thousands Of People Driven Out

Pine Bluff, Ark. May 22-The
destltution Of flood sufferers up and
down the Arkansas river Is fearful
In the Slunl Bayou and White Bluff
districts the wate- is so high that
boats had T. be seut there to rescue
the people. The steamer Anna B.
Adams brought 1.290 refugees here
this morning and 220 more were lat
ded this afternoon by the govern
ment boat Cleveland
The officers u the Adams report
two women and ii child drowned by
falling from a skitf The husbands
climbed trees and were rescued.
Both steamers have returned to the
flooded localities to bring relief to
other sufferers
A telegram received here this
evening states shat the town Of Al
teeimer, twenty miles north Of here,
is under three feet Of water. The
citizens here are DONG all i'll their
power for the sufferers AMI the war
departments is rendering valuable as
slstauce.
There is not Il single farm on the
river between here and Little Rock
that has sufficient dry ground on
which to place the stock. Thou
sands upon thousands OF acres of
cultivated fields are entirely sub
merged.
This evening about 3 o'clock the
steamer Cleveland arrived from tie
upper river aud confirms the reports
She picked up several hundred and
put them off on high land. God only
knows what these people are going
to do; they have no means and there
is no work they can get Even those
who were cosidered prosperous
planters and good before are now
refused credit and in many Instances
are entirely without food. Late this
afternoon IL telegram WAS received
from Wabbasecia, about twelve miles
below here, saying that that place
was fully three feet under water,
and asking that boats be sent to
their relief. Efforts are being made
to help them.
