I have the honour to forward for

your information a translation of a letter addressed to me

on the 11th. August, 1905, by Sub-Lieutenant Skrydloff of

the Imperial Russian Navy making certain complaints with

regard to the treatment of the Russian sailors from the

former Torpedo Boat Destroyer "Burni", together with

copies of a letter I caused to be addressed on the subject

to the Imperial Russian Consul here and of Monsieur C. de

‚Bologowskoy's reply.

I have requested the Officer Com-

-manding the Troops to cause Sub-Lieutenant Skrydloff to be
