said
agreement made with said tribes of Indians and by the laws relating
thereto precedent to opening said lands to settlement have been, as
I hereby declare, complied with:

Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States,
by virtue of the power in me vested by the statutes hereinbefore
mentioned, also an act of Congress entitled "An act making
appropriations for the current and contingent expenses of the Indian
Department and for fulfilling treaty stipulations with various Indian
tribes for the year ending June 30, 1892, and for other purposes,"
approved March 3, 1891, and by other of the laws of the United States,
and by said agreement, do hereby declare and make known that all of said
lands hereinbefore described acquired from the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Indians by the agreement aforesaid, saving and excepting the lands
allotted to the Indians as in said agreement provided, excepting also
the lands hereinbefore described as occupied and claimed by the Wichita
and affiliated bands of Indians, or otherwise reserved in pursuance of
the provisions of said agreement and the said act of Congress ratifying
the same, and other the laws relating thereto, will at the hour of
12 o'clock noon (central standard time), Tuesday, the 19th day of
the present month of April, and not before, be opened to settlement
under the terms of and subject to all the conditions, limitations,
reservations, and restrictions contained in said agreement, the statutes
above specified, and the laws of the United States applicable thereto.

The lands to be so opened to settlement are for greater convenience
particularly described in the accompanying schedule, entitled "Schedule
of lands within the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indian Reservation, Oklahoma
Territory, opened to settlement by proclamation of the President."

Each entry shall be in square form as nearly as applicable; and no other
lands in the Territory of Oklahoma are opened to settlement under this
proclamation, the agreement with the said Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians,
or the act ratifying the same.

Notice, moreover, is hereby given that it is by law enacted that until
said lands are opened to settlement by proclamation no person shall be
permitted to enter upon and occupy the same, and no person violating
this provision shall be permitted to enter any of said lands or acquire
any right thereto, and that the officers of the United States will be
required to enforce this
