quist will not be allowed to repair his
ships at Manila. This government has

of any injuries received in battle.

paired unless they are interned until

the Russian vessels agree to leave
Manila in their present condition they
would be welcome to do so, but, as it

any damage caused by sea or storm,
this government would be obliged to
take the position as outlined above.

gendarmerie. He is given the right &C
close all assemblies and congresses, to
suspend indefinitely all societies, all
leagues and other bodies manifesting
pernicious activity, and to take all
steps necessary to preserve order and
suppress revolutionary propaganda.
The document is of the deepest in

and that the question of peace will not
be submitted to a zemsky zoboro.
