that with the advance Of civilization
these empires may not be retarded By
state Of war in consequence Of the part
taken By certain citizens of tie United
States in this expedition. Our repre-
sentaiiyss in those countries

governments of CbibA and Japan the firm
intention of this country 90 maintain
strict neutrality in the events Of hostili-
ties. and 10 carefully prevent any infrsc-
ton Of the lAs on the part Of Oureitizsns.
