Memphis. Tenn, March 1.-THE serious

notice warns all persons from appearing or

REFUGEES ARRIVE.
Hundreds of refugees and much live stock
were brought IN by steamers arriving from
both up ard down the river to-day.
Captain Lucas's corps of engineers to-day
received telegram from Assistant En-
gineer Nolty at Charlottesville, Mo-, saying
that the situation there shows no change,
nor is there cause for alarm vet. He says
the entertainments In his territory. which
extends from New Madrid. Mo-, to Pecan
Point. Ark. are in good shape.
Captain Lucas returned to-day from the
South. where he has been on an inspecting
tour. and he reports both the Arkansas and
Mississippi levees in good condition at all
points except near Modoc. Ark. where a
break occurred in 1897. This break has new
er been repaired satisfactorily, and the
point is giving serious concern.
LEvEES PATROLLED. 8
He thinks that the water will reach a
greater stage than in 1897. but hopes Sat
the establishments will hold. because of the
fact that they are all higher and stronger
than at that time. Captain Lucas says that
both sides Of the river are being patrolled by
armed levee guards. Any attempt to cut or
tamper with the levees will meet with sum-
mar treatment.
To-day Captain Lucas issued notices to
those in charge of all craft on the river
asking them to avoid approaching the lev
ees at exposed points. and. when this can
not be avoided, to run at decreased speed.
