Can the report really be true that Swedish warships came to Öland Island, landed a detachment and forced our men to retreat? What military measures of defence and counter-action has Centrobalt taken? What warships has it sent to Öland, and when precisely?
Reply immediately. We are extremely concerned. We refuse to believe that Centrobalt and our revolutionary fleet have been inactive. I await a reply.
