A commission of western powers meets in Beirut, Lebanon over recent massacres of Christians

After the widespread massacre of Christians in the region, a conference of powers including Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, and Turkey met in Beirut.  It forced the Turkish Government, accused of colluding in the recent killings of perhaps 11,000, to repartition and reorganize its Syrian and Lebanese provinces so as to protect Christians.  Lebanon was placed under a Christian, non-Lebanese governor.  (By John Osborne)
