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.)
