Act No. 355 Section 114

Section 114

SEC. 114. Collectors are required to detain any vessel manifestly built for warlike purposes and about to depart from the Philippine Islands with a cargo consisting principally of arms and munitions of war. When the number of men shipped on board, or other circumstances, render it probable that such vessel is intended to be employed by the owner or owners to cruise or commit hostilities upon the subjects, citizens, or property of any foreign prince or state, or of any colony, district, or people with whom the United States are at peace, until the decision of the Civil Governor of the Islands be bad thereon, or until the owner or owners shall give bond or security, in double the value of the vessel and cargo, that she will not be so employed, if in the discretion of the collector of customs such bond will prevent the violation of the provisions of this section.
