LEVEE BREAKS
At Shipland Landing, Miss.-A Mighty
Rush of Water Over the Surrounding

At Shipland Landing, Miss.-A Mighty
Rush of Water Over the Surrounding
Country.
JACKSON, Miss, April % The Green
vile correspondent of the Associated
Press wires Wednesday morning as
follows:
At 9:3O o'clock Wednesday morning
the dreadful alarm cry of "Levee
broke" was repeated for the sixth time
in the Yazo\ Mississippi delta, when
the huge is foot levee at Shipland
Landing, Issaquena county, suddenly
crumbled away, letting in with a
mighty rush and roar the ponderous
torrent of the great river. Shipland is on
Promised Land plantation, about two
miles below Lake Providence, Louis
lana. At the time of the break back
water from the upper crevasses was
already against the levee some ten OR.
twelve inches deep and many high
places around were still uncovered.
Hope was entertained that the worst
had passed and that the fearful flood
had spent its fury in the wreck and ruin
already wrought But it was not so.
Many fine plantations upon which
partial crops might have been made
must now share the fate of the rest,
and in all of lower Issaquena, Sharkey
and Yazoo counties, where there was
foot of water before, there will be
three feet or more. Places which
have heretofore been havens of refuge
for live stock and human beings
will now have to be abandon
ed, and in few short days
there will scarcely be a dry spot
in all the country south of
this break between the levees and the
YaZoo river Whether there be life
lost in the region Immediately affected,
depends upon the question whether
the people are provided with boats. In
addition to the disastrous local conse-
quences of the break, it will also have
the effect Of raising the water in the
Yazoo river, and keeping that stream
up at its mouth to such an extent as to
| retard the outflow of flood water in
the upper delta country.
