Arab Bureau, Jerusalem.
Sherif Abdullah ibn Hamza has come in to Jerusalem from
(jrhor es-Satieh, and been entertained in the new cate-club which
has been opened in connection with the Arab Bureau. He was
delighted, we hear, with the amenities which this institution
offers to Arab visitors. The club is in an ex-German coffee-shop
on the main road, near the Jaffa Gate and communicates at the
hack with the garden of the house used for the residence ot the
officers of the Bureau and the lodging of Arabs ot quality.
This house, formerly in German hands, is set back against the
city wall, with a terrace and garden dividing it from the low
lock-up shops which form the road frontage, three ot these
shops, including the cafe, belong to it, and two are rented out to
Jew tradesmen. Coffee, tea, etc. (no alchohol, ot course) are
supplied in the cafe to those who have cards of membership,
o-iven gratis to approved Arabs. Arabic literature, news-telegrams,
etc., are provided, and informal talks and addresses are to be
given, when members are assembled in the evening.
