to desist from. their enterprise and dis
band. The men of the expeditionary force

provide their own transportation, on
giving their parole to abandon
the enterprise and return to their homes;
officers above the rank of field officers,
will be required to give such bonds as
may be satisfactory to the civil authori.
ties, it being the determination of the
United States government to preserve
neutrality. and the. most stringent meas,
ures having been taken to prevent all
accession of men and material, the
Commanding General trusts that these
liberal offers will have the effect to cause
the expedition, now hopeless, to be qui'

confidently expects that all those who
have any respect for the authority of the
United States, will conform to the re.
quirements of the Presidents proclama-
tion, and of this, which if not promptly
obeyed, sufficient force will be brought
to bear, to compel obedience. g.
