The President of the United States having disapproved of that portion of Department General Order, No. 97, current series, which instructs all military commanders on the frontier, in certain cases therein specified, to cross the boundary line between the United States and Canada, and directs pursuit into neutral territory, the said instruction is hereby revoked. In case, therefore, of any future marauding expeditions into our territory from Canada, military commanders of the frontier will report to these headquarters for orders before crossing the boundary line in pursuit of the guilty parties.
