Acting Secretary of State Adee writes a transcript of his interview with Japanese Minister Shinʼichirō Kurino. Adee and Kurino discussed the housing of the Russian warship Lena in San Francisco and the question of what might happen to the officers and crew of the ship. Kurino expressed the Imperial government’s desire that the men not be sent back to Russia if that is requested by the Russian government, and Adee asked for a written copy of the request.
