President Roosevelt informs Acting Secretary of State Adee that he has received his telegram and two from Mr. Murray. Roosevelt does not understand whether the captain of the Russian ship Lena has expressed the desire for complete repairs, accepting that would require disarmament. If the captain agreed, Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich is to oversee the disarmament. If the captain has not agreed, Adee is to obtain a statement from the Russian Ambassador to the United States Arthur Paul Nicholas Cassini as to the captain’s intentions. If the Russians do not act, the United States will make a formal examination on its own, and if the repairs are extensive, insist on immediate disarmament.
