Includes Appendix A: "Treaty with the United States and the inhabitants of Ponape, or Ascension" : (in part) : "Know all the rulers of the earth, that we the King and High Chiefs of the Island of Ponape, do bind ourselves, our heirs, and lawful successors, from this time and forever, to protect the lives and property of all persons who may be shipwrecked on the shores of any part of our territories, and to give them all possible aid and comfort till they are able to leave for their homes, or other such places as they may elect. And further; That such shipwrecked persons shall in no way be restrained of their liberty or freedom while within the limits of our territories, unless for the prevention of crime by such shipwrecked persons. And further; That having voluntarily received missionaries, they shall be allowed perfect freedom in preaching and teaching of their doctrines, nor shall any of our people be forbidden or withheld by [sic] any persons within the limits of our territories from attending such preaching and teaching. And further; That any of our people who now are, or hereafter may become Christians, shall not be interfered with in their new religious opinions or belief. And further; Any foreigners who may hereafter acquire land in our territories by lawful purchase, shall, on the payment of the sum mutually agreed upon, be furnished with a deed descriptive of the land so purchased, which deed shall secure said purchaser, his heirs, assigns and executors forever in the quiet and peaceable possession of the land. And further; That all foreigners residing or trading within the limits of our territories shall be safe and secure in the possession of their property and the pursuit of their lawful business, nor shall any person within our dominion entice any seaman to desert from his vessel, or harbor or conceal said seaman after such desertion, under a fine of (50) fifty dollars....." |
