New Orleans, May 12.—-The crevasse at Baton Rouge, the capital of the state, which broke about 1 o'clock this morn- ing. was 60 feet wide this afternoon. At that time the ends were melting very slowly. Every inch of dry land in the vicinity was crowded with persons, and rapid preparations we1c beir “ made to concentrate men and mater “is at the spot to go to work in an effort to close the break. Lack of lumber, however, seems to have prevented the‘ forces from getting actively to work promptly. The engineers said that if the ma- terial could be got hold of at once the break might be stopped and a great calamity averted. All the lower end of the city, from the state house down, was under water and hundreds of skiffs were being employed in remov- ing persons and household effects to higher ground. The mad rush of water through the break has twisted the tracks of the Mississippi Valley road to some extent, but it was thought that trains could be‘ got through. The levee gave way and bells were rung and whistles blown to give the alarm, arousing the entire community. Women and children, many of them half clad, rushed from their homes and fled to the hills. It is believed that no lives were lost and that all got to high ground in safety. The levee at the point at which the break occurred is about nine feet high, and this morning the water was tearing through a 60 foot hole with frightful force, rapidly spreading out over a vast area of ter- ritory. Shortly after the levee broke the state engineers and the patrol train of the Valley road, with officers of the road on board, hurried to the scene. Many telegrams have been sent to points south of there for material to be used in closing the break. If the crev- asse is. not promptly closed communi- cation over the valley road” will be en- tirely stopped and one of the richest sugar sections in the state will be over- flowed. East Baton Rouge, Iberville, Ascension, St. James and St. John parishes will suffer. The break if not closed would no doubt have the effect of lowering the rIVer all the way dawn to New Orleans, because most of this creVasse water will find its way back to the Mississippi. Forest Fires In Minnesota. White Earth, Minn, May 12.—-Forest fires are raging in the pine belt, and considerable damage is being done to timber. A party of men was sent from here to save the government saw mill, 220 miles east of here.
