Danger stages at all points, with 1the Arkansas river rising rapidly above Pine Bluff and the Condition es- pecially menacing at this point, are the indicated developments in the river situation according to informa- tion furnished The Graphic last night from the weather bureau of hclals at Little Rock Additional warnings have been issued from that City to planters and others in the lower river valley and it now looks as Ii the coming flood will be the worst that has visited the territory along tue Arkansas river for some years.
 The river last night registered 26 feet at Fort Smith and it was stated there that the gauge would register oU feet by 10 o'clock Tuesday morn- ing. The water was still rising there at : o'clock last night, but rains west of Fort Smith had stopped and clear, | |cocl weather was indicated. Early yesterday morning, when the river registered 23 feet, the gauge readings showed that the Arkansas had risen a feet at Fort smith ill 36 hours. \ he river at Little Rock last night (Ntt& rising at the rate of one-tenth 4}of a foot all hour. The gauge will probably show fifteen feet at Little Rock this morning. At Van Buren the water was not as high yesterday afternoon as it reached during the May rise, but the river was still rising there and it was feared that the water would go much higher and do more damage to property in that nl- mediate section
 The hour at which the crest will reach Pine Bluff and the probable stage here cannot be accurately fore casted until more information is re- ceived from the district west of Fort smith. It will be within 72 hours, however
 On account of the low stage of the Mississippi river at this time, Section Director H. F. Alciatore, of Little Rock, declares that the Current from the Arkansas above here will descend the river bed at swift rate. It is this condition that places prop erty along the river front at this point in Jeopardy. Warnings were also given to the officials of the Plum Bayou and the Linwood and Auburn Levee districts to look out for dan ger stage.

 County Surveyor White reported that there was 250 feet of land iii Che width of the neck, which it K proposed to cut through. He and City Engineer Parkes stated that it would be a problematical question as to whether or not the water would go through the opening if it was made. owing to the swift current. AS it is HOW the current is striking the south bank of the river, at the busi- nt ss section, at right angle.

They declare that it will throw the current against their prop- erty and that the same damage. ex- pected here, will result. Plantation owners east of the City are also flock ing into the city and are threatening to ask for injunctions to prevent the cutting of the canal or the levee.
 Circuit Judge Grace is out of the city, as is also Chancellor John M. Elliott. and it would be difficult matter for any of those who oppose the movement to secure an injunc- tion at this time. Engineers believe that by Cutting the levee away at one point that the river would take it's old channel and that the current would be thrown against a large sand bar. which has formed on tue north side of the river just below the Co., ton Belt shops. They firmly believe that no damage would result to that section of the city.
