President Roosevelt tells Ambassador Sternburg that he has received his recent letter, and wishes for Speck to tell German Emperor William II that he now understands the situation. Roosevelt will be surprised if England intends to do what the emperor thinks they will do. Roosevelt agrees with many of the views Emperor William II expressed, and supposes that the the question of the sort of compensation Russia will be entitled to will depend on the military situation at the time.
