ious to repair the great crime of their
ancestors, which they felt was the
blacklist in their history.
The chief rabbi replied that he was
deeply touched by the action of the
minister and that the fresh advances
made by him could not fail to produce
an excellent impression on the Jews OF
the east
Before leaving the chief rabbi the
Spanish minister invited him to pay a
visit in his company to the Spanish
cruiser, Rena Regente, which was an
chored in the port NJ. Nahoum ac-
cepted the invitation. AS he boarded
the vessel the officers and men in full
uniform presented arms and ranged
themselves around the chief rabbi. The
Spanish minister thereupon addressed
the men as follows:
Il have the honor to introduce to
you the venerated and esteemed chief
of all the Jews in Turkey, your own
fellow citizens. whose ancestors were
unjustly and cruelty driven from Spain.
1t Is to this venerable chief that the
government of his majesty the king,
as well as his people, is addressing
Its desire to repair the injustice Of
which we feel we are still experiencing
the bitter consequences"
He added that the occasion was
doubtless the first for almost five cen
turtles that the head of the Jews in
the east had set foot upon a Spanish
warship.
The commander of the cruiser enter
tanned the chief rabbi at tea and there
after conducted him through every part
Of the vessel. Upon leaving the ship
NJ. Nahoum was honored in the same
way as when he had first boarded IT.,
and the Marquis de Nantouillet inform
Jewish families would visit the cruiser,
for which purpose he placed steam
launches at their disposal.
The Spanish minister stated that N
the event of Saloniki's being detached
from Turkey his government would re-
gard very favorably the return en- bloc
of all the Jews in that city who were
OF Spanish descent The Spanish gov
eminent, he stated, was willing to
open at its expense Jewish schools In
Saloniki or the hinterland. where in
struction would be given In Spanish,
the knowledge OF which would facili-
tate commercial relations with Spain
and all other countries where that Ian
guage Is spoken. and he declared that
French or any other foreign language
above all. Hebrews-could be taught in
those schools.
