      I...It being a violation  of the provisions of the Dix-Hill  Cartel to parole prisoners at
 any other points than those designated in said Cartel, except by agieement between the
 Generals commanding the opposing forces, no paroles, hereafter given to Federal soldiers,
 in violation of such provisions of  said Cartel, will be respected.
      II...Officers  or  soldiers, who, by straggling from their commands, are captured and
 paroled, will at once be arrested and brought to trial before a Court Martial.
      III...Guerrillas  or Southern soldiers caught in the uniforms of Federal soldiers will
 not be treated as organized bodies of the enemy, but will be closely confined and held for
 the action of the War Department.  Those caught within the lines of the Federal Army in
 such uniforms, or in citizen's dress, will be treated as spies.
     IV...Officers, soldiers and citizens are prohibited from purchasing horses, mules or
 military clothing  from any  one  connected with the Army, without special authority.  In
 order that improper and dishonest appropriation of captured  property may be prevented,
 Commanding officers will exercise vigilance  in enforcing this order, and report every vio-
 lation of it, to the end that offenders may be summarily punished.
     V...Steamboats are prohibited from carrying stock of any description North, without
 permits granted by Division or Army Corps Commanders or the Provost Marshal General
and violations of this restriction will be punished at the discretion of a Military Commission
     By order of Major General  U. S. Grant.
