prove of great advantage to the rebels.
1t is thought the insurgent government
will be established there, where it can
collect duties SO as to secure money for
the purchase of arms and ammunition

New York, Sept. ia special from
Washington says:
According to official advices received at
the war department today, General Otis
has been disappointed in carrying out
several military movements contemplated
at this time by reason OF continued rains.
He fears now that the American troops
will be unable to do aggressive work be-
fore November.
The authorities had hoped to get news
OF several important engagements, plans
of which they have known for some time.
In some respects they consider that the
delay will be beneficial. By November l
General Otis will have 10000 more men
and will therefore be able to put larg-
er army into the field and begin much
more aggressive campaign than is possi-
BILE at present.

turned out to be needle cushion. In 1t
