St. Petersburg, Oct 28th, 1904. Of course, you know first details of the North Sea incident from our ad- miral's telegram Naturally it changes completely the character of the event. I have no words to express my indigna- tion with England's conduct I agree fully with your complaints about England's bel aviour concerning the coaling of our ships by German steamers. Whereas she understands the rules of keeping neutrality in her own fashion, it is certainly high time to put a stop to this. The only way, as you say would be that Germany, Russia, and France should at once unite apon. arrangements to abolish English and Japanese arrogance and insolence. Would you like to lay down and frame the outlines of such a treaty ! As soon as it is accepted by as France is bound to join her ally.
