ARABS TERRIFIED. EERIE VOICES FROM THE CAVE OF MACPELAH. (UHITXP PBTSSS ASSOCIATION —B* ELECTRIC TtXSOftAPB COPTHIQHT.) (Received September 23rd, 5.5 p.m.) JERUSALEM, September 23, Arabs residing in the Hebron neighbourhood are abjectly terrified as the result of ghostly voices coming from the Care of Macpelah, where, so tradition says, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob lie buried. Before sunset, it is declared, there is low moaning and wailing tJI darkness, tlien cries of: "Why tire my children slaughtered, oh sons of Ishniael! Why have ye dishonoured yoiir fathers' name?" Subterranean women's voices also cry: "Why have yo shed innocent blood, why have ye not pity?" The Arabs are trying to discover a means of calming the patriarchs' troubled spirits.—Australian Press Association.
