LATER,
I.ovees Breakinx.

New ORLEANS, La, May 10.-Yester-
day morning the levee at Brooks Mill,
Ark, gave away after strenuous efforts
to hold it had proved futile. The break
was, therefore, not unexpected. At 2
p. M, the crevasse was $50 feet in width
with the water rushing through to the
depth of six feet. The levee was feet
high. The water flows directly into
Ottery bayou and thence into Bayou
Maria. About 1000 acres of Arkansas
land already planted in corn and cotton
is inundated, while that section of
Louisiana near the Bayou Maria en-
braces q vast amount of lands in cult
walton that will be flooded.
Early this morning the wind in
creased in violence, and the waves
washing over the tops of the levees
near Lake Providence created quite
panic among the people living behind
them. The gauge this afternoon stands
ALL, 6 above the last high water, with
about ten inches of levee above the
liquid, though in many places sacks
filled with earth are being used to keep
the water from running over. Great
anxiety is felt there.
