Mr. Terrell to Mr. Gresham.

[Telegram.]

Mr. Riddle has come back. The governor of Aleppo has admitted our right to have a representative present whenever seizures and searches are made in American schools in which native teachers are concerned. The governor stated that the minister of foreign affairs of Turkey had so instructed him. The schools are saved by this and this success was obtained without demand or strain to our friendly relations with Turkey.
