Taft. as Pro visional Governor of Cuba and Secretary of War of the United States, tonight is sued an order to General Frederick Fun ston outlining the duties of the American forces in Cuba. The officers of marines stationed at various localities are advised that they are not expected to take part in an active way in the suppression of disorder unless extreme emergency arises, in which It is absolutely necessary for them to protect life and property. The duties of the ma rines are generally limited to. tendering their good offices between the conflicting elements and the prevention of that dis order which, in the present state of ten sion between the political parties, is in evitable" during the present crisis. The order concludes as follows: Do Not Meddle in Conflicts. i The President of the United States deems it of the utmost importance that the Ameri can forces do not engage in conflicts with Cubans, but that disorders by Cubans be sup pressed by Cubans. It Is also expected that the officers and men, both of the army and marine corps, will exert every effort to show all courtesy possible to Cubajis or -all parties and avoid ia any way Injuring their sensi bilities. An amnesty proclamation of the most sweeping character possible, pardoning every serious crime which has been an outgrowth of the recent revolution, will be issued by Mr. Taft tomorrow. Com plete pardon Is granted to all persons in volved in the killing of Congressman Vil luendas at Cienfuegos in September, 1906. as well as to everybody implicated in the killing of several rural guardsmen at Guantanamo last February. The proclamation serves notice that armed bands breaking the law after to morrow will be proceeded against and denied the benefits of amnesiy. Full Amnesty and Pardon. The proclamation, after reciting that the insurrectionary forces have been dis banded; that active and organized hos tilities have ceased, and that it Is the purpose of the provisional government to promote the restoration of normal condi tions of peace favorable to the early re establienment of Cuban self-government, declares as follows: Without reservation or condition, except as hereinafter provided, there shall be full -and complete amnesty and pardon to all who di rectly or Indirectly participated In the recent insurrection in Cuba, or who gave aid or com fort to persona participating therein, and for political offenses committed in the course of said Insurrection. The amnesty is declared to cover re bellion, sedition and conspiracy. It gives immunity from prosecution for seizures and expropriation of property for military use by "the insurrectionary forces, and proceedings already under way for offenses which are amnestied are ordered to be discontinued forth with. Prosecutors are ordered to have the proclamation applied to cases in which judgment has been already ren dered. and further to those in which sentence is being served. After declar ing that the procedure set forth in the last preceding clauses is to be followed in the prosecutions now pending on account of the assaults on the rural guardsmen at Guanabacoa and in the Villuendas case, full and complete par don being granted to all offenders in each of these cases. The proclamation says: Pardon is here granted to ordinary cases of crimes not comprised within the terms o this amnesty, but crimes punishable under the ex isting laws by correctional or light penalties and committed prior to . their disarmament and disbandment by members of the Insurrec tionary forces, who complied in good faith with the agreement of disarmament may be made the subject of special application for pardon. Rebels May Keep Horses. In order to facilitate the re-estab- llshment of normal conditions of peace, it is ordered that in every action where the plaintiff, by- proper evidence and identification, proves his title, it shall nevertheless be sufficient defense if the possessor of a horse by lawful evi dence shall establish that he was a member of the late force of insurrec tion and had possession of the horse on October 1, and that he received certificate from his brigade commander turning over the animal to his custody.
