[Translation.]

Office of the Governor and Military Commandant of the State of Coahuila de Zaragoza.

I have the honor to inform you that the supreme circular of your department ordering the imprisonment of generals, chiefs, and officers who come from abroad without a license from the supreme government to leave the country during the war, and those who have a permit to go through another country and remain in it more than four months, unless they have been compelled to it by being carried off by the enemy, and return faithful to the cause of the republic, determined to continue their services to it, has this day been ordered to be promulgated in this State, for its due fulfilment.

Please make this known to the citizen President.
