The American Chargé d’Affaires at St. Petersburg to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

American Embassy,
St. Petersburg, October 16, 1911.

Your October 14. Neratoff informs me that reports from affected districts are most disquieting, Russia has no missionaries there and few business men at safe points. He thinks, however, concentration of all foreigners at accessible ports highly desirable. In his opinion situation at present does not call for further measures by the powers.
