[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Department of State,
Washington, January 5, 1905.

(Mr. Adee advises Mr. McCormick that in conformity with Mr. Eddy’s telegram of December 13, 1904, interested claimants have been informed that all appeals from decisions of the Vladivostok prize court must be filed in St. Petersburg; that his letter of December 20, 1904, states that appeals in the case of the Arabia and the Calchas must be filed at Vladivostok. Asks to be informed which statement is right, and whether Mr. Berline has received powers of attorney sufficient in form to enable him to effect appeals.)
