War reports censorship and unrest amid Pacific fleet delays
A London dated dispatch from June 17 describes heightened naval censorship under Gezi Otis and limited release of war news including deaths and disappearances of captains. It notes mutinous sentiments among volunteers, opposition to the war, and difficulties in preserving family worries, with General Otis trying to control communications. The piece also covers regional political letters, local business commentary, farm memories, and brief notices ranging from public inquiries to land sales and local events.
