Perfect order reigns in Mecca, the Holy City of the Moslems, after the siege of the Wahabis, according to information received here from Mecca. It is stated that the previous reports concerning the plundering of houses and the palace of ex-King Hussein were exaggerated. Not Wahabi soldiers, but traders entered the city.
