Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 6, 1904

Mr. Adee to Count Cassini.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, September 13, 1904.

The matter of the Lena at San Francisco is having the instant attention of this Department. Precise information is being sought as to the condition of the boilers, machinery, and hull of the ship and the extent and duration of the repairs needed to enable her to put to sea. It appears so far that very extensive repairs are asked, amounting to virtual renovation.

Alvey A. Adee,
Acting Secretary.
