Many incidents are still occurring in the outlying districts and the British troops are constantly engaged in rounding up villagers, seizing arms and making arrests, states a despatch from the special correspondent of the London “Daily Telegraph.”

There has been no clash between the British and Arab forces, although the raiders and marauders have been fired upon from time to time. The total casualties among all sections of the population amount to 700, including 200 dead, the correspondent writes.
