Unremitting Work on Louisiana Lev

Unremitting Work on Louisiana Lev
 New Orleans, April 3O--The river is at 194 feet but the highest water is still far away, and the engineers pre- dict that from 20 to 21 feet will be reached. There has been third break in the Buras levee near the gulf, but all crevasses are being closed. At Bayou de GlaZes, in the Atchafalaya district, there were two small breaks yesterday, but they were closed. These were the only real openings in the levee line.
 The levee in front of the telegraph office at Gouldsboro, the Texas and Pacific terminal across the river, sloughed and cracked The railroad forces went to work at once, built a wooden breakwater in front and filled in behind, and by night it was con- paratively safe. A crevasse there would inundate the three towns of Gretna Gouldsboro, and Algiers. The residents helped yesterday, and ar- ranged for an alarm signal which would send the whole populat ation to the rescue. There are number of other low and weak spots on the La Fourche side, and the levee and railroad offl- cials and Captain Derby of the United States engineers made a tour of the line and decided to raise the entire system three feet, the government fore es going to work to-day.
 On this side of the river the Pont- chartrain supply train has been going n n o'clock at night, answering the calls for help. The situation on Bayou La Fourche has once more become serious.
