Weather Bureau Reports Indi-
cate Greatest Rise on
Record.
CITY OF CAIRO ISOLATED
The City Is Surrounded by Water
and Train Service Is Gut OF.
Many Workmen Are
in Danger.


| Associated Press Special.
Washington, April 4.-The
weather bureau reports indicate
that the river situation continues
critical from Cairo to the mouth OF
the Mississippi. II the levees hold
the floods will doubtless be the
greatest of which the government
has record.
Considering only the water now
in sight and without any further
heavy rains the Mississippi river be-
low Vicksburg will rise until the
early part Of May, and if the levees
hold the river will reach about So
feet at Natchez, AZ feet at Baton
Rouge, 1875 feet at Donaldsonville,
and 21.5 feet at New Orleans. These
figures are from / to 1.5 feet high
er than any previous record. The
warning issued Tuesday for at least
A feet at Memphis by Saturday or
Sunday, ii the 1eeves hold, il re-
peated, and preparations should be
made accordingly.
At Vicksburg the 5o-foot stage
will be passed by Saturday or Sum
day. and II the ieve0s hold stage
Of between 53.5 and 54 feet is like
" to occur later. The highest
known water at vicksburg Is 52.6
feet, which occurred on April 16
1897.
Helena, Ark. will pass the So
foot stage some time today and con
tinue to rise, but the greatest stage
cannot be forecast at this time, ow-
ing to the uncertainty as to the over
flow water above.
At Cairo the stage of Sc feet,
which was forecast yesterday to oc-
cur within three or four days, Will
not be reached because of the break
ing of the levees below the city, and
it is probable that the greatest stage
will be reached within two days, but
not much over Sd feet.
