Embargo on coal movement and Baltic naval actions reported
Washington reports an immediate embargo on moving coal to tidewater unless unloading at piers is promptly achieved. The armored cruiser Pittsburg and a destroyer are ordered to the Baltic to safeguard American interests, now at Cherbourg and heading to Russian waters.
