The United States is in the possession of Manila city, Manila bay and harbor, and must preserve the peace and protect persons and property within the territory occupied by their military and naval forces.
The insurgents and all others must recognize the military occupation and authority of the United States and the cessation of hostilities proclaimed by the President.
Use whatever means in your judgment are necessary to this end. All law-abiding people must be treated alike.
By order of the Secretary of War.
H. C. CORBIN, Adjutant-General.
