OBNOXIOUS CENSORSHIP.
English Correspondent Bitterly Complains Of
Gen. Otis Methods.

London. July ga private letter re-.
cciVcd here. today, from a war correspon
dent at Manila, dated June II, says:
There seems to he no end or the war III
sight. Tho censorship is constantly he
coming more troublesome. General OTIS
recently established a rule that any mat
ter relating to the navy must be taken
to the commander Of the fleet for his ap.
proval and afterwards submitted to the
military censor, thus adding to our diff
cultics.
For some reason which the censor
would not explain. Gen. Otis refused to
allow us To send the death of the Munad
after its occurrence. The general also
refused to let us send news Of the disap-
pearance of capt. Rockefeller. tApril ~.
on the ground that ii would worry his
family, or the killing Of capt. Tilley o:
the Signal Corps, until the next day. Thu
correspondents are all very tired of this
arrangement, which simply means that
ting shot several times a week, with no
chance of making rcputa lions, because
their stories must always reflect Otis
views.
at is impossible to write the truth
about the situation. The resources ami
fighting qualities of the natives are quite
misunderstood by the American papers.
and we cannot write the facts without be
ing accused of treason; nor can we tell
of the practically unanimous opposition
to and dislike of the war among the
American troops. The volunteers or at
least "a portion of them. We're at one time
