Greatest Strain on Levees Below vicks-

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Mr Willis
L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau,
has issued a special river bulletin in
which he says: @<3:s', y. ~ sI
The river at Vicksburg will probably
begin to rise again when the water
from the crevasses returns through the
Yazoo, but the rise from Vicksburg to
the mouth is likely to continue indefi-
nitely. The greatest strain on the
levee below Vicksburg is yet to come,
and residents of districts formerly over
flowed should heed the warnings pre-
viously given by the weather bureau
and remove persons and property to
places of safety. &c.. @: ....... =.
The Mississippi has risen throughout
its entire length, except stationary at
Memphis, and slight fall from Arkan.

of the crevasses. It is above the dan

the threatened floods in the latter dis.
trict was sent to cities and residents
along the river from the weather bu.

Heavy Rainfall in South Dakota, Iowa
and Nebraska.
OMAHA, April Especial kilograms
to The Bee from points in South Da-
kota, Iowa and Nebraska bring word
of increased floods in all the rivers.
Rain has fallen almost necessarily for
the last ~ hours over an area of more
than 100 miles in radius from Omaha,
the fall being inches for that time.
This has greatly increased the volume
of water in the already swollen streams
and now what are usually brooks have
been transformed into torrents. Thou
sands of acres of farm land are under
from to + feet of water and many
families have moved from homes in
boats. Along the. James river in South
Dakota great many farmers had
gone back to their homes when the
water receded early last week and are
now caught in this second flood. A
Missouri river steamboat has been sent
from Yankton to rescue the sufferers
along the James river. Sioux City re-
ports that the Missouri has passed the
danger line there and is OVERLOOKING
the lower part of the city. Cherokee
reports the second flood on the Little
Sioux worse than the first. Repairs
had commenced on the property dam
aged by the first deluge, but all is be-
washed away again s.

ANOTHER D! BAD D BREAK (
The Levee on the Lower Mis-
sissippi River at Flower
Lake Gives Way.
Probably the Most Destructive
One That Has Occurred
& in the Delta.
South Dakota, Iowa and Me-
braska Visited by Heavy
Rainfalls.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 6.-Another
disastrous break in the Mississippi levee
occurred at a. M. at Flower Lake,
six miles below Tunica, Miss. The
crevasse, while not yet of great width,
is fully Is feet deep and the water is
pouring through the opening with fear
full velocity. i, #
This will probably be the most de-
structive break that has occurred in the
delta The most fertile farm lands of
Mississippi, lying in Coanoma. La
Flore, Quitman and Tallahatchie coun-
ties in the northern part of the state,
will be inundated and the newly
| planted corn crops will be laid in
| waste. .- :.-s~:4+s~-<to' sss-> =.
No loss Of life is reported, but the
condition of the poorer classes through.
out the flooded area is indeed critical.
Thousands of refugees are being hud-
| died on levees and spots of land wait
| ing for relief. The towns of Rosedale
and Tunica report that everything pos.
sible is being done for these poor peo-
pie, but that funds and provisions are
! fast becoming exhausted In the little
| city of Rosedale alone 1900 refugees
Gre being cared for by the citizens.
Half hundred towns
Stand in Six Feet of Water
and the yellow stream is creeping up
slowly but surely. Advices just re-
ceived tell of a break in the levee two
miles south of Helena Ark. This is
the levee for which the people of
Southeastern Arkansas have made
such a desperate fight. The waters
from this break will flood a great area
and in all probability will back up into
the streets of Helena. The relief
steamer Ora Lee has arrived at Mari
anna, Ark, having made an expedition
up the St. Francis river. There were
on board 100 refugees and 300 head Of
cattle. The suffering along the St.
Francis river is appalling. The water
throughout the entire neighboring
country is from to Is feet deep. The
St: Francis is rising from three to five
inches daily.
At Memphis the river is slowly ris-
ing again, the gauge registering 1874
feet. At points below Vicksburg, the
river is rising. If the levees below
Vicksburg hold the great volume of
water in its regular channel it will be
little short of miracle.
