Based on the terms of the treaty, all signatories recognized the independence of Samoa. Moreover, Samoa was guaranteed autonomy under the control of its own king. Also, the king would be advised by consuls from the United States, Great Britain, and Germany. The treaty was ultimately replaced by the Treaty of Berlin (1899).
