f^e execution of Ahmed Arif el-Huseini, the
ate Alum of Gaza (see No. 38, p. 19), was heard at Jerusalem,
on the first day of Bairam. A memorial service, to which
many people were invited by Tahir Effendi Daudi, father-in-law
ot the Mufti, was held at the tomb of the victims. The dead
man s little son and daughter read a speech and poem, which

In spite of their many differences, a modus vivendi seems to
have been arranged between Seyyid Ahmed and Ramadan Shitewi.
Fhe former is to be the civil representative of Ottoman power in
Tripoli and ^yrtica, and the Governor of the country, while

The Abyssinians are said to be concealing the news. It will be
remembered that a false report of this prince’s death, on a
previous occasion (see No. 74, p. 516), was widely credited.
