DrThe Milwaukee Commercial evidently has
some doubts of the genuineness of our democra-

have confidence in their own democracy, for there
is certainly some difference between US. Our

US to the conclusion that the state would be about
as well off under wing rule, as under that of the
politicians For which that sheet speaks.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

By The President Of the United States of Amer
lea:
There is reason to believe that an armed expedi-
ton is about TO be started out of the United States
with an intention to invade the Island of Cuba or
some OF the Mexican provinces. The best in
formation which the Executive has been able to
obtain, points to the Island of Cuba as the object
of the expedition. 1t is the duty of the Govern
ment to preserve the faith of treaties, and pre-
vent any aggression of our citizens upon the terri
tory OF friendly nations. | have thought it nee
essary and proper to issue this proclamation, to
warn all citizens of the United States who
should connectthemselves with an enterprise SO
grossly in violation of our laws, that they sub
lect themselves to heavy penalty under the
laws and forfeit their claims TO the protection OF
their country. Nosuch persons must expect the
interference of the Government in any form in
their behalf, no matter to what extremity they
may be reduced in consequence oftheir conduct
An enterprise to invade friendly nations, set on
foot and prosecuted within the limits oil the United
States, is in the highest degree criminal, as tend
ing to endanger the peace and compromise the
honor of this nation. Therefore expect all good
citizens as they regard our nations honor-as
they respect their own laws and the laws of ma
ions, and the blessings of peace and the we'll be-
ny OuI CodhlIy -iO discourage ana prevent by all
lawful means, every such enterprise; and call
upon every officer of the Government, civil and
military, to use all their power to arrest for tra
ana punishment, every such offender against the
laws providedfor the performance of our sacreC
obligations to friendly powers.
