Doc. 48.-General Banks' proclamation. Headquarters Department of Annapolis, June 27, 1861. By virtue of authority vested in me, and in obedience to orders, as Commanding General of the Military Department of Annapolis, I have arrested, and do now detain in custody Mr. George P. Kane, Chief of Police of the City of Baltimore. I deem it proper at this, the moment of arrest, to make formal and public declaration of the motive by which I have been governed in this proceeding. It is not my purpose, neither is it in consonance with my instructions, to interfere in any manner whatever with the legitimate government of the people of Baltimore or Maryland. I desire to support the public authorities in all appropriate duties; in preserving peace, protecting property and the rights of persons, in obeying and upholding every municipal regulation and public statute, consistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States and of Maryland. But unlawful combinations of men, organ

w disarmed. The army of the United States had control of the city. There was no longer necessity to regard the remonstrance of Baltimore against sending troops through the city, and that more convenient route was henceforth to be employed. George P. Kane, marshal of the police of Baltimore, who had rendered most efficient service for the preservation of peace, as well in the city of Baltimore as at Locust Point, where troops were disembarked to be dispatched to Washington, was arrested at home by a military force, and sent to Fort McHenry, and a provost marshal was appointed by General Banks, who had succeeded to the command. The excuse given for the arrest of Marshal Kane was that he was believed to be cognizant of combinations of men waiting for an opportunity to unite with those in rebellion against the United States government. Whether the suspicion was well or ill founded, it constituted a poor excuse for depriving a citizen of his liberty without legal warrant and without pr

much more extended military district — the Department of Virginia, which included Fort Monroe. The chief of police in Baltimore at this exciting period was George P. Kane, with the title of marshal. He was a leading Confederate in that city and an active opposer of the government in Maryland. In Baltimore he was the head of tto the command of the Department of Annapolis, as Butler's successor, with his headquarters at Baltimore. It was evident to Banks that the board of police and Marshal Kane were in active sympathy, if not in actual league, with the leading Confederates of Maryland. After satisfying himself of the complicity of certain officials ie ordered a large body of soldiers, armed and equipped with ball cartridges, to march into Baltimore from Fort McHenry before daybreak on June 2, and to arrest Marshal Kane and place him a prisoner in that fort. At the same time Banks issued a proclamation, giving his reasons for the act. He did not intend to interfere with the l

manded by Captain Doubleday, the second by Surgeon Crawford, and the third by Lieutenant Snyder. Thus prepared, Anderson ordered, at 7 A. M., a reply to the attack. The first shot was sent by Captain Doubleday at the strong battery on Morris Island, when all the other batteries were assailed by shots from Fort Sumter. The first shot sent against Fort Moultrie was fired by Surgeon (afterwards Major-General) Crawford. It was caught in the sand-bags, and afterwards sent as a present to George P. Kane, chief of police of Baltimore. For four hours this combat lasted, when the firing from the batteries became more concentrated, and told fearfully upon the walls and parapets. Some of the barbette guns were dismounted and otherwise disabled, and the barracks were set on fire. The garrison had heard rumors of approaching relief, and when the storm of shot and shell beat hardest Surgeon Crawford ascended to the parapet and beheld the relief vessels through the misty air. They could not
