Which would roughly translate as:

I hope this helps.


*It could also be 1898/1889/1899, but I think the year given, 1888, is the most probable option, followed closely by 1898.
The date is correct, Sultan Harun Al Rashid was installed by the Spanish in 1886 and abdicate in favor of his cousin in 1893. He was exiled in Palawan until his death. He has a resident in Jolo from 1886-1893.
