New Orleans, April 25-COnsider-
able excitement was caused Ia New
Orleans last night by q report that the
main line OF the Mississippi river had
broken at Lutcher. La. forty miles
above New Orleans on the city side Of
the river.
a telephone message from Lutcher
stated that the break was in The old
ievee. which had been abandoned and
the water had merely broken through
this and banked up against the new
levee.
"A thousand men were Immediately
put TO work last night on the new
levee opposite the break in the old
embankment but in Iutcher, some
fear was expressed as to its stability.
A special train which left New Or
leans at 7.30 o'clock Thursday night
with Capt. c. Q. Sheriff., chief OF rhe
United States army engineers. was fol
lowed thirty minutes later by a spe-
cial train carrying 400 laborers and
10000 sandbags
In view Of the fact there is q fS-foot
fall from the river at Remy to Lake
Marepas, twelve miles northeast, en-
gineers estimate that so per cent Of
the leyee al that point would readily
flow into Marepas and from there into
Lake ponchartrain
Above the city Of New Orleans there
are protection levees ranging from
twelve to twentyvfeet in height which
extend from The river to Lake Pom
chartrain and are considered suffic
lently strong and high to prevent any
back water finding its way to this city
There are several gaps in these pro
lection levees through which the rail
roads pass, but they can be closed OF
few hours notice. A break at o
near Remy would inundate the towi
Of Lutcher and about twenty village

Portsmouth, Eng, Dec. 21.-A fire, in
volving damage variously estimated at
from $780, 900 to s., 500, 600, devastated
the famous dock yards Saturday night
and resulted in the loss of two lives
and the destruction of the century old
Semaphore tower, which in the pre-
telegraph days was the great signal
station between the fleet and the admi-
rally.
An examination of the ruins today
disclosed the fact that two of the
three signal men who had remained
in the tower to summon help when
the fire broke out were burned to death
The third escaped through the smoke
and flames to an adjoining roof where
he fell unconscious. He was subse-
quently rescued.
Nothing is known as to how the
fire originated.
During the fire the huge wood of the
semaphore structure surmounting the
rigging house was a blazing beacon
within half an hour after the outbreak
ani collapsed onto the roof of the main
tower and building. converting the
whole into a fiery mass. The battle
cruiser Queen Mary, on which burning
brands were falling, was towed out of
the danger zone.
