John Callan O’Laughlin met with President Roosevelt and discussed potential outcomes of the Japanese and Russian conflict. If Vice Admiral Rojestvenksy’s fleet is believed to be strong by the government, then Roosevelt has no concern. However, if the fleet is weak, Roosevelt advises considering the effect upon Vladivostock. Count Cassini indicated he would bring Roosevelt’s views to the Russians.
