LEADER'S ATTEMPT.

Further Consideration Of Jews , Stand Sought. PALESTINE PROPOSALS. Independent Cable Service. (Received 12 noon.) LONDON, May 10. Cabinet met at No. 10, Downing Street, to consider the Peace Front progress, also the Palestine proposals, which will probably be published in a White Paper next week. , Dr. Weizmann, Zionist leader, will arrive in London to-night from Palestine. It is likely that he will make a lastminute effort for the postponement of the White Paper until Zionist objections are further considered.

Reports continue to reach interested quarters in London from Damascus which reveal serious dissension between the Palestine terrorist leaders and the rebel committee there, says a British official wireless message. The disputes are principally about funds, which the terrorists' leaders contend are being employed by members of the committee for their own use. Certain of the gang leaders are stated- to have decided to attempt to return to Palestine for the purpose of collecting money themselves. For example, Mohil Zawati, Abdul Razzak's henchman, who is in Transjordan, openly admitted these differences recently, and said that while he had no interest in the rebellion as a national movement he intended to return to collect as much money as possible for himself. Abdul Khader Husseini is reliably reported to have made demands for morfey from a number of villages, including Beitunya and Subaher. TWO JEWS MURDERED. ONE ASSAILANT CAUGHT.
