My attention has been drawn to the
frequency with which the civil and mill
i,ary authorities and the army officers
in the country and towns proceed to
arrest citizens who are afterwards
placed at my disposal TO be d ported
from The island, without reasonable
cause for such measures, and having
pointed out in my previous circulars
the charges pertaining TO war jurisdlc-
ti0n and the f0rmalities for trials,
have cided TO exact, in accordance
With said circulars that arrests must
. be justified with all reasons and proofs
possible, so as TO proceed with all JUS
tice against The prisoners.
Therefore. The authorities and army
officers Will so order in every case OF
any one VINO is arrested without proofs
enough to establish his guilt Writ
ten information must be made with al
The facts that can De possibly be had
through verbal or confidential informa-
ti0n.
"These requisites viii be more exact
I cd I'm The towns, where all loyal peO-
pie must contribute to them. as safety
there is greater and as i'm so doing tn u
viii assist the authorities to re-e.-ab-
lisa order and peace by cooperating in
"a strict compliance with justice for
which a line has ben traced by me.
"These informations and ma,erial

catluuules OF some American Senators
toward Spain and toward her worthy
+ representatives. on this island and al
,le same time 10 protest against the
resolutions OF both houses Of the United
States Congress In favor of recognizing
as belligerents. h0rdes of rebels In so
doing they are voting against The rights

Referring TO the alleged injurious
"cc 'Umnies and insults of the enemies
of Spain and their sympathizers. the
General said that ne was moi astonish-

that hey hated and feared him. But.
he claimed all the imputations made
against him were 'alse and he insisted,
ON the contrary. he had proved his up
