INCIDENT IN SYRIA.
ARREST OF AN EMIR.
PROTESTS IN PARIS.
BRITISH AIMS SUSPECTED. By Telegraph Press Association— Copyright. (Received 1 30 a.m.) A. and N.Z. LONDON, Sept. 3. The arrest by the British authorities in Syria of Emir Said, a French protege, in a village under French jurisdiction, has fanned into a. flame the smouldering suspicions in Paris that French interests are in danger of being prejudiced in the final settlement of Syria. Vehement protests have appeared in the French press, which have been likened to the agitation which arose over the Fashoda incident. No response has appeared in the British press, and scarcely any comment has been made. This' is apparently due to a conviction that French misgivings will be allayed as soon as the time is ripe to disclose British proposals regarding the future administration of Syria.
