Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 5, 1905

Chargé Eddy to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

American Embassy,
St. Petersburg, November 15, 1905.

(Mr. Eddy reports that St. Petersburg is perfectly quiet. All railroad communication is cut off. Within the next few days the Emperor will give to the peasants a large portion of the crown lands. The mutineers at Cronstadt, with the exception of six, who were executed to-day, will be pardoned. These facts should do much toward stopping the present strike.)
