SOr would not explain. Gen. Otis refused
to allow us to send the death of the
MonadnoCk's $ captain t\icholsD for two
days after its occurrence. The general
also refused to let Us send news of the
disappearance of Capt. Rockefeller CApril

his family. or the killing of Capt. Iilly

The correspondents are all very tired of
this arrangement, which simply means
that they must 70 out and run large
