

Tremendous Damage Inflicted on
the River Plantations.

A dispatch from New Orleans, La, saws:
The crevasses now pouring their waters over
dozen parishes of Louisiana will prove lit.
tie If any less destructive than those of last
year. The break at Concordia, East Carroll
parish, is now GOO feet wide, and will food
the same section that was OVERLOOKED by the
great Raleigh creyaSSe in 1890.
As destructive as the CODcori;a crevasse
will prove, it will probably not do 1.-THE of
the injury that will result from the Ames
crevasse, Just opposite the city, which will
affect the parishes of Ascension. St. James

the entire basin between the Mississippi and
LafOurche Rivers
The crevasse is now over 400 feet wide and
twenty-five feet deep. The section that it
VIII affect consists Of sugar and rice planta-
lions, and the sugar crop at least is likely 20
prove a total loss. as the water will remain
on the land for several weeks and completely
destroy the growing cane
The full extent of the damage will not be
felt for three or four weeks yet as the great
basin in which the water flows will fill up
slowly, but as the inflow cannot be checked
until the river falls within its banks, which
is not expected until June, and as the
crevasse w1dens daily and the volume of
water pouring through is constantly increas-
ing, II Is only question of time when the
plantations will be submerged by the back
water.
This was the result from the Davis
crevaSse in 1884, which was in many respects
similar to the Ames crevasse, although it
was not as large as the latter is likely to be.
The loss from the Davis crevasse was about
81, 600 600; that from the Ames crevasse
may be as much, perhaps more. A Texas
and Pacific Railroad official estimates that,
that line will be damaged in injury to road
bed and loss of business by interruption of
traffic at least $500. 900, and the Southern
Pacific will be fortunate if the injury to that
line Is not as much more. Both roads are
already submerged for distance Of twenty
five miles,
In the neighborhood of the Concordia
crevasse the people have focked in by
hundreds to the levee for safety as affordlng
the only land in the vicinity not likely to be
overhowed. AS one goes further from the
river the land becomes lower and in few
days the water will be ten feet deep in the
rear of East Carroll and Madison parishes
Cour1ers were sent out as soon as the levee
broke at Concordia and the people were
warned to leave their homes and move to
higher ground. Thus far no loss Of life is
reported. -
A heavy rain and wind storm Just now
would be calamity, for the one would
weaken the levees and the other would whip
the river into waves that would enormously
increase the pressure against the dikes and
cause more breaks.
The river is rising slowly from Greenville
to the Gulf and in number of places has
reached the high water mark of last year.
