In addition to large quantities of ami munition and provisions, the force bad ' i.mo in gold. rurins Friday night following" the service, the frontier was crossed, they moving in the direction of Scbrewek. A second band, number un known, had a rendezvous at Neseros. on the frontier, about thirty-five kilo meters north of Larlssa, and near the coast. This band was smUarry equip, ped, and took the oath. It crossed the frontier on Thursday nitfht. marching on Karya- As everywhere in the Vale of Tempe, in this portion of th- frontier, the roads and bridges are in a condition of thorough repair. This (Sunday) morn ing the roar of artillery can be plainly heard at Larisa. from the direction of Karya, where Slnsinikos Is evident ly forcing matters. General Xiakaraa and his staff, with some knowledge of tile movements afoot, which they were unwilling to Impart left -eteruay for Tyrnaves, the most important Greek position, near Klassona. Four batteries of re inforcements followed them from tbe same point. At headquarters they de clare that -nothing is known as to the raid, and will say nothing as to the probable character of the raiders. How ever, some additional light has been thrown upon the subject to-day by an interview between the Associated Press and a prominent Greek, who Is evident ly In close touch with the league and Its plans. The Creek said: "The move ments of these bands is all in accord ance with a very clearly defined pro gramme. For years thousands of Greeks, even little children, have been in the habit, on receiving a shilling, of putting half of It into a national box in the cause of pan-Helenism. For many months it has been the plan of the league to stir up all the pan-Hellenic peoples l y means of armed bands. Now that a great moment has come In Greek history', we have seized upon It. Our aim at present is to get behind the Turkish lines and to stir up all our brethren. "Whether or not Europe Insists upon the Integrity of Turkey, Greece Is net animated by selfish views, or with any desire for annexing territory to the kingdom. She demands not only a true and complete Independence for heroic Crete, but the same independence for EpiruB. Macedonia and Thrace. And she demands this also for all the sub jugated populations of Asia Minor. 'Therefore, Greece will face any dan ger. In order to reach tfcat end. Years of frightful suffering and unnumber ed crimes and tyrannies have been forced upon those who are our kins men, by faith and Mood In those coun tries, and we are pledged in the most solemn way and inspired by the most sacred and ennobling principles of lib erty, to do all In our power to ltft from them the curse that burdens them."

The overflow will leave a sediment, or deposit, which greatly enriches tbe soil, and the planters may yet be able to balance their big account with the Father of Waters.

The Flower Lafco Cntum ana U Big Vol urn of Water fooriug Throng. It. Memphis. April 11. Major Pabney, chief engineer of the Yasoo levee board, has arrived in tlrsatlty from the scene of the Flower Lake break and had a consultation with Captain Fitch and ike members of the levee board, who are here. Major Dabney said that on Thursday he had measured the crev asse by engineering Instruments- and found that It was 1.875 feet wide. Since -then he thinks that the width has in creased to no less than 1,960 feet. The upper end of the levee, tbe one that has been doing all the cutting, has been tied, but Major Dabney says that he is not certain that it will hold at that point. He was asked for an estimate of the volume of water that is passing through the crevasse Into the delta, and placed the amount roughly at 180,000.000 cubic feet per hour. "What will be the chances for clos ing the opening before tbe time for the June rise?" he was asked. "It will be absolutely impossible for a levee of full size and height to be built around the opening, before that time. With the circular line that we will have to follow around them. It will take some SM.000 yards of dirt to make a levee there, and that will eost between $40,000 and $50,000. It could not be finished in time for the June rise, but In the event that the present rtood In the river goes down in time, we will probably make a small levee along the line, to be followed later by a larger one." With the river falling all along the front in this district Major Dabney noes not expect any turther trouble. A Satisfactory Situation at Maw Orleaaa. New Orleans, April 11. Tbe river is booming, and in spots the water was over the 'aprons" of the levees, making ueposus oi mua. j ne au mon ties, now. ever, deny any additional apprehen sion, and are resouiceful In combatting any inroads made by the river, rapidly applying temporary barriers of sacks filled with earth, and such other de vices as appear most expedient. In th adjoining -parishes of St. Bernard and Plaiiucmints, the levees suffer most from wave washes, but the officials charged wh h the duty or maintaining the embankments in good shape are straining every nerve to keep out the water, ne clear weather is rapidly dry ins; tlie rain-soaked levei-s and facili- taiinK improvements. In spite of th rising river the situation can lie de scribed as satisfactory. Tlx IJurrn'. Hlrlhdav and the Aiuericaoa In l.onduu. I.ndon, April 10.
