This is the first break that lias been made in tlie vicin ity of Memphis, but the water is still rising rapidly, and three other points on the Arkansas levee, north of Mem phis, are in a precarious condition. Sunday night the water was on a level with the crest of the levee at Holy Bush, and tlia rise yesterday car ried it over a loot higher, sweeping away the temporary embankments at Trice's landing and tearing the levee itBelf from its foundations, giving a new channel for the Hood. Tlie break was of such extent that the engineers re a liz»l the hopelessness of attempting to repair it and it was abandon»! alter the side of the crevasse had been revet ted with sand sacks and stones to pre vent further cutting away of tlie em bankment. The situation in the mean time had become critical at other points, anil tonight it is consider»! doubtful if these places can be held in the face of the rising flood. A t Pecan point, Fogleam’ a landing, the flood is abreast of the crown of the levees, and bundereds of men are at each place working by lantern light. So rapid is tlie advance of the river to night that reports from these positions are waited with dread, and it will be no surprise if a crevasse lias developed at each before tomorrow night. The engineers of the levee Ivoard say that the damage from the break at Holy Bush w ill not be as serious as would have been the case had the crevasse occurred at any other point on the embankment. From this point draw leuds into tlie 8t. Francis river throngh several bayous and lakes and this w ill hold the water to a great ex tent and prevent it spreading out. In the city tonight tlie situation is the worst that so far has been reached. In North and South Memphis many homes and business houses have been Hooded. Appeals are pouring into the city from all directions for aid by those who have taken reluge on high points along the river and who are now surrounded by the water. A ll local packets have gone strictly into the rescue business but their capacity is overtaxed, and they are una life to res pond to ail de mands that are received.

Cacao Crop Is Especially Bountiful anti a Source of Orest Revenue. Washington, March 18 — The bureau oi insular affairs, war department, has received from the Philippine bureau of agriculture a bulletin on cacao culture in the Philippine islands. The bulle tin says: “ The cacao grown in tlie'Ph ilip pin es is of snch exrellent quality that there is keen rivalry among bnyers to procure it at an advance of 50 per cent over the common grades ot the Java bean, not withstanding the failure of the local growers to 'process care’ the product in any way. ‘ In parts of Mindanao and Negros, despite ill treatment and no treatment, the plant exhibits a luxuriance of growth and wealth of productiveness that demonstrates its entire fitness to l>e considered a valuable crop in those regions. Recent statistics place the world’ s demands for cacao (exclusive of local consumption) at 200,01)0,000 ponnds, v a lu »! at more than (3 0 ti’oo - ??'''• Tl,er'' >s. therefore’ it i's sfttd, little danger of over production ami consequent low prices for many years to come. “ So far as known, the areas where cacao prospers in the great »pratorial zone are small.
