Two battalions of British troops, the aircraft carrier Eagle, the battleship Royal Sovereign and two destroyers have been ordered to Palestine today. BEIRUT, Syria, Aug. 27. Reports reaching here today state that hostilities between Arabs and Jews had extended beyond the frontiers of Palestine. The French authorities have sent a large detachment of troops to protect the Jewish quarter in Damascus. V JERUSALEM, Aug. 27. Violent demonstrations by Arabs and Jews today followed the arrival of a Jewish delegation from Gaza into the Holy City. The British authorities have been forced to evacuate many Jews from their homes and concentrate them in heavily guarded hotels. British troops continue to arrive in Palestine by big troop-carrying airplanes. Airplanes constantly patrol Jerusalem and environs where the markets and shops are closed and the streets deserted. The Jewish dead in four days number more than one hundred, including fifteen American students at Hebron College. Southern Palestine momentarily seems quiet, but new fierce outbreaks between wild bearded Islamic tribesmen and Jews are reported from northeastern Palestine, particularly from the vicinity of Haifa .
