The Consul General at Irkutsk (Harris) to the Secretary of State1

[Telegram]
Omsk, November 26, 1918.
[Received November 29, 2.43 p.m.]

206. Consul Thomson, Irkutsk, reports that telegraphic communication between that city and Vladivostok resumed. Bolshevik insurrections were expected in Irkutsk and other cities, but strict military precautions have been enforced for the past few days and Irkutsk has been always quiet. The intelligent class of Irkutsk regard the outcome of the Kolchak incident here in Omsk as a turn for the better in Russian affairs.
