Telegram from John Hay to Charlemagne Tower, Horace Porter, and Joseph Hodges Choate
Secretary of State John Hay asks the United States ambassadors to England, France, and Germany to consult with the Minister of Foreign Affairs in each country. He proposes that if war breaks out between Russia and Japan, the neutral powers encourage the combatants to respect China’s neutrality and limit hostilities so as not to disturb the Chinese people.
