were the beginning of the period of carnage which spread to all cities of Spain and over the entire peninsula, growing in fury as it progressed, until every Jew had been either murdered, baptized or banished, and Spain was at the mercy of the lawless, bloodthirSty mob. The craving for plunder and the worst animal passions drew to the rioters ranks the very worst clements from all classes, who maSqueraded un- der religious fervor, while the persecu- ton swept like a raging torrent over Spain, leaving death and devastation in its path. Riot and rebellion were rampant throughout the kingdom. Armed nlobs patrolled the streets, defy ing the authorities. Men took to arms for the lust of spells, murder and ra- pine. They lost all human feelings and turned to vultures.
 The rioters, steadily augmented in number, and crazed from excesses, at tackled Cordova, the parent community of the peninsula, murdering all Jews who refused baptism Toledo, the cap ital. contained the largest community. Here the mob rose on June 20, Jewish fast day, and slaughtered the steadfast adherents to the ancient faith. At the approach of the mercileSS mob, when escape seemed impossible, many of the most prominent Jews put to death mothers, wives, daughters and sisters to save them from the worse fate of falling into the hands of the inhuman rioters, and killed themselves. Seventy communities were made the victims of that terrible violence, which travelled like the black scourge. At Ascalona not a single Jew remained alive Three weeks after the outbreak at Toledo the inhabitants of Valencia rose against the Jews. Of the 5000 Jews in that city not one remained. About 250 were mur- dered at the first attack, some fled and all the rest embraced Christianity. Throughout the kingdom the Jews were attacked with fire and sword.
 On August 5, the massacre of the Jews began in Barcelona, the proudest home of Jewish intelligence and wealth The great fortunes which the Jews of that place had acquired by their ex- tensive maritime commerce excited the envy of the rabble. In the first on- slaught nearly 2500 victims fell. A large portion of the Jewish .commun- ity found shelter in the citadel where they were defended by the Governor

they had reached the very zenith of influence and prosperity the storm of spoliation and persecution, which had devastated the Jewish quarters of France and Germany, broke over Spain, the stronghold of Jews of all Europe. That persecution changed the history of the Jews and turned the fortunes of Spain. Until that period Spain had been mistress of the world, on land and sea. The Mediterranean was to her as an inland lake, her fleet cover ing and traversing it from end to end. All other countries were more or less dependent upon Spain in their foreign trade relations. While thus intod- cated by her own glory and power, slowly but surely she encompassed her own downfall It was near the close of the fourteenth century that fanat icism, bigotry, hatred and religious frenzy got the better of toleration and Judgment.
 It arose in Seville. The new mon arch, Henry III, feeble boy of Il. treated the matter with indifference. until 1t became too late to stem the wild current. On March Is, 1891. Mar tinez deliberately melted the mob to riot and violence against the Jews. The passion of the multitude had become in1amed and broke out in a wild up roar. The Jewish quarter was pillaged and many of its inhabitants met in- stant death. The Governor, unable to restrain the m b, sent messengers to the King for assistance. When the mill itary arrived the knights, nobles and the better classes of Christians took sides with the Jews in an effort to sup press mob violence. By their com bined efforts they succeeded in quelling the riots, but not until many Jews had been killed and much property footed or destroyed.
 Three months later, June 6, 1891, the rabble again attacked and set fire to the Jewish quarter, resuming it's holy massacre with increased fury. Of community of 1000 families, estimated at about 30,000 souls, 4000 were killed outright, women and children were sold into Mohamme Ian slavery and the rest permitted themselves to be baptized to escape death or a worse fate The syn agogues were converted into churches, and the once wealthy and important Jewish community of Seville was thing of the past.

and giving expression to their feelings or Joy over any advantage reported in favor of this country by their violent gesticulations, shaking of their bodies and the curses they utter against Spain, the "accursed, as they designate it. The intensity of that feeling can be un- derstood onI! by those who have learned through tradition and had inn planted in their youthful hearts a re- cltal of the atrocities inflicted upon their kin by the cruel, inhuman Span iard.
 After the destruction of the second temple. the fall of the Jewish empire, the children of Israel became dismem- bered, lost their nationality and went forth homeless wanderers among the savage tribes of Asia Minor, the north coast Of Africa and wherever they found foothold or temporary abiding place. Their natural trend was toward spain, where many thousands of their brethren had settled many years be- fore the destruction of the temple founded colonies and prospered in all their pursuits. Many thousands of the nomads. in course of time, reached the shores of Spain, where they found rest from their years of wandering. They brought some civilization with them had laws and maintained order. A thrifty, industrial peace-loving people, they prospered and gained in influence until they controlled the principal in- dustries of the land inhabited by an in dolent race. The sanitary and marriage laws which the Jews held sacred as God-given, divine institutions, were conducive of making theirs healthy sturdy race. In the knowledge of ag- rfcultural pursuits they Were in ad- vance of the Spanish primitive peasant, whom they naturally outstripped.
 To fully appreciate the intense hatred of Jews against Spain. which has been nursed and has surviv centuries, it Is necessary to know the history of the Jews in Spain, as it has been handed down through books and tradition from one generation to the other among the children of Israel The chapter opens in halo of glory. made more radiant by the sunshine of peace and pros perity, but closes with the recital of perfidy, tyranny. wholesale murder. pil- lage and rapine at the hands of in furiated mobs.
 The fancied security of the Jews in Spain was of short duration. Just as
