A TRMANDED
By President Cleveland, and
Agreed to by Bismarck,
PENDING A COMEEENCE.
The Protocol of '87's Abtfrtive At
tempts at Agreement
MADE PUBLIC NOW BY C0NSE5T.
A Flan for Samoa's Government Proposed
by Bismarck and West
REFUSED BI BATARD, THE HOME BULEE
The President yesterday transmitted to
Congress the proposal of Prince Bismarck
lor a resumption of the conference on the
basis of native independence and equality
of rights among the treaty powers. The
Secretary of State says that the gov
ernments of Germany and Great Britain
have consented to the publication of the
protocols of the last convention. In his ac
ceptance of Prince Bismarck's proposal to
renew the conference, Secretary Bayard re
quests a trace, and that the German of
ficers at Samoa be directed to cease bellig
erent operations pending the decision of the
conference.'
"Washington, February 8. The "pro
tocols," or official minutes of the confer
ences on Samoan affairs held in this city in
1887, together with additional correspond
ence on the subject, were laid before Con
gress this afternoon. In his letter of trans
mittal President Cleveland says the Gov
ernments of Germany and Great Britain
have consented to their publication. Secre
tary Bayard, in his letter to the President,
savs:
The subject of our relations to Samoa, and
our rights and dnties under treaty stipulations
with that country and with the other treaty
posers of Great Britain and Germany, under
the comity of international law,, having been
placed by you before the Congress, it seems
proper that the fullest information in the hands
of the Executive should be furnished, and the
agreement to consider the situations of the con
ference of 18S7 as confidential has alone caused
the papers now sent to hare been up to this
time withheld from publication.
SLIGHTLY ANTICIPATORY.
The first inclosure is a telegram from
Minister Pendleton to Secretary Bayard,
dated Berlin, February L in which he' savs
that the statement made to Secretary Bayard
by Count Arco Valley (announcing that the
German Government had rebuked its
officers for the declaration of martial law
against foreigners) had anticipated the
statement he (Pendleton) had been in
structed to make to the German Govern
ment. On February 1 Secretary Bayard wrote
as follows to Count Arco Valley, German
Minister at "Washington:
Referring to my note of yesterday, I have
now the pleasure to inform you that a tele
gram just received from Mr. Pendleton, at Ber
lin, states that the subject of my Instruction to
him In reference to the declaration of martial
law bv the German Consul at Apia had been
anticipated, and at the foreign office he had
been informed that the assumptions of the
German Consul at Apia were disavowed, and
that such action, if it had been taken; were re
gretted and rebuked by the German Govern
ment. This was wholly In the line of the note
verbal you read me this morning.

Bismarck's INSTRUCTIONS.
The memorandum of instructions of
Princ Bismarck to the German Minister at
"Washington, read by the latter to the Secre
tary of State February 4, is as follows:
The present situation in Samoa, regarding
tne Interests of the three treaty powers, renders
it necessary to renew the attempt to bring the
future of those is'ands to an understanding.
The position of the three treaty powers in the
civilized world makes it their duty to stop the
bloody combat, accompanied bv barbarous
customs, of these not numerous tribe, for
whose welfare, according to the judgment of
the civilized world, it is a duty of the treaty
powers to provide. Prince Bismarck, in conse
quence, considers it a anty of the participating
Governments to put an end, by the agreement
of the treaty powers, to the troubles which have
originated in Samoa, by the restitution of
peace among the Samoans themselves, and so
make an end of future bloodshed and the
horrors of a civil war conducted with barbarous
cruelty among the natives. The best remedy
seems to be a resumption of the consultation
which took dace between the representatives
of Germany, England and the United States,
in the year 18S7, at Washington and at that
time adjourned without any possibility of their
representatives coming to an agreement. In
consequence 1 have been requested by Prince
BUmarck to propose to you to resume, with
Germany and the British Government, the
consultation regarding the Samoan question.
MUST MEET AT BERLIN.
The last conference took place at Washing
ton. According to the equal rights of the
three treaty powers, it seems proper that the
place for the negotiations should change in
regular tnrn. Based upon this opinion, I am
directed to invite the Government of the
United States to a conference regarding
Samoa to take place at Berlin. A similar in
vitation has been sent to the British Govern
ment. I am also directed to declare that any
supposition that Germany would not feel
satisfied with a neutral position in the Samoan
islands is unfounded, as we have already de
clared in the last conference (of 18S7) it is
neither our intention to put in question the
Independence of the island group nor the
equal rights of the treaty powers. We simply
desire to create a condition which offers per
manent security for bringing to an end the
bloodshed and decapitation, and which grants
permanent saletyto the commercial interests
of the three treaty powers in Samoa.
On February 5 the Secretary of State sent
a communication to Count Arco Valley,
stating that thePresident fully shares in the
desire expressed by the Chancellor to
bring the blessings of peace and order to the
remote and feeble community of semi-civilized
people inhabiting the islands of Samoa,
and that he clearly recognized the duty of
the powerful nations of Christendom to deal
with these people in a spirit of magrranimity
and benevolence.
The Secretary of State continues:
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S VIEWS.
On behalf of the United States Government,
the President instructs me to express his ac
ceptance of the proposal of the Government of
Germany to resume the consultation held in
this city between the representatives of the
United States, Germany and Graat Britain,
which was suspended on the 28th of July, 18S7
such consultation to be renewed, as it was
undertaken, for the purpose of establishing
peace and an orderly, stable Government in
the Samoan islands, dn the basis of their
recognized independence and the equal rights
of the three treaty powers. The resumption
of such conference as is now proposed by
Prince Bismarck, upon the general lines ad
vanced by each of the three powers, as set
forth In the protocols of the confer
ence as far as it has progressed,
and embracing certain points of agreement,
appears to present a hopeful prospect for secur
ing the welfare of the Samoan people;and such
a neutralization of territorial jurisdiction as
will prevent preponderant control by any na
tion and secure equal rights of commerce and
navigation to all. The sooner this conference
can be resumed tte better. And in view of the
late deplorable scenes of bloodshed which have
been exhibited upon Samoan soil, entailing
deeply regrettable loss to Germany, it appears
to be essential thata truce should be forthwith
proclaimed, and further armed action should
be arrested. A contention of arms by such a
scanty band as the Samoans against the vast
armament of Germany has, of course, but one
result, assured in advance, and would be mani
festly futile. There is no feature of equality
in such a struggle.
A TRUCE CALLED FOE.
As the assurance of Prince Bismarck that
the pacification of the Bamoan group and the
occupation of a neutral position are his only
objects, it is frankly accepted by the United
States as It is tendered bv Germany, it is sug
gested in furtherance of the desired result of
the conference that instructions to Suspend
belligerent action and await the action of such
conference should at once be telegraphed to
their respective officers in Samoa by the three
treaty-making powers. To continue to prose
cute a war of destruction and reprisal, even
npon admitted provocation, would surely not be
consistent with the objects of any of the three
powers. It is hoped, therefore, that
owners of the nature indicated -will be
forwarded to Samoa without delay. Tho
announcement of the conference between the
treaty powers, it is confidently expected, will
at once cause a cessation of hostilities among
the natives, and tbeir speedy election of a King
would certainly be a long step toward harmony.
Except as the conditions may be changed by a
fair election of a King by the natives, it is
deemed essential that affairs in Samoa should
remain in statu quo pending the conference. If
we may indulge the nope which the adoption
of this suggestion promises, for a successful
issue of the conference, the Government of the
United States will at once take steps to be
properly represented at the meeting of such
conference in Berlin.
NO FOUNDATION IN FACT.
The statement read to me as emanating from
the German Consul at Samoa, in which he
finds fault with the condnct of Captain Leary,
of the Nipsic, and of Mr. Blacklock, the United
States Consul, as violative of the instructions
of this Government to maintain an impartial
attitude in the conflicts in Samoa, do not ap
pear to be substantiated by an averment of any
personal knowledge of the facts, bntmust have
been based on information and belief only, or
are repeated at second-hand and must be
classed as merely hearsay evidence. These
conflicting statements of the German Consul
will be brought to the attention of Captain
Leary and Mr. Blacklock, and tbeir reply will
be communicated. Much allowance must be
made for the excitement prevailing at Samoa,
which is not favorable to accuracy or modera
tion of statement, especially of those concerned
as actors.
The protocol of the first conference, at
which are present Secretary Bayard, Mr.
Alvensleben, and Sir Lionel 'West, contains
the views of the three diplomats as the form
of government that should be provided for
Samoa. The German representatives set
forth that Malietoa having notoriously
violated his treaty rights with Germany,
and having but a small minority of follow
ers among the natives, Tamasese having the
support of a great majority, an election of a
new king must take place. Then, in order
to secure peace and order in the islands, a
foreign representative should be appointed
as adviser to the King, and to act as the
mandatory of the three treaty powers. He
also suggested a renewal of the principle of
absolute equality of the three powers on the
islands.
MB. BAYAED FOR HOME RULE.
Secretary Bayard suggested a scheme of
constitutional government for Samoa with a
native Legislature, securing its independ
ence and autonomy, including an acknowl
edgment of Malietoa as King and Tamasese
as vice H-iug.
The English Government, through Sir
Lionel "West, suggested an agreement among
the treaty powers that one of them should,
as the mandatory of the other two, act as
adviser ot the Samoa Uoverument, and in
view of the preponderance of German in
terests there, was willing to let Germany
have the first term of five years. England
agrees with Germany in acknowledging the
necessity ior the election of a new King.
All the representatives proposed the organi
zation of a laud court of commission to set
tle question of titles. So discussion oc
curred at this conference.
At the second meeting, Secretary Bayard
stated the points upon which he understood
all were agreed. Then followed a long dis
cussion of the details of the Government to
be created. Secretary Bayard consented to
a new election,but insisted that it should be
A NATIVE ELECTION,
free and unawed; that the customB of the
Samoans should prevail in it, and the re
sult of the election should be announced to
and declared by the three Consnls, who
should not otherwise participate in the pro
ceedings. Sir Lionel West said he could
assent to that proposition. The natives
must elect a King and the election must be
free: Mr. Alvensleben inquired whether
they should not take into considera
tion the probability of the na
tives not arriving at an election.
Should not a certain time be fixed within
which an election should take place ? It it
should not take place within that time,
then the three powers should agree upon a
King. Mr. Bayard thereupon proposed to
continue Malietoa in office, but Mr. "West
and Mr. Von Alvensleben persisted in op
position to this. The latter also inquired
whether the newly-elected King should not
be approved bv the powers, to which Mr.
Bay aid replied in the negative, insisting
that there must be a free election.
THE POSITION OF GERMANY.
Mr. Von Alvensleben then read a formal
statement of the position of his Govern
ment, in which he says there is only one
course to place one "foreign officer at the
head of the administration, and to invest
him with sufficient powers to take measures
required for the maintenance of peace and
order, as well as for the prosperous develop
ment of commerce and intercourse. Ger
many having the largest interest should
nominate the official. Mr. Bayard said the
native Government was to preserve its own
existence. The idea of the United States
was that there should be an equality of
rights between the powers. Mr. Vou Al
vensleben said that was intended.
At the third meeting Mr. West read a
paper in support of the mandatory scheme,
and said that the British Government was
willing that the German representative
should act as the mandatory of the other
two powers lor the first term of five years.
NEUTEALirr INSISTED UPON.
At the next session Mr. Bayard said he
bad not the slightest desire to exercise any
preponderance over Germany and Great
Britain, but he did desire to see the native
influence upheld by the three powers,
equally and for a common purpose. He de
sired also to advert to the importance of
the practical neutralization of the islands.
At the fifth meeting Mr. Bayard declared
that the German plan would result in an in
equality which would grow larger, bnt Mr.
"West would not concede this point.
At the last session, on July 20, Mr. Bay
ard, in reviewing the German proposition,
said:
The plan, as proposed and explained by Mr.
Von Alvensleben, is substantially a foreign
autocratic government based on mercantile in
terests: and all experience has shown what
must necessarily result from such an attempt,
and that under it the defeat of the objects
we have all distinctly proposed is certain. I do
not see why we should not recognize at the out
Set, and encourage in Samoa, a spirit of self
governing freedom and self-respect. Germany
and the United States have heretofore given
strong indication of their desire for this, by
their prompt disavowal of the arbitrary and
nnautbonzed acts of their respective Consuls
(Steubel and Greenbanm), and it is noticeable
that
THE CONDUCT OP FOREIGNERS
has 'been the cause of more disorder and dis
content in Samoa than any spontaneous action
of the natives, who, whenever they have acted
improperly and immorally, would appear to
have done so upon the investigation of some
foreign acent. We cannot, therefore, condemn
native self government in advance, for it has
not been tried, and a plan containing snch an
element is entitled to favorable consideration
and to be fairly tested. Would it not, there
lore, be well for us to adjourn this conference
until the autumn, and thus give time to the
Ministers of Germany and Great Britain to
submit their protocols to their respective Gov
ernments, in order that instructions may be re
ceived by them of a more definite character, by
aid of which we may be enabled to come to an
agreement?
Mr. Bayard's proposition to adjourn until
antumn was then agreed to.

Having been a sufferer 'for two years and a
