other islands, rocks, reefs, foreshores
and waters lying between certain de.
grees of latitude and longitude, namely,
to erect the same into a separate dis.
trict to be known as the district of Tu.
tila. The instrument of cession"
was signed by the marks of % chiefs,
with their seals affixed. on April II
last, immediately prior to the raising
of the Stars and Stripes over the naval

The provisions of the documents set
forth that the chiefs of the towns shall

ing Tutila. 1t provides also that this

prohibiting the importation OF firearms,
dynamite and other explosives into
Tutila. An order recently issued for.
bids the importation Of wines, beers or
liquors except by permission Of the
