f from Otis were received ut the war department today showing
the hardships and difficulties encountered by our-troops in

One dispatch says McArthur commenced an advance

who was Clark's confldmtial man dur

and w ho is accused of having distribut

In the alleged bribery of members of

The process ponding In the supreme
court is for the disbarment of Well
