But there IS nothing ih iha section which will particularly demand yonr attention.
 The idea may be entertained thai natives or eiti- 1ens of Cuba are exempt from lle operation of inc statute, and that they ean lawfully getnp military expedition in this country, 10 act within their own without infringing the neutrality ofthe United States being themselves subject 10 answer for any offence Ibis is not so. Our duty as q neutral and Friendly nation is 10 prevent aii hostile acts within the jnis dietion of the United States, against persons with whom we are at peace, a we'll when on foot by foreigners as bv our own citizens.
 Such also the express provisions oi the set ot Congress, any person. committing the otfr rRee within jurisdiction is responsible under our laws fog his conduct.
 Your enauirers. therefore, are no,to be limited Co acts cf the citizens of the United States oty but must extend to those iH relation of the law of Con- gress committed by every peisoS within tbe terri- Iesy oT the United States.

 We may regset that any course is taken by the public prints, in debate at meetings of our citi zens calculated 10 create jealousy and animosity with friendly puweTs, and spread the persuasion that ws asa people. animated by feelings oI host'iiy towards them. and disposed to encourage. and even engage in open acts Of war upon their territories, end t s not less 10 be regre,te hatforeigDeTs should uss that privilege soii against their own gov ernment and country.
 Yet ihe right of individuals or collected masses, 0 declare and publish anreservedy their opinions ta thsss matters, cannot be TepTeSsed or, raed m Qastion through any action in the Criminal courts.
 Should it therefore appear, on the proofs taken by you, that hostile act has been committed e0ndu- siag to hostile invasion of Cuba. by persons with n this district, they cannot be made amenabs to s,iairal prosecution, for writing speaking, in whatever terms of hostility, and injnriously against the government of Cuba, its institutions people.
