MALTREATED BY ARABS
KIDNAPPED IRISH SOLDIER. SAVAGELY BEATEN & STARVED. DAMASCUS, June 7. Almost starved and bearing marks of savage beatings, Private Boylan, an Irish soldier of the Worcestershire Regiment, was brought in to Damascus, after escaping from some Arabs who kidnapped him at Nablus on May 25 and took him across the Syrian frontier. The Arabs tortured and beat Boylan, to make him disclose military information, but he obdurately refused and ultimately escaped.
