no material developments in the break

patches received here from above state
that trains On the North end of the
Riverside division Of the Valley Road
have been Abandoned, but trains on the
man line are still runulng. The break IN
the levee is one mile below Sunaower.
At "a point above the levee crosses low
flat swamp out Of which flows Bucks
Bayon which emptles into Hushpuckana,
che mile from the .evee. The water
from this break will extend no further
North than Bobo Station on the Valley
Road which is about eight miles South
Of Clarksdale. The embankment on the
main line Of the Louisville, New Orleans
and Texas Railroad will no doubt direct
a large quantity OF this water IN a
Southerly direction.

a Depleted Navy.

WASHINGTON, March l7.-An order
mas been sent to various receiving ships
of the navy to discontinue all enlist
ments for the present. This is because
the LEGAL limit of $3.50 men and hoys
has been nearly reached.
1t was discovered last week that the
number in service is within torty-two Of
the limit, aud in order to provide for
continuous-seryice men, whom 1t Is
always desirable TO re-cn.ist, it was
deemed advisable to call 4 halt before
there was no room LEI; tor these men.
In order to make more room, 1t was
decided 10 discharge number OF men
whose term of enlistment had nearly cx-
pired. The crew of the Gaena. about
Iifty men, were to have been discharged
upon the arrival Of the slip at Ports
mouth, but is is probable that they will
be retained now until the end OF their
term. IS they have lost all ilie!r clothing.
1t is expected that if tiierc should be
10 relief afforded by the legislation
during the next Congress- it Will be i'm
possibls to properly man the vessels
that have been ordered by name to par
ticipata in the navy review in 1898, in
connection with the Worlds fair. ln
other words. the vessels that have been
in the Official announcements will need
more men than are now allowed the en-
tire navy without reckoning ships that 1t
is absolutely essential to keep Oh foreign
stations.
The annual appeals OF the secretary
of the navy to Congress for rcllei from
this constantly growing difficulty have
been ignored until it has become d.
lemma with which the navy department
is now face to face. The gravity OF The
situation may be realized when 1t is
stated that it is now impossible to give
the vessels in commission their iull COM
pliment OF men. The new cruiser New
ark is about one hundred men short,
and there is scarcely a vessel 10 the

Robinson levee, which gave way yester-
day is situated, was in the city last night

"The break is seventeen feet wide and
water is running through it about six
feet deep, or was when | left there: The
levee was cut or blown up without
doubt. 1t was one of the finest and
most substantial in the district. Thirty
or forty laborers on contract were turned
loose without their pay recently, and
they were heard to make threats OF get.
ting even. It is rumored that some OF
these placed a dynamite cartridge where
it would do damage.
