Telegram from Alvey A. Adee to Theodore Roosevelt

Telegram from Alvey A. Adee to Theodore Roosevelt

Acting Secretary of State Adee informs President Roosevelt that the captain of the disabled Russian cruiser Lena has withdrawn his intimation of willingness to disarm the cruiser for repairs, pending conversation with Russian ambassador Arthur Paul Nicholas Cassini. Complete repairs to the ship’s boilers would take an estimated eight months, and the captain has suggested that he is willing to disarm the vessel and remain in port for the duration of the war. If this is done, Adee asks what the United States should do with the crewmembers.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Alvey A. Adee

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Alvey A. Adee

President Roosevelt informs Acting Secretary of State Adee that he has received his telegram and two from Mr. Murray. Roosevelt does not understand whether the captain of the Russian ship Lena has expressed the desire for complete repairs, accepting that would require disarmament. If the captain agreed, Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich is to oversee the disarmament. If the captain has not agreed, Adee is to obtain a statement from the Russian Ambassador to the United States Arthur Paul Nicholas Cassini as to the captain’s intentions. If the Russians do not act, the United States will make a formal examination on its own, and if the repairs are extensive, insist on immediate disarmament.
