BIG HOLLAND DIXIE BREAKS
Water From Zuider Zee Floods Two
Important Towns-WhoIe of North
Province Threatened.

Amsterdam, Jan. 15.-The TELEGRAPH
reports that the Zuider Zee dixie at
Katwoude has burst and that Zuidpol-
ner has been flooded. The inhabitants
Of that place were obliged to abandon
it and have fed to Eda.m, which is
partly flooded, the newspaper adds.
A later message from Edam says
that the dixie protecting Polderezee-
wang, is in danger and that if it breaks
the result will be the flooding of the
greater part of North Holland.
At z o'clock this morning, adds the
message, an alarm bell was rung at
Brock, also in the province of North
Holland, about six miles northeast of
Amsterdam, as the flood was pouring
in with terrific force. Many farms
were completely inundated, the inhabi-
tants proceeding in boats to surround
ing villages. There was great conster-
nation in the Wateriand district as the
water came over the dixie and the in
habitants are fleeing to Amsterdam.
Volendam is entirely flooded and
Monnikendam, on the mainland, and
the Island of Marker, are under
water.
