Consul Donohoe to Sir L. West.
San Francisco, 10th May, 1888.

Sir,—I have the honour to enclose copy of a letter which I received this morning from the Imperial German Consul relative to trade with the Marshall Islands.

There is some trade in schooners from San Francisco with these islands, but the vessels are under the American flag.

Upon making inquiries here, I find that the vessels under the British flag trading there usually hail from the Australian Colonies.
I have, &c.,
D. DONOHOE.

Enclosure 2 in No. 1.

M. Rosenthal to Consul Donohoe.
San Francisco, 1st May, 1888.

Sir,—The Imperial German Government has declared the port of Yalint to be the only port of entry of the Marshall Islands.

The masters of those ships which come from any port outside of said islands have to enter the port of Yalint, and to report to the Imperial Commissioner at said last-mentioned port before touching any other one of the said islands.

Any violation of any of the foregoing provisions shall be punishable by fine not exceeding 6,000 marks. This fine may be enforced against the ship and cargo without regard to the owner of the same, and the forfeiture of the ship may be adjudged.

It being desirable that all parties concerned receive timely notice of the foregoing, I would most respectfully request you to have the masters of such ships as are under your official control and may go to the Marshall Islands informed of the above requirements.
I am, &c.,
A. ROSENTHAL,
Imperial German Consul.
