JOHN MILLEDGE, United States District Attorney to Ebenezer R. Hoar, September 3, 1869

Mr. Milledge, district attorney, to Mr. Hoar, Attorney-General.

[Telegram.]

To Attorney-General Hoar:

Large party of men, thoroughly armed, at Fort Gaines, Georgia, enlisted for Cuban army. United States deputy marshal finds it impossible to arrest, as the citizens are not sufficiently strong; he telegraphs for troops to assist. General Terry replies that General Halleck will not give the authority. What course shall I pursue? They will get off on special boat to-morrow. Answer.

JOHN MILLEDGE,
United States District Attorney.
