POURS THROUGH TWO BIG GAPS. 6t. Francis Levee Near Memphis Given Way and Situation l Critical at Thre Other Points Raging Waterc Cut Crevasse Near Natchez. Memphis , March 17. The St. Fran cis levee gave way at Trice's Landing , Ark. , twenty miles north of the city , and the waters of the Mississippi river are rushing through a three-quarter mile crevasse In the embankment with a roar that can be heard for miles. This Is the first break that hao been made In the vicinity of Memphis , but the water Is still rising at a rapid rate and three other points on the Arkan sas levee north of Memphis are In a precarious condition. The water had been on a level with the crest of the levee at Holly Bush and the rise carried It over a foot higher , sweeping away the temporary embankments at Trice's and tearing the levee Itself from Its foundation , tiring a new channel for the flood. The break was of such extent that the engineers realized the hopelessness of attempting to repair the breach , and It was abandoned after the ends of the levees at either side of the crovaspe had been revetted with sand sacks and stones to prevent further cutting away of the embankment. The situa tion In the meantime had become critical at three other points , and It Is considered doubtful If these places can ho held in the face of the rising flood. At Peonn Point , Foreman's Landing and St. Thomas the flood Is abreast of the crawrn of the levees and hundreds of met. arc at each place working to save the day. So rapid is the advance of the river that reports from these positions are awaited with dread , and It will bo no surprise If a crevasse has developed at each before night. The engineers of the levee board eay that The damage from the break at Holly Bush will not bo as severe as would have been the case had the crevasse occurred at any other point on the embankment. From this point a draw leads into the St. Francis river through several bayous and lakes and this will hold the water to a great ex tent and prevent Its spreading out. But even under this favorable condi tion , there will be considerable dam- ice In Crlttendon county , Arkansas , from the break. The break above will not tend to re lieve the situation below Memuhls.

All day cargoes of refugees and their property have been discharged at the wharf-here and there are several hundred destitute persons In the city who are being cared for by charity.
