Stowaway Refused byU.S. Minister May Discuss == WoopwaRD & LLOTHROP days has a daily publication printed President Eloquent in Plea for American Shipping to Zanzibar. By the Associated Press. A’ cwious diplomatic document, writ- ten by President Pillmore in 1851 to the Sultan of Muscat, was made public by the State Department today after being dragged out of musty files be- cause of its comic opera style. Acting Setretary Castle described it @s “the most amazing diplomatic docu- ment I have read in a long time.” ‘The note addressed to Seyed was Syeed Bin, Sultan of Muscat, & city on g the eastern side of the Arabian Penin- sula, and signed by President Fillmore s.ndt teD--nlel Webster, then Secretary of ate. Tts apparent purpose was to get the Sultan’s permission for American ships to enter ports of Zanazibar, a Muscat province, and President Filimore went to great pains to impress the Sultan with the power and importance of this | country. Tells of Many Ships. g to great Nation which now float over all seas” and sald he would “order them frequently to stop at Zan- zibar and inquire after your health.” Pillmore pictured the wonders of his land in flowery language, saying: “From the region of ice which bounds the United States on the north to the flowery land of the orange on the south is a journey of one hundred days, and from the eastern shores, which receive the first beams of the rising sun, to those of the west, where rest his set- ting rays, is one hundred and fifty days’ Journey, and this immense country is not a sandy waste, but filled with populous cities, traversed by mighty rivers and crowned with lofty moun- tains. “By rallroads or in steamboats the eitizens of this immense country pass from one place to another with incon- celvable rapidity. PFrom the seat of Government, at Wi I send my e s, Sl g telegra s of the United States, and they are obeyed.” Mohammedan Phrasing. State Dpe&:unen: experts belleve President ore was aided in prep- aration of the note by some one fa- miliam with the Sultan’s country, be- cause it was filled with Mohammedan phrases. ‘The note was addressed “to our great and good friend, his majesty Seyed Syeed Bin, Sultan of Muscat and its dependencies,” and throughout the let- ter the Sultan was addressed as such. Expressing hope for the Sultan's health, Fillmore said, “I pray that your days may be many, and that. your reign may continue to be peaceful, prosperous and glorious and that your shadow may never be less.” Referring to letters sent by the Sultan to President Polk, a few years before, Fillmore said: “I am sorry to tell you that he no longer is an inhabitant of the earth. The last President was Gen. Zachary Taylor—. My heart sinks within me when I tell you that he too has joined the ranks of the immortals.” | B Seal Impressive, After explaining the seal of the United States had been placed on the note “by the officer who is entrusted to hold it, and to use it on great and solemn occasions,” PFillmore concluded « by noting that the document was writ- ten May, 1851, in the 75th year of American independence, and “the eighth day of the month Redjeb, in the year of Hegira one thousand two hundred and sixty-seven.” ‘The letter was dispatched aboard the naval steamship Susquehanna in the eustody of Comdr.
