Russian Ambassador George von Lengerke Meyer sends Assistant Secretary of State Adee news about Russia’s reaction to the defeat of her fleet. People believe war is useless but they are not yet ready for revolution. The Russian government will bring about reforms so people will read this, be relieved, and not revolt. Through a non-official source, Meyer mentions two opportunities for United States involvement: with monetary demands channeled through Japan that could drag war out another five years, or using Théophile Delcassé in France to respond.
