The system of guerrilla warfare now being
prosecuted by some troops organized under

suppress this system, it is ordered that wher
ever loss is sustained by the Government,
collections shall be made, by seizure of
sufficient amount of personal property, from
persons in the immediate neighborhood SYM
pathizing with the rebellion, to remunerate
the Government for all loss and expense of

Persons acting as guerrillas without organi-
cation, and without uniform to distinguish
them from private citizens are not entitled to

caught, and will not receive such treatment.
