Governor-General of the Philippines Wright advises Secretary of War Taft that two of the Russian ships are badly damaged near the waterline and will need repairs to be seaworthy; the third is not so badly damaged. The wounded have been treated. Wright is construing the President’s statement on neutrality to mean that the ships should be repaired and kept under guard.
