The American member reported that the harbor of Apia was full of war vessels and the region about covered with armed men, but that "not the sail or smoke of a single vessel of commerce was to be seen there or about the coasts of these beautiful islands." In 1899, the triple protectorate was abandoned, as it had complicated the task of governing the islands.

We surely got a test, and Cornell men to this day will tell you of their great victory in 1899 over Princeton, 5 to 0.
