BRIGANDS IN DAMASCUS.
SHOOTING IN THE CITY. LIFE FTTLL Or GOLOTTR. OFFICIAL KIDNAPPED. [By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 10.30 a.m.i DAMASCUS, January 31. Despite French precautions, brigands still enter the town with impunity. Raids accompanied by shooting are of daily occurrence. At present it is not safe to move about the native quarter owing to the danger of firing breaking out at any moment. Recently brigands penetrated the Amara quarter, near the Christian quarter, and kidnapped the brother-in-law of the President of the Damascus municipality, holding him for ransom for £500 in gold.— (Reuter.)
