“Edict
“Martín F. Delgado, General and Politico-Military Governor of the Province of Iloílo.
“As a consequence of the frequent assaults and robberies committed by persons wearing military uniforms, and with the determination to correct, with a firm hand, such scandalous conduct, which, besides causing such deeds to be laid at the door of the military, also makes it easier for evil-doers to commit their misdeeds, I have, at the suggestion of the Councillor of Police, ordered the following:—
“1. From this date forward all private citizens are absolutely prohibited from wearing military uniforms.
“2. All authorities, both civil and military, under this Government, are obliged to see to the strict enforcements of this edict.
“3. All persons who, not being in the military service, are, after the publication of this edict, found wearing military uniforms, and who cannot show that they are in the military service, will be suspected as evil-doers and will be sent to this Government to be subjected to the corresponding corrective measures.
