her immediate use; and no such vessel
which may have been permitted to remain
within the waters of the United States for
the purpose of repair shall continue within
such port, harbOr, roadstead or waters
for longer period than twenty-four
hours after her necessary repairs
shall have been completed, unless
within such twenty-four hours a vessel,
whether ship OF war, priyateer or merchant
ship OF the other belligerent, shall have de-
parted therefrom, in which case the time
limited for the departure of such ship of
war or privateer shall be extended so far as
may be necessary to secure an interval of
not less than twenty-four hours between
such departure and that of any ship of war,
privateer or merchant ship of the other bel
aigerent which may have previously quit

No ship OF war or privateer of either bel
1igerent shall be detained in any port, har-
Dor, roadstead or waters of the United

more than one vessel of the other bel
Hgerent. But if there be several vessels OF
r - hnll. ants In
same port harbOr or rOadstead or waters,
the order of their departure therefrom
shall be so arranged as to afford the OPP
portunity of leaving alternately to the
vessels of the respective belligerents, and
to cause the least detention consistent with
the objects of this proclamation. No ship
of war or privateer of either bellgerent
shall be permitted, while in port, harbOr,
roadstead or waters within the jurisdic-
ton of the United States, to take in any
supplies except provisions and such other
things as may be requisite for the subsis-
tence of her crew, and except so much coal
only as may be sufficient to carry such ves-
sci, if without sail power, to the nearest
European port of her own country; or in
case the vessel is rugged to. go under sail,
and may also be propelled by steam power,
then with half the quantity of coal which
she would be entitled to receive, if depend
ent upon steam alone, and no coal shall be
again supplied to any such ship of war or
privateer in the same or any other port,
harbor, roadstead, or waters of the United
States. without special permission, until
after the expiration of three months from
the time. when such coal may have been
last supplied to her within the waters of
the United States, unless such ship of war
or priyateer shall, since last thus supplied,
have entered European port of the gov
eminent to which she belongs.
In testimony whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
