APIA, Samoa, December 7.-[Per the
steamer Alameda to San Francisco. +
King Malietoa at last has been formerly
recognized as the ruler of Samoa by the
Consuls Of the United States, Great
Britain and Germany. About a month
ago the Consuls issued q proclamation
declaring that the Berlin Conference
had agreed to recognize Malietoa as
King, and advising the natives to recog-
nize him as such. Tamasese replied
by saying that his followers were willing
that such course should be taken.
Malietoa and Mataafa agreed to the sug-
gestion, and the native chiefs of the
islands also signed document acknowl-
edging Malietoa as King. Accordingly
on December 5th Malietoa's flag
was hoisted on the site Of
the old Government house
and the United States man-of.w
Adams fred salute of twenty.o .one guns
in it's honor. The German man of war
Sophie, which was also lying in the har-
Dor, did not fire a salute. The coneuls
held conference the same evening, and
issued proclamation declaring that the
Governments of the United States, Great
Britain and Germany, from this time,
recognize Malietoa as King of Samoa.
The proclamation also advised the two
native parties, which have been hitherto
opposed to each other, to effect an ulti-
mate reconciliation as soon as possible,
and contribute to the peaceable agree
ment of the new Samoan Government.
The proclamation was printed in the
English and Samoan languages, and
posted in various parts of the islands.
The opinion is generally expressed that
this action on the part of the three con-
suls is the ultimate settlement of the
difficulties.

more cannot be said until an adjustment
