It is reported from Amman that during a recent Kranco-Druse engagement in Syria the Druses captured several guns enabling them to take Seida, the capital of Jebel Druse. The French retired to Ezraa, losing a number in killed and wounded. The reverse has caused consternation in Derat. The Druses are reported to have captured 100 camele laden with ammunition and provisions.— (Reuter.)
