The Jews Remember!


Hebrew newspapers In America IN
taking warm interest in the war with
Spain and urging the young men d
their race to volunteer and fight for the
United States Some Of the wealthy
Jews have given money to tho govern.
nent to prosecute the war. Hebrew
citizens Of the United States are always
patriotic. They know better than any
other people what it is to be prosecuted
md oppressed, and they appreciate q
country where all citizens are free to
pursue their callings as they choose.
But at present they are unusually en-.
thusiastio for the success of the United
States arms. A writer in The Jewish
Press says his people in America "pray
daily in the sacred language of the
prophets for the victorious progress Of
Uncle Sam, whose disinterested inter.
vention on behalf Of freedom and civ.
ilisation will add q glorious page to
history"
The Jews all over the country hope
and pray and expect that the present
war will result in the downfall Of
Spain. Why? The Hebrew race does
not forget. Four hundred years ago in
Spain their people were subjected to
the bloodiest persecution that even the
Jew had ever known. The writer in
The Jewish Press speaks Of the bondage
in Egypt and adds "But what is the
Egyptian tyrant in comparison with the
Spanish inquisitors who roasted US alive
for the crime of being born Of Jewish
parents, who burned our homes and
finally exiled us in the name Of Chris
tianity, which we have given to them,
in the name of the meek Nazarene, the
great peasant teacher, who was only q
Jew?" The Jewish Gazette says that of
the 800, 900 persons put to death by the
spaniards then perhaps the greatest
part of the victims were Jews"
These things happened 400 years ago,
yet the remembrance lives and burns
in the breasts of the descendants of
those who suffered. It should be a
warning to any nation against doing
injustice. The Jewish Gazette is glad
that the United States has opened q
war on "that hotbed Of religious intol-
GRANGE and bloodthirsty persecution
which is known as the kingdom of
Spain" It says:
It is sinful to think Of revenge, but the Jew
lsh people cannot help remembering Spain.
At last this country is at war with Spaini
The hour Of Spain's end has struck, and its
awful career of brutality Is nearing an end.
It is fitting, indeed, that to this glorious land
of liberty should be assigned the duty Of pun
fishing that ubiquitous land Of tyranny, cruelty
and bigotry. May the punishment be terrible,
for it has been deserved! Aud In this hour,
when freemen are shouldering muskets to
fight in a holy cause. what is the duty Of our
brethren9 Can they forget the martyrs Of tho
inquisition2 Can they forget the rack, the
wheel, the auto da fe, the stake and the fame
Can they forget the holy men and women. thu
flower Of our race, who died with '6hema IT,
rael" ON their ltpsi Can they forget those
who died for God and Judaism1 Can they for

There is no reason to doubt the good
will of Great Britain to us. It is not
out of place, therefore, to call attention
Of Canadians to the fact that although
that arch spy Polo has gone home he
arranged for the secret Spanish service
to be conducted precisely the same as
before from the safe vantage Of Quebec.
That Du Bosc, who was first seer Try
Of the Spanish legation in Washington,
has taken a house permanently in Que:
bee should be taken note of by Canada
and England. Du Bose can send his
cipher dispatches to his master in Spain,
revealing every movement Of this gov
eminent, the size Of our army and fleets,
their whereabouts and other facts which
can be used to our injury. The United
States this moment is full of spies in
the pay Of Spain. It is spain's way Of
doing business England should not let
them make report to their employers
through her territory.
France indeed has need to pocket her
spite and jealousy Of us at present, even
If she secretly cherishes any such feel.
ings toward us, which it is to be hoped
is not the case. France would be loser
to the extent of some millions Of dollars
annually by INDUCING in hostile re-
marks concerning us. American tourists
spend money like water there and

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The war de-
partment is considering plans Tor feed
ing the people of Cuba who may be
found in a starving condition when the
Spanish evacuate. Very little informa-
ton is yet at hand regarding the condi-
ton of the people, but from what was
known of them before hostilities began
and the fact that very little opportunity
has been afforded them since to secure
food, it is believed that thousands must
be destitute.
The poor people, known at the begin
ming of the war as reconcentrados, may
have persisted, but the pacifcos and
others who were not part of the Span
ish army, are believed by officials here
to be in precarious condition. The
details of the plan for furnishing food
has not been matured, bnt the distri-
button will be under the direction of
army officers. 1t will not be entrusted
to local chiefs of municipalities. The
war department officials intend that the
food issued will go to those who are
real needy and shall not be swallowed
up by a few greedy ones.
The quartermaster s and commissary
departments of the army are ready to
furnish and transport supplies as soon
as orders are issued Several transports
will be held in readiness, and the stores
will be ready to be placed ON board as
soon as it is determined that they shall
be sent.

NO SERIOUS DIFFICULTIES.
Catholics Say the Church Question In
Porto Rico, Cuba, Will Be
Easily Settled.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Among those
occupying high official position with
the Catholic church it is said the ANAL
gamation of the Catholic committees of
Cuba, Porto Rico and other Spanish
colonies presents no serious difficulties.
The first requisite, it is pointed out, is
to terminate the concordat by which
Spain and the vatican jointly conduct
the administration of these colonies.
Under the concordat the Spanish gov
eminent names the bishops to be APP
pointed in the Spanish colonies, and
these names, being sent to Rome, are
formally appointed by the pontiff.
The bishops will likely be left in their
places. and the change of system will be
inaugurated gradually as those now in
service drop off and are succeeded. The
new system will probably be that under
which bishops are chosen in the United
States, there being no state participa-
ton, but merely a choice by the estab-
ished Catholic authorities wherein q
change occurs, this choice being re-
ferred to Rome for formal appointment.

AUXILIARY SHIPS.
laval Board to Meet Today to Decide
What to DO with Extra
Xes4eIa.

WASHINGTON, Aug 24.-The disposal
of the large feet of auxiliary cruisers
naval craft, about 100 in all, including
number OF large ocean-going mer-
chantmen, which have been improvised
into cruisers, golfers. etc., will be taken
up at the navy department. today by a
special board of naval officers, being
Captain Clark of the batt|eship Oregon,
who may no be present as he is on
leave. Captsiu digginson of the battle
ship Massachusetts, Captain Chadwick
Of the crGls5r New York, Civil Engi-
neer Anaraae. who inspected the ships
at Santiago, and Naval Constructor
Tawresey.
The fleet includes 80 cruisers and
large yachts. This fleet cost many mil
lions of dollars.
The board will determine what YES
sells should be retained, as many of those
on hand are serviceable as Golfers, sup
ply, ambulance or distilling ships
Those to be sold will be appraised, and
the navy department will then adver-
tise Tor bids Tor the ships not wanted.
There is some curiosity as to the
amounts which will be offered for these
vessels. When they were bought the
urgent needs of the government COM
PEELED the payment of prices which, in
some cases, were regarded as fancy. !"
Doubts are expressed in naval circles
whether these same fancy prices will
prevail when the offers to the govern
ment are made.

The Dust of Columbus.

OF the many Cuban goods and
chattels which Spain has agreed to
turn over to us in trust not the least
valuable is that half of the remains
Of an Italian navigator named Chris
topher Columbus, whose appearance
in West Indian waters some four
centuries ago created not little
talk at the time and has not yet
been wholly forgotten.
Spain, it seems, thinks that the
American pigs" are not aware of
the fact that this valuable piece of
personal property is concealed IN the
cathedral at Havana. So she has
ordered Marshal Blanco to hide it
away in his luggage and bring it
home with him.
While this distinguished Italian
was alive Spain treated him shame
fully. After killing him with un-
grateful cruelties she began ship
ping his body hither and thither.
This resulted in half Of it being
stolen and buried in Santo Domin-
go, while the other half was buried
in Havana.
The body of Columbus belongs to
the New World. 1t must remain in
the New World. Santo Domingo is
welcome to the half that she has,
although she has only fraudulent
title to it. Cuba must keep the 9th
er half. We give Marshal Blanco
fair warning that his luggage is go
ing to be searched. World
