REBELLION IN SYRIA.
COMMISSIONER THREATENED BANDIT TLANS HIS MURDER. (Received 10.5 p.m.) Renter. • PARIS. Dec. 13. "A message from Beirut states that in a speech at a banquet given in his honour at Aleppo, M. <ie Joavenel. French High Commissioner to Syria, said that country was now calm except in the districts of Damascus and Jebel Druse. There a minority was waging war, not against France, but against Syria. if. de Jouvenel said that since his arrival he had heard persistent demands for the separation of Aleppo from Damascus. This was the result of the fratricidal war. Hassan Kharrat, the Moslem haudit leader, who is operating in the Casgour quarter of Damascus, has sent a letter to a local paper stating that he has detailed 40 men to cut off M. de Jouvenel's head. He added: " Here is our reply to his speeches."
