President Roosevelt approves of Acting Secretary of State Adee’s views and tells him to let Consuls General Fowler and Goodnow, at Che-fu and Shanghai, respectively, act in accordance with them. Adee is to ask Assistant Secretary of the Navy Charles Hial Darling to warn Admiral Yates Stirling to keep a sharp lookout so that he will not be taken by surprise. Stirling must be allowed to act to preserve American rights against either combatant (presumably China and Russia).

Acting Secretary of State Adee reports that John Fowler, the Consul of Chefoo, China, has been informed that the Chinese government has withdrawn all of their war vessels from Chefoo because they cannot enforce neutrality. Thus it would appear that “both belligerents” can infer that military operations can be conducted there. Adee does not believe any further instruction is required to Fowler, and he would like both Fowler and John Goodnow, the Consul of Shanghai, to be removed from any association with larger international implications.
