The French paper Moniteur de la Flotte states that their readers will not come across any new details about tactical movements within the reports provided by the Russian admirals and captains. It is still unclear what happened in the Battle of Tsushima between Russia and Japan. The Russian fleet was badly defeated and destroyed, and details about the battle are obscure.

The Office of Naval Intelligence reports on the positions of the opposing armies in Manchuria in the previous week. The Russians advanced to the vicinity of Changtu and Kaiyuen, falling back again to their former position. A delay in repairing the railroad bridge across the Hun River, in addition to the opening of the railroad to traffic, may account for the failure of the Japanese to advance beyond Kaiyuen. Nothing definite has been reported in regard to the absolute whereabouts of either the Russian or Japanese fleet.

John Callan O’Laughlin informs President Roosevelt of recent developments in the conflict between Russia and Japan. Count Arthur Cassini agrees with the Japanese Minister that there can be no peace until after the battle and question of command of the sea is determined, and O’Laughlin believes Roosevelt would be the best medium through which to initiate negotiations between the two countries. O’Laughlin also cautions Roosevelt regarding a trip to Japan planned by Secretary of War William H. Taft and Alice Roosevelt, which Cassini believes will provoke hard feelings in Russia.
