Western Samoa (islands of Savai’i, Upolu, Manono and Apolima, of which
consisted before the kingdoms of Tuiaana and Malietoa) was administered by Germany
from 1899 to 1920, and then by New Zealand until
independence in 1962. According to Crampton’s The
World of Flags [cra90], this was "the basic flag of the Malietoa
kingdom" ... "prior to 1900" ... "probably inspired by
missionaries" while the Tuiaana line, who favored the German cause, used
flags with black crosses.

Another flag here from the William Crampton book The Complete Guide to Flags [cra89], 1989. This one was under the Western Samoa section of the book, on page 127.
Tupua Tamasesse (1887-1889). The flag is white with a black St. George’s cross throughout, and a white star in a red canton.
I found that the dates for this flag fit roughly between the two time
periods for the Kingdom of Samoa (1873-1886 and 1888-1900).
