More ProcIamations,
THE TEACHERS OF DIVINITY
All VIII he Pardoned If They VIII
Give Themselves Up and BE
Good Hereafter.

II have promulgated an order that
the teachers of divinity of the provinces
of Matanzas, Puerto Principe and San
tiago de Cuoa who confessedly have ta-
ken part in the movements of the rebels
shall be pardoned on making their sub
mission, surrendering their arms and
placing themselves under the surveil
lance of the lawful authority, provided
they have not committed other crimes
since the issuance of my last procla-
nation.
1T will be a commendable circum-
stance that these submissions may be
made by bodies of those affected.
THE teachers of divinity who, with
out arms, shall come under the same
circumstances will be Immediately
transferred to the encampments, forts,
towns and, in general, where they may
be under the immediate vigilance of the
troops, and all the teachers shall be
under the control of the commandments
in whatever jurisdiction they may be
assigned. A record of those so attached
to each column, encampment or fort
will be kept, and their superiors will
make report every Is days concern
ing the conduct of the teachers and will
determine the time at which they will
be permitted to reside in whatever
place it may be deemed advisable to
conduct them, placing them under the
supervision of local authorities.
I'm the meantime they Will become
permanently attached to the military
forces and will give their attention to
the dying and will be entitled to such
rations as troops in the field.
These directions will not go into eff
feet in the provinces of Pinar del Rio
and Havana until those provinces have
extended to them the prevailing law in
the case of those who deliver themselves
up to the authorities. WEYLER."
