The break In the levee at Biggs, four
miles below Delta, La, which occurred at
10 o'clock last night, has widened rapidly
and ,onirht soliG stream OF water Is
psssing through an opening OF more than
100 feet. The roar Of the water as 1t
-ushes through the crevasses can be heard
for miles. The town of Delta is now In
undated and the waters are spreading over
the lovlauds and will soon cover many fine
plantations in Madison parish. All oil the
eonyicts who were at work on the levee
when the crash came have been safely put
on board a steamer and so far no loss OF
lie is reported In the vicinity of this
latest break Tho outflow OF water az
Birgs will do much to relieve the levees on
thu Mississippi side. 1t will also hasten
the Passage of the flood through the Mis-
siss,ppl delta, thus insuring crop in that
rich valley.
There are many weak spots reported In
the Louisiana levee and another break may
occur at any hour.
Throughout the flooded Mississippi delta
today the situation Is more encouraging
The backwa;ers are slowly falling. passing
through the Yazoo into the main channel
north Of vicksburg.
At Helena. Ark. the river has fallen
nearly five feet since April 4, In the north
ern part OF that city, which has been under
water for more than three weeks the wa
ter has fallen sufficiently to allow many
people to move back into their houses. The
water inside the southern part of the city
is fast disappearing by means OF gigantic
pumps, which are kept running night and
day. At Rosedale, Friar's Point, Greenville
and other delta points the river is falling.
At Memphis the river is falling At Cairo,
Paduoah. Cincinnati and Louisville the
river continues 10 fall. a large amount u
supplies were forwarded from Memphis to-
day. The steamer Hardin carried provisions

The steamer Rowena Lee left this after
noon with a cargo Of supplies for the relief
stations between Memphis and Ashport
There will be several new stations visited
