With the exception of Nablus, where some shops were closed, the entire country was quiet today, according to the official reports which have come in from the various places. Official quarters maintain that there was no ground for the uneasiness which has prevailed in the country during the last few days, in anticipation of trouble occurring today on account of the prohibited Arab demonstrations, and that there was no reason whatever for the partial evacuation of Jews and Arabs from some of the mixed quarters in Jerusalem, Jaffa, and other towns.
