.LEVEE BOARD IN D|SMAY.
Funds Urgently Needed to Stay
the Turbulent Waters of
the Mississippi.
DANGEROUS CREvASSE At HYnELIA.
Break at Howell Is Beyond COntro17
Texas & Pacific Railway Hope-
1essly InvoIved-Next Disaster to
Clubbing Likely to Mark the End
of the Struggle.

New Orleans, March 31.-The carry,
ing away of additional cribbing at the
Hymelia crevasse early Monday morn
ing brought the forces that have been
at work there to the verge of aban.
donment of the attempt to close the
break. Later in the day, however, it
was agreed to continue the undertake.
ing, though all hands are likely to be-
called off if the terrific current
washes out the new lines of cribbing
which were started from both ends of
the levee late Monday afternoon. In
no event can the work be completed
inside of a week and unless ample
money is guaranteed the next disasters
to the cribbing is likely to mark tha
end of the struggle.
Resources About Exhausted.
The levee board to-day let it be
known that it was at the end of its
resources, and that unless the plant.
ers and the railroads could assure
subscriptions amounting to $4,000 it
will be compelled to throw up its
hands. Doubtless double that amount
will be required to complete the job.
1t is said the break is close to seven
hundred feet in width, with the ends
still steadily melting away. Two
ridges between which the levee caved
have prevented the water from spread
ing rapidly above and below, but the
mighty torrent is filling the lakes and
bayous to the rear, and in the next
fortnight the whole basin from the
La Fourche to the lower limits of the
cultivated land in Plaquemine is like
ly to go under water, causing inesti-
mable damage and much suffering.
Railroad HOpelessly Involved.
The Texas & Pacific railroad is now
hopelessly involved with water I'M
ming deep over the tracks, and with
Httle hope of an early resumption OF
traffic if the revasse is permitted to
run until low water comes.
The Howell revasse is beyond con-
troll, and this has suspended all traffic
over the Napoleonville branch OF the
Southern Pacific.
