The expulsion of Jews from Jaffa was accompanied by many acts of barbarism and robbery, according to a cablegram received today from Cairo, Egypt. The message says that 600 refugee Jews from Jaffa have just arrived at Alexandria on the Italian steamer Vicenzo Florio, and adds:

Thursday afternoon Bedouin police raided the Ghetto (at Jaffa), and arrested 1,600 persons and drove them, at the point of the bayonet, to the quay.
