ORDER OF THE GOVERNOR.
In the city of Maracaibo, the 9th OF A.
pril, 1892, Senior Limo de Clement, OF the
order of Liberators, General Of Brigade OF
the armies of the Republic, Commanding.
General Intendant of the Department OF
Zulia declares, that circumstances OF such
a nature have occurred, as to excite the vi
GLANCE OF the government and every good
friend of bis country, and require that eve
ry step should be taken Immediately,
which will conduce to its safety, inasmuch
as the enemy on the frontiers continues TO
excite hostility against the people OF Ma
racaibo, who after the dark period OF CEN
turtles, have thrown of the chains which
tyranny had imposed on then, and who
are now called upon to use their energies
for the presentations OF this blessing The
late detection of the Indians Of the Pueblo
of Langunila. will require them to be
watched with vIgilant eye; a., notwith-
standing they were placed in country Sc
cure from the enemy, they have had the
basenes to identify themselves with the
spanards, acknowledging and even pro-
claiming their imbecile governor--ior
these reasons it is actually necessary, that
steps should be taken for the preservation
Of the lives and property otthe inhabitants.
owe il to myself and the nation therefore
to declare that its situation is at this mo
ment so perlous, as TO induce me to put
the country under martial law, until cir.
cumstaDces may occur to justify the su-
preme executive power to annul this pre-
sent decree-in consequence OF which the
Pueblos above mentioned should know
their danger, and hasten to prepare 10 act|
defensively and Extensively against the en-.
envy in every manner which their zeal and
attachment TO the government of Colon
bia will dictate, by arming every descrip
ton of men without exception, and subJec-
ting them to the orders which will be pub
lished. Since every good citizen owes as
primary duty, every exertlon which VIII
tend to the preservation of his country, and
it is hoped will be ready willingly to make
those sacrifices. which the 9th article, Cd.
section of our wise constitution enjoins.
Wherefore, his Excellency orders, that
all persons residing within the city shall in
the space of "a hours, bring and deposit in
the arsenal department OF the government
house, all arms OF every description and o.
ther munitions of war: and those in the |
county shall present them to the respective
commissioners appointed, who shall take
an exact account Of the owner, that when
this necessity shall happily cease, they
may be correctly returned; it being under.
stood tina, the disobedent will be regard
ed as suspicious characters; and | further
direct that the present decree which his ex-
ceIlency conceives necessary for the good
of the country, shall be published and past
ed at all public places
