January 5, 1898.
SIR: The Territory of the United States hav-
ing been violated by party OF armed men from
the Canada shore, and apprehenslons beng enter
tanned, from the highly excited feelings OF both
parties, that sunlar outrages may lead to an inva-
sion of our soil, the President has thought proper
to exercise the authority vested in HIM by law,
and call out such militia force as may be deemed
necessary to protect the frontiers OF the United
States.
am, in consequence, instructed by the Presi-
dent to request you will call into service OF the
United States, and place under the command OF
Brevet Major General Scott, such militia force as
he may require to be employed on the Canada
frontier, for the purpose herein set forth.
Very respectfully, your most obd't sery't
j. II. POlNSETT.

Governor of New York, Albany, n. Y.

WASHINGTON, January 5, 1888
SIR: By the direction OF the President OF the
TO you a copy Of the evidence furnished to this
Department OF an extraordinary outrage commit
ted from Ter Britanc Malesys province Of Up
per Canada, on the persons and property OF cltl-
zens of the United States, within the jurisdiction
of the State OF New York. The destruction OF
the property, and assassination OF citizens OF The
United States on the soil of New York, at the
moment when, as is well known to you, the Pre-
sident was anxlously endeavorIng to allay the
excitement, and earnestly seeking to prevent any
unfortunate occurrence OH The frontier OF Canada
has produced upon his mind the most PaInlu
emotions of surprise and regret. 1t will neces-
sarIly from the subject Of demand for redress
upon Her Majesys Government. This coin'
muncation is made to you under the expectation
that through your Instumentallty, an early eX
| PLANTATION may be obtaiued from the authorities O
| Upper Canada of all the circumstances Of the
transaction; aud that, by your advice to thos'
authorities, such decisive precautions may ot
used as will render the perpetratlOn OF sma
acts hereafter impossible. Not doubling the
disposition OF the Government OF Upper Canada
to rgeltsdutyinpunlsmnst heaSgresSors ano
preventing future outrage, the President, no'with
standing, mas deemed it necessary TO order SUI
hcieni iorce Oh the frontier to repel any a'temp
of a like character and to make known TO yo'
that if it should occur, he cannot be ansNeraDV
for the effects OF the indignation ol the heIghbor
ing People Of the United States.
take this occasion to renew to you the assur
ance Of my distinguished consideration.
