Piub Association —By Telegraph—-CopyrijiV
LONDON, October 18. The Paris correspondent of The Time* says that private despatches received, indicate a disquieting position in SyriaThey state that the insurgent Druse chiefs show no sign of submitting. The roads outside Damascus are wholly unsafe, and bands of Bedouins are virtual masters of Northern Syria, the French having neither troops nor gendarmes to oppose them. The serious riotings in Damascus and Hama recently were promoted by the rebels. A number of buildings were set on fire and burned. Troops from Aleppo quelled the outbreak*, killing over 100 rebels.—The Times. .
