Greenville, Miss, March 2S-The situ- ation here tonight is quite as serious as it was last night, and inch by inch the flood is spreading to new sections of the city, foot by foot the great creVasse in the levee five miles to the south Of the city, is widening, and mile after mile of fertile delta lard is being GOV cred by the waters as they rush inland from the gap. The developments of the night are awaited for with une1siness. At the crevasse forces of men have battled all day against the raging tor rents, fighting for every foot of the levee that is being eaten away at either side of the crevasse by the seething waters. It is very probable that the cffCrts must be abandoned and the levee allowed to go. as the crevasse has grown wider with each hour, until to- night it is more than 400 yeards across. In GreenvilIe very little of the town is free from water and the rise con tinues, although the river itself has fallen more than a fcot because of the crevasse- It seems probable that the entire city will suffer a disastrous de- luge.
 Rescuing parties have been busy all day bringing persons in boats from the
 
 higher sections, and thus far there have been no known losses of life. There may have been many reports of families being drowned in their home; and individuals being swept away, but without exception there has been no confirmation in this city of those re- ports With the electric light plant dis abled, and the town in total darkness, and with the water rising inch by inch, the night will be fearful one for the people of Greenyille.
 But these conditions themselves are rot the most alarming feature of the situation. as a critical point has de- velopod in the levee. thirty miles north of Greenville, at Catfish point. 4 des- pers te effort is being made to hold the levee there, and reports this afternoon from this point are hooeful. but the dama ge that would result from break at Catfish Point would be so enormous that fear for the lavee's safety must re main until the water subsidies. even in the face of hopeful reports. Should the break occur at Catfish Point, there is no calculating what would happen to Greenville.
 It is estimated that fully 1.5OO square miles of territory between Greenville and Vicksburg are under water and this area is being made larger with each hour The situation on the AIkaG- sas side of the river remains unchang- ed and no break is now threatened. It is probable that all communicat tion will be shut off tonight.

The Bears Continued Their Onslaught
 on Stock Prices.

New York, March 2S.-The stock market was swept by a speculative gale during the two hours session today of which the quiet closing and the small net changes in prices gave little indi- cation. The bear party made fierce on- slaughts on prices after an unsteady opening and succeeded in dislodging some heavy blocks of stock The un- expected increase in reserves disclosed by the bank statement caused anxiety on the part of the bears and they bought to cover in an urgent manner causing a violent rally in prices. but the top prices on the rally.

NE w ORLEANS SITUATION.

New Orleans, March 2S.-Though 8 great torrent of water is pouring through the break in the levee at Fly, melia plantation the river here shows little tendency to decline. The early morning reading was POI; by night fall it was POP. If the efforts to close the Hymelia crevasse are abandoned the levee, built of river sand, will doubtless melt rapidly, and produce . crevasse rivalling that at Davis in 1881, when the river here fell with great rapidity. Work at the crevasse has progressed steadily during the day. Early in the morning some or the crib ping at the lower end yielded to the force of the current, but the line was raised and good headway was made.
 The lower end of the broken Ievee is washing badly. and the crevasse is said to be over 300 feet wide. but it is hoped to arrest the crumblins as soon as it is

 All European Shores.

Berlin, March 2S-The decision of President Roosevelt not to send the United States North Atlantic squadron to Kiel for the regatta week is accepted officially as being wise, though Elm peror William much desired the pres ence of the American warships to en- liven the annual yacting season.

1T McDoNAAD's THEATRE. "Railroau Jack" Novelty Witness.
 ed bv Good Sized Audience,

GU Dy 0OVO S1GO0 0uu4cuCSs good slzeo audience saw LIIe uIg lion, Duke" and nine persons on the stage produce the sensational comedy drama, Railroad Jack" at McDonalds Theatre last night.
 The star. If any. was Duke" as he came into the view of the audience for only a short time. The play Is a hair-raising, wild and woolly West sort of show with a vivid plot slightly disconnected and interpolated with speciality work.
 With the possible exceptions of EsteIle Plunkett as Little Bess," the heroine, and George T. Sorrell as Pedro Gorlo," I" the villain, the cast was not extraordi- nary. Both Miss Plunkett and Mir. Ser rell deserve mention for doing as well as was expected.
 Though the lower floor portion of the audience did not take very kindly to the efforts of the actors, the gallery was free in its applause. The management of Railroad Jacl"' is featuring Duke" the lion, and in this respect they make good everything ad- vertised.
 The entertainment is a novelty in it's class and serves to pass away spare time.
 Railroad Jack" will be produced at McDonalds again this evening and to- night.
