FIFTEEN Miles of Leyee Goes to Pieces.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 21.-The
levees for stretch of Is miles from
and south of Osceola, Ark, all went to
pieces to-day. There were some twelve
or fifteen breaks, in extent from 200 to
1000 yards, and the water from the
overburdened river is sweeping over
the st. Francis basin to return to the
river just above Helena
Confidence is expressed of one or
more breaks at Luxera, above Osceola.
Most of the women and children had
already left Osceola, only the men re-
naming to strengthen and guard the
levees. These were to-day taken across
the river to the Tennessee side, which
is secure by reason of tall bluff.
Below, also on the Arkansas side,
there is IA break at Modoc. Along the
Mississippi front every levee is re-
ported intact and in no immediate dan
ger. Engineers here are rather dubi-
Gus, however, about their holding out
though every material break on the
opposite site is relief to just that ex.
tent.
The areas of farming lands sub.
merged through breaks already oc.
Cured aggregate well up in the thou
sands. No drownings were reported
to-day. The river tonight starns at 81
feet, fall of tenth.
