ANOTHER LEVEE BREAKS
Southeast Arkansas Will Be Further
 Flooded by New Crevasse.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-The leyee broke three miles below Red Fork near the mouth of the Arkansas river, and the water is reported to be roaring through a crevasse about 200 feet wide. Water was discovered pouring over the leyee. Engineers hurried to the scene. and with force of about 300 men fought all day against the riging flood At one time they thought they could stem the tide but their efforts proved to be in vain, and the levee finally gave way before the heavy strain.
 This break in the levee will deluge a large part of Desha and Chicot counties, as the water is said to be pouring in from both the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers. It is expected that the water from this break --' reach places that have not been
 riously affected by the flood up tc this time. The break will also prob. ably cripple the service of the south ern division of the Iron Mountain into Louisiana. which has been steadily maintained.

The later figures reduced the list of those for whose fate fear was felt by nearly 200. and if, as seems probable, practically all of those saved were passengers, it would appear that all but approximately 450 of the vessels passengers are accounted for, the re- mainedr of the lost being members of the crew
 A partial list of the survivors re- ceived from the Carpathia includes the names of many women of promi- hence who were on the steampship.
