Acting Secretary of State Adee informs President Roosevelt that the captain of the disabled Russian cruiser Lena has withdrawn his intimation of willingness to disarm the cruiser for repairs, pending conversation with Russian ambassador Arthur Paul Nicholas Cassini. Complete repairs to the ship’s boilers would take an estimated eight months, and the captain has suggested that he is willing to disarm the vessel and remain in port for the duration of the war. If this is done, Adee asks what the United States should do with the crewmembers.
