Great Britain Mourns.

London, April 17.-While another anxious day passed without further news of the disaster to the Titanic, there is every evidence that sym pathy has been aroused almost throughout the world. Several for eign governments have sent messages of condolence for the sufferers. Tie king today expressed his sorrow in a message to President Taft and has sent donation of $2,655 to the Man sion House fund. The queen has do- mated $1,310 and the queen mother Alexandria s1,OOO to the same fund.
 The shipping federation has donat- ed Sl0,500 to the mayor of Southamo- tons fund. Some public institutions are offering to care for orphaned children of the crew. Large firms are contributing literally to the various relief funds while leading theaters are preparing special performances to aid in the relief work.

LIZZIE BROKE
 IN ARKANSAS
TWO HUNDRED FOOT GAP IN DYKE NEAR ARKANSAS CITY
 REPORTED LAST NIGHT.
Town of Taliulah, La, in Extreme Danger From Rapidly Rising Wa ters-Food and Water Supply
 Only for q Few Days.

Vcksburg, Miss. April 1.-The Ar. kansas river levee, 15 miles north of Arkansas City. collapsed tonight A gap 200 feet wide was torn in the dike and the water, which will eventu- ally join with that coming through the crevasse at Panther Forest, Ark, is flowing through the breeeh rapidly. Arkansas City is the only town of i'm portance in the pathway of the flood.
 The break is not regarded as im- portant because the greater part of the territory to be affected is already under water. The water will find an outlet through Bayou Bartholomew and thence into Red river and back into the Mississippi. Except for caus- ing a slight rise in the ''backwater" already approaching the enyirons of Arkansas City from the Panther For est break, engineers are of the opin- ion that that city will not be af- fected.

Bodies at Bottom of Sea.

Boston, Mass, April 17.-"The bod ies of the victims of the Titanic are at the bottom of the deep, never to leave it." declared Professor Robert w. Wood of the chair of experimental physics of Johns Hopkins university, today.
 'dt is altogether improbable that any of the corpses will ever return to the surface as with the case of bodies drowned in shallow water
 At the depth of two miles the pressure of the water is something like 5000 pounds to the square inch, which is far too great to be overcome by buoyancy ordinarily given drown ed bodies by the gases generated.
 That the bodies sank to the bot tom of the sea there is no question, he continued. "The Titanic's victims who were not carried down with the boat followed until the very bottom of the sea was reached"

TaIIuIah in Danger.

Tallulah, La, April 17.--Conditions in Tallulah grow hourly worse and the end is not yet in sight Water has risen rapidly since yesterday, when Bayou Macon began to back in. It is reported here that water from the Panther Forest, Ark, break be- gan to flood Lake Providence, La, this morning, and as it will eventu- ally join the floods from the Dog Tail erevasse, the ultimate -height 1t xsll reach here can not be fredicted.
 Water has topped the railroad levee, south of this place, and is to- day pouring into the southern DOT tion, which will be inundated by to- morrow, except in the highest places. Telegraph wires furnish the only communication with the outside world.
 Arrangements have been made to establish a gasoline launch service with Vicksburg, by which badly need ed food and other supplies and mail can be brought in.
 Water and light plants have been closed down and the situation here is extremely critical as eciissttearns have either been flooded or overturned by the inrushing floods Those remain ing on the south side of town will soon be in the same condition.
 The provision supply cannot last longer than the end of this week The meat supply has already been ex- hausted, and the condition of the poorer whites and negroes is critical in the extreme.

ship there remained hardly a doubt. Authorities on conditions of the banks agreed that the rescue of pas sengers not taken from the liner by the boats would have had to be made speedily, as exposure and exhaustion would quickly sap the life of human beings forced to resort to any other means than boats for keeping afloat.
 During the early evening hours the wireless communication of the Car. pathia with Siasconsett, was for the most part devoted, it appeared. to the sending of private messages of reas surance from passengers to friends on shore and to transmit the anxious inquiries from land to the vessel.
 Momentarily the chance was await. ed for communication of greater mo- ment to the world at large-.the op- portunity to draw from the rescue ship the long awaited secret of the Titanic's last hours afloat
 That every chance msght be af- forded to open up freely communica- ton with the slowly approaching liner, practically all other wireless business along the coast tonight was suspended. The Marconi company early in the evening announced it had notified it's stations at South We'll fleet, Siasconsett, Sagaponack and Sea Gate to handle messages to and from the Carpathia exclusively. These instructions. it was stated, were sent out in conformity with the sug- gestion made to the United States government by the Marconi company and which was agreed to-
 While careful preparations were being made here to receive and safe guard the living on their arrival here, word came that a cable steamer had set out for the scene of the disaster from Halifax to seek the dead.
 Every effort to facilitate the land ing of the Titanic's survivors when the Carpathia docks at her pier on the North river tomorrow night or early Friday morning, will be made by the immigration and customs au- thorities, officials of the Cunard line and the New York police.
 The plans were made known in va rious announcements tonight and pro- vide for fullest protection of the sur vivors and their relatives from in terference from curiosity seekers and newspaper men until they have left the Cunard pier.
 Customs regulations, it was an nounced, would be suspended and all aliens among the survivors will be immediately discharged by the immi- grafton authorities to their friends and relatives as soon as they leave the ship. although such as may desire will be taken to Ellis Island and cared for.
 The Cunard officials announced that they would permit on the pier oniy friends and relatives of the sur vivors who will be admitted by pass after having established their right to obtain one at the company's office.

who may be taken prisoners and who might be fighting on the side of the rebel forces, orders have been sent to the military chiefs that if 1t should happen that foreign subjects should be taken prisoners, these should be treated in conformity with the laws of the republic and inter- national tactics.
 "The government and the people of Mexico lament that the peace should be disturbed in any part of the re- public, and are making incessant and strenuous efforts to re-estabIish it. This the government expects to ae- complish by means of a concentra- tion of the elements of war and through the aid of the clearly defineci opinion of a great majority of the Mexican people, which, as your ex- cellency and other foreigners who re- side among us should know, is em- phatically seconded by the present government of this republic.
 Far from evading responsibilities which may be contracted by illegal acts against the lives and property of foreigners, the government accepts beforehand such responsibilities, while these by their nature should De charge upon the government, but it refuses and will always refuse to accept sponsibilities of other char acter. which any may attempt to i'm pose upon it outside of these prin- ciples. My government recognizes with true satisfaction that the govern ment of the United States never would attempt to impose this last character of responsibilities for that is guaranteed by the high culture and the spirit of justice of the people and government of your excellence and by the constant proofs of great friend ship which in the present circum- stances they have given to this coun- try.
 "It is to be regretted that some Mexicans have spread unfounded ru mors of injury to property and inter ests of foreigners. However, with re. spect to this, the fault is not con fined to Mexico, but is common to all countries whose press makes it a point to publish sensational and ever false news
 "The authorities of the republic have always endeavored within thu limits of it's law to punish those wh' caused the damages to which your ex cellency. alludes.
 My government has taken notice of the communication directed to tho rebel, Orozco, by order of your ex cellency's government and thTougf the conduct of Consul fletcher in Chi huahua, not without lamenting the fact that 1t has been obliged by cir cumstances to follow this course. as expressed in the communication since this person is guilty of fragrant vio lations of the laws of the country having risen in arms against the le- gitimate government, and is only re sponsible before Mexican courts.
 "The Mexican government and peo- pie cannot be responsible. therefore, for the acts of this rebel chief, along the lines laid down in the communi cation which was sent to him by or der of your excellency's government.
 My government also deplores that the tenor of instructions to Consu Letcher in Chihuahua were given tC the public in same official note whici I have the honor to answer.
