Ambassador Griscom describes to Secretary of State Root the riots in Tokyo, which broke out upon news of the peace treaty ending the Russo-Japanese War. Although several foreigners and American churches have been attacked, the violence does not seem to be specifically directed at foreigners or Christians. However, Griscom encloses a letter stating that two churches are in imminent danger of being attacked and burned, in which he requests protection from Japanese forces.
