Straits Blocked by Ice.

Milwaukee, April 1. —Advices from Cheboygan, Mich., are to the effect that the straita have again filled up with heavy ice as far both ways as one can see. It is impossible for steamers to get through. A strong north wind is holding ice solid and the weather is cold. The above intelligence is of great importance to owners of loaded vessels which it was Intended to send out after the noon hour to-day. Unquestionably their departure will be delayed until the receipt of advices that the channel has once more cleared.
