PROCLMATION.

In obedience to the request of His Majesty King Malietoa, I, the undersigned, Berthold Greenebaum, United States Consul in the kingdom of Samoa, in the name of the United States of America, and by virtue of the command of King Malietoa above set out, do hereby order all people within this kingdom to live peaceably and quietly, and also order all persons who may have assembled for the purpose of opposing the Government of King Malietoa, forthwith to disperse to their several homes and there dwell peacefully. And I hereby state that no English or American war ship will be requested by me, acting as and for the United States of America, His Majesty King Malietoa, to fire upon or otherwise molest any of the subjects of this or any other country, unless for the preservation of life and property or the punishment of crime.

The United States of America desire that peace, happiness, and prosperity may be enjoyed by Samoa, and trust that the difficulties hereto retarding the progress of these islands will soon be overcome, and that by reviving commerce with an established government, the great natural resources of this kingdom may be peaceably developed, so that the welfare both of individuals and the community may be secured.

BERTHOLD Greenebaum,

Apia, Samoa, 14th May 1886.
