DAMASCUS, June 21 Desola tion .reigns in Damascus. ' The holy city ot the near East, keeper of the tradition of AruBs nnd Moslems, is in a slate of selge from without, while rebellion is seething within. A triple row of barbed wire, block houses and dug outs bristling with machine guns and flunked by artillery encircling the heart of the city, have kept the dissident Druses from storming the Moslem capital of Syria. For six months, however, the dissidents have been holding the once luxur iant gardens virtually surrounding the city. Barricades and barbed wire en tanglements are at every important street corner and command every square in the very center of the city to within a hundred yards of the general staff headquarters of the French army. These defensive measures have maintained a rela tive calm among the inhabitants within the walls of the ancient capital, but have not completely stamped out rebellious elements. The dissident forces holding the garden have been estimated at be- tweeu 1220 and 2,000. They have no artillery save two smull nutl- taak guns. Sultan Attrache, commander-in-chief of the Druse army, within the past few days, sent a message to the American people through the Associated Press in which he de nied the violation ot the rights of Christians in Syria and stated that his people merely were fighting the French in order to establish their own rights in their native land.
