H. n .- a;si,nfa~lW
Thought That the Levees Will Not Stand
the Terrible Strain, and That Over
100000 Bales OF Cotton May be Cut
or.
Washington, April 19.-The War De
partment officials are regarding the out
look in the lower Mississippi valley with
the greatest anxiety, fearing that the
levee system there will prove unable 10
withstand the terrible strain.
Captain Martin, OF the Department, re-
ports that there was under water last
Wednesday strip OF land on the east
bank of the river with Vicksburg as Its
apex with a base Of twenty miles and
sixty miles wide, containing 1850 square
miles. This is all cotton country. 1t is
generally owned in large plantations, the
owners OF which divide it into small
parcels and allow negroes to work it
ON shares. In 1890 there was produced
on this strip liz, 2,OOO bales Of cotton. The
population is estimated at from $4,000
to 100000, about one-sixth of the people
being whites. Captain Martin says that
not more than 20 per cent. Of this cousl-
try is above water, made up for the most
part of little tracts along Deer creek,
Sunflower river and railroad embank-
ments. 1t is estimated that about Co.
OO6 persons in this district are in need OF
aid from some quarter. The people them
selves are doing all in their power, and
Captain Martin cited instances Of great
liberality on the part of the whites. AS
long as there is promise OF good cotton
crop to be made, the plantation owners
may generally be relied upon to feed their
negro workers, but with the disappear
lance Of that chance will come inability
on their part to respond to further de-
mands, because Of the.loss Of their credit
with the factors and bankers. Captain
Martin thought that the chances Of MAX
Ing crop this year, though generally re-
garded as gloomy at Vicksburg, really
were not SO bad and certainly had been
very much improved ny the breaking of
the levee at Biggs' delta.
