President Roosevelt to the Emperor of Japan.

[Telegram.]

I am glad to send Your Majesty, over the American cable, which has just been completed between Guam and Japan and thus unites our two countries across the Pacific, a message of sincere good will, and the assurance of the earnest wishes of the Government and people of the United States for the welfare and prosperity of Your Majesty and Your Majesty’s Empire.

Theodore Roosevelt.
