No. 230. Mr. Read to Mr. Evarts.
Legation of the United States, Athens, February 6, 1878. (Received March 2.)
No. 355.]
Sir: The continuance of Photiades Bey at Athens and of Mr. Coundouriotis, the Greek minister, at Constantinople is a noticeable feature of the present situation. The representatives of the protecting powers— England, France, and Russia—in consultation with the representatives of the other European states, have induced the Greek Government to withdraw the Greek troops from Turkey, upon the understanding that Greece will receive certain guarantees in the approaching conference. It is said that the order to return will be sent to-night or to-morrow morning to General Sontzo.
I have, &c.,
JOHN MEREDITH READ.
