ALARMING RUMORS.
k Break Ileported Wear Greenville
. Report Not Confirmed.
Memphis Tenn. March 28. A special
)i the Commerclul-Appeul from Oreen-
fille Miss. says:
Humors reached here at a late hour
this evening that a break had occurred
lu the Jssctiuana levee and your corros-
ixinilent went to the telephone and made
investigation but failed to confirm the
rejsirt. The only point wnere tney are
weak is at Iongwood twelve miles south
of (ireenville the situation there being
considered very gruve. Water Is re
ported running over the top In several
places and there ore several bad sloughs.
The Yasoo Valley pnsscnger train
reached this place at 5:30 this afternoon
with the necessary materiul and a hard
light ut this hour is being waged with
the turbulent wuters of the great river.
Ho much apprehension is felt for the
levees tonight on account of the strong
wind prevailing that extra guards have
been put on. Through the hurricane tiny
specks of light can be seen showing that
every mun is doing his duty aud stuuding
guurd. No breaks buve been reported
on the Arkansas side today but the
strong wind blowing from the southeast
will put an additional strain on these
lines. '

tenths since last evening and is now
IK feet six Inches below the high water
mark in 18t!2. The most that con be
mi id Is that the levees ore lieing held
mi Isjth sides of the river under circum-
stances a little short of deserate.
Government bulletins today announcing
more roin in the upier valleys are most
depressing. President Maxwell of the
fifth Iouisiana levee board urges pout-
ers to send laborers and teams to the
levees immediately. The supply of sucks
here Is exhausted ulul he has ordered
50000 from New Orleuns which leave

time for the slippery filibuster nnd short
ly after the Laurada passed in she got
under way and is now opposite Lees. Al
though making no signals she was easily

all day but was evidently afraid of the
Hamilton and waited until darkness en
abled her to slip by unobserved. Hone

her hold were stored 7000 rifles 3000-

and large supply of food and medicine.
The whole expedition was fitted out by

the palace. As the evening proceeded the
crowd increased to a multitude and the
square and streets adjacent were filled
with an excited throng cheering singing
patriotic songs nnd firing revolvers. The
populace shouted: "For union aud war"
and cheered continuously for the crown
prince and the army. After an address
by a popular orator a deputation was
chosen to present an address to the
crown prince. The demonstrations of he
crowd increased during the service in the
palace chapel and thousands gathered in
front of the palace to witness the depart-
ure of Trinee Constantine. Great disap-
pointment was expressed when later it
became known that the crown prince hid

throng including many thousands of
Cretans assembled on the quays of
Piraeus brilliantly illuminated by lights
to witness the embarkation. The wildest
enthusiasm was displayed with shout-
ing cheering and the incessant discharge
of firearms.
The Daily Mail's Rome correspondent
says today that Admiral Canevro. com-
manding the allied fleet in Cretan waters
has wired the Italian government to send
immediately land forces which are im-
peratively needed to cope with the
Cretan forces. The admiral also it is un-
derstood nssens that conditions in the
interior of the island are so bad from
famine and hardships that even lepers
are leaving the lazar houses inhabitants
are panic stricken and the dead lie by
the roadside unburied.
One of the correspondents of the Mail
who was present at the time of the fight
ing at Malaxa was captured by the
Cretans and held as a spy. He would
probably have been shot but for the op-
portune arrival of an American journal-
ist nnd the insurgent leader Manos an
old Oxford man who is at the head of a
baud of Cretans whom he personally
equipped. Manos was the first to enter
the block house when the Turks evacuat-
ed it and lie prevailed on the insurgents
to spare the lives of forty-three Turkish
prisoners.
It is reported that the bombardment by
the international fleet on Friday wrought
serious havoc among Christians.
There is some danger of a Mohamme
dan uprising on the Island of Crete on
account of tne scarcity o loon.
The correspondent of the Times says
mat a vigorous movement nas been feet
on foot against the proposal to establish
Crete as a principality under a ureeK
prince.
Ethnike Hetairia published a manifesto
declared that tins is tne most impracti
cable solution yet proposed and conceals
a deliberate design to separate the island
from the Greek race and subject it to
Moslem control.
The manifesto says that all the callami
ties that could be involved by Greek de
feat are preferable to the internal convul-
sions which the acceptance of such a pro
ject wouiu entail.

London March 29. The Daily Graphic
understands that the British proposals to
Greece and Turkey to withdraw their
armies from the frontier actually origi-
nated at Athens. The Turks now occu-
py all the passes in the mountains and

P. D. Armonr Says Mexican Cattle-.
Are Inferior to American Cattle.
Chicago March 27. In an interview
Mr. P. D. Armour was asked what his.
views were upon the restoration of the
import duty on cattle and particularly
Mexican cattle and his opinion as to the-
probability of Mexican canning factories
being able to compote with the canning
establishments of the United States. Mr.
Armour declared the idea to be prepos--terous
as Mexican cattle are inferior in
quality to American cattle ond the fac-
tories would fail to make the experiment
a success. In fact the experiment of
packing Mexican cattle in Mexico has
proved a dismal failure and the parties .
making the attempt nre discouraged.
Australia is liable to become a more for-
midable competitor. Australian cattle ore
superior in quality and higher in grade
and whatever competition we nre to have
with cattle in foreign countries will not
be with South America or Mexico but
with Australia.

ple on earth. To them have been issued
