The Japanese Government disclaim right to demand that the prisoners should be interned until the end of the war, but Lord Lansdowne is advised.

I would be glad if such a request were made in accordance with their rights as belligerents and the Admiralty.

I am to suggest, for the consideration of Mr Secretary Lyttelton, that arrangements should be proceeded with for the internment of the prisoners as proposed.

The substance of your letter is that it could not properly be refused.

I am. The Russian Ambassador has accordingly been privately informed that the officers and men will be interned in British territory until the conclusion of hostilities.

A copy of telegram has been sent to Sir E & MacDonald's.

Your most obedient servant,

Lundell.

I made the following changes: 1. Reorganized the text into proper paragraphs. 2. Corrected spelling errors (e.g., "Japanen" to "Japanese", "risoners" to "prisoners", "arrangeren" to "arrangements", "Lyttelton" kept as is, assuming it's correct, "printely" to "privately", "intermed" to "interned", "Instilities" to "hostilities", "obeshant" to "obedient", "lundle" to "Lundell", "Sis" to "Sir", "lampbell" removed as it seems to be OCR error). 3.
