Remembering the Hebrews in the newspaper "the Telegram of the Rif"

1904-1935 VI

... The fight began by the attack on two companies of the 2nd regiment of shooters who were in avant -garde, which answered the fire of the enemy, which was very intense.The fight was soon committed, the bulk of the column must be fired.

The Moroccans, hidden in the rocks, made deadly fire, but the rifle and artillery of the French legrad them from their positions with great losses.The French also had important, because in combat the commander Boumens of the 2nd of shooters died, who was shot in the belly, a French sergeant and eight shooters;Lieutenant Verger and 18 shooters were also injured.

06-1911.On the right of Muluya.Debdú's fight.New details of the committed action are known lately in the debdú area.A column, strong of 2,500 men and two mountain batteries, left that point to punish four little affections.Captain Backer, head of the Information Service, advances with a GUM, in order to seek contact with the indigenous people, but shot has to be retracted.The Moroccans leave women and children, and are arranged to deal with the column.

The batteries of General Leré open the fire on the weak houses that have been abandoned by their inhabitants, which, sliding through the weeds, trigger their rifles, making white in the infantry, which comes to be seen in a very compromising situation. Colonel Blanch sends two reinforcement companies, but the nature of the land makes it difficult to leave. Meanwhile, Moroccans moving with extreme mobility, harass Algerian shooters, who defend themselves bravely, waiting for relief. Commander Roumens, seeing the hurry of the situation, rises and encourages his men. He is injured in his belly, but hides it. He fears the effect to produce the news. For an hour, he is still in his place for horrible pain, giving evidence of heroism. Moroccans who manage to wrap two companies, increasingly narrow the circle. Then a brutal, titanic struggle is filed, in which the bodies are roaming. The bodies are disputed, which the enemy tries to strip; The injured are withdrawn, so that they do not fall into their possession; He dies killing. The late arrival of the relief, reduces the magnitude of the disaster, and prevents those who survive from being covered. Not being able to stay in position, he orders the general to withdraw, which is done by steps and with some precipitation. Finish the Moors, redouble their efforts and harass them with true fury. The artillery that protects the movement, contains in critical moments the Moroccan hordes, much higher in number to the force of the column.

It has been a bloody day, in which the French had very sensitive losses, including those of Commander Roumens, who died during the early morning of the next day.Those of the Moroccans were very numerous.The situation in Debdú is not very flattering, to such an extent, that it will not be difficult to order the reconcentration of the Leré brigade in the mered camp.

It is also stated that hostilities will cease on the right of Muluya, limiting the French to the occupation and defense of certain strategic points on the margins of the river, giving the operations over.

06-20-1911.The Hebrews of Melilla.Our dear colleague "The correspondence of Spain" deals with the request of the Spanish Israelites of Melilla made the government, when the trip of S. M. the king, of being equated in the right to the other Spaniards, as they are in duties.

And add the estimated partner:

“It is, in effect, it certainly anomalizes that those Spaniards who are always evidencesince they occupy the first place in commerce.

For this purpose, they delivered a message to Mr. Canalejas, in which they exposed their just pretensions, anticipating the president of the Council, which would do the request, which he considered so justice.

The Captain General and the Military Governor of Melilla, president of the Board of Arbitration, affirmatively reported the request, which passed to Madrid for its final resolution.

But, despite the time that has elapsed nothing has been resolved last on the matter, whose delay causes true feeling among those good Spanish, who are so precariously attended.

At the moment, the appropriate opinion would be of great political ability, since Spain, with generous and fair proceed, would win to its sympathies and causes the important Israelite colonies of the entire Moroccan territory, understood in our area of influence, since they are factorsso capitals in the social and economic development of Moroccan life.

In Morocco we have to develop a broad policy of tolerance and attraction, as from the Spanish squares it has been developing with great applause, with this imitating the skilled policy of France, by attracting with such interest the collaboration of the most important social element of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the lifeCheriff Empire.

Recordando a los hebreos en el diario “El Telegrama del Rif”

We hope you will want to resolve favorably, for whom it corresponds, so interesting, for which we make this excitement, because we consider it high convenience and skilled political.

On our own we have to add to what has already been said a thousand times.

Israelites Spanish enjoy analogous duties and rights that other citizens.The constitution of the State does not distinguish religion.It is thus attentive to the fundamental law of the country, that in Melilla an exception that never had reason to be.Our director heard from the president of the Council, that the request would be resolved favorably.And there is no right to doubt his words.

Now, what it needs is, that the Rémora of Official Procedures has a term, since we do not assume obeys strange pressures, to indefinitely delay its resolution.

07-07-1911.The Moors and Israelites.A real order.Our active telegraphic correspondent agency Mencheta told us in a timely manner that the Ministry of War had enshrined in real order the granting of political rights to Israelites and Muslims who enjoy the consideration of Spaniards.

When the request was made in this regard, we support it when finding it fair. Guest Our King D. Alfonso, a commission of Moors and Hebrews went to the real presence of him by making him the plea and this was followed by a promise from the government chaired by Mr. Canalejas. Today the offer already reality and the Board of Arbitration of Melilla, this admirable administrative corporation, will admit from now on in its bosom, to which until today they were separated from it by a regulatory prescription that disappears. In the Madrid press we find praise for the measure of General Luque that we refer, and that constitutes a work of justice, because if the Civil Code has as Spaniards those born in Spain and those who have won neighborhood in any town of The monarchy for the passage of time marked in the law, there was no reason for Melilla's naturalized to be compatriots with all its consequences and to be far from municipal life, as voters and as eligible.

01-12-1912.Attempt in Debdú.A dead French officer and two injured.On the afternoon of the nine of the current one they had news in Uxda that in the vicinity of Debdú, in a place that could be considered in the shelter of the military positions, the natives had given a blow of unfortunate consequences for some French officers.At first there were no details of what happened;But soon complementary news were received that confirmed the aggression.

On Sunday afternoon, Lieutenant Armingueat destined in the second regiment of Zuavos, who sent a section of machine guns affects that body, went hunting in the company of Lieutenant Materu, of the second regiment of the foreign legion, accompanying them a Zuavo ordinance,SURANIT SAURE

At first everything went well and the expeditionaries confident arrived in their running about three kilometers from Debdú.Suddenly, passing through a place where there was abundant vegetation, they were surprised by a rifle discharge, which Moors hidden behind the bushes made them very short distance.Lieutenant Armingueat fell to the dead ground, with a bullet in the belly and another in the neck.A projectile had seriously injured to Lieutenant Materu.

As for the ordinance, a thigh crossed by another bullet was.The injured were able to shoot against the aggressors killing one and hurting another.When Debdú's commander sent strength to collect the body of Lieutenant Armingueat, he saw that the Moors had stripped him of his rifle.It seems that the aggressors were five or six, and that their object was to seize the weapons of the hunters.The inquiries that have been made for Search have not given so far.

05-24-1912.Gratitude of the Israelites.Our readers have news that Spain came with a hurry in relief from the Israelites of Fez, victims of Muslim fanaticism in the course of sedition.Well, our illustrious representative in Tangier Mr. Marqués de Villasinda has just received an expressive thanks that sign numerous Hebrews from the Cherifian capital, for the assistance that on the occasion of the bloody events gave them the Spanish consular authority obeying the instructionsreceived.

That document, in which their signatories are enjoyed in the enumeration of the Mercedes received, bread, clothing, shelter and, what is even more worth, attention and personal considerations, it is testimony of the current of sympathy that unites the Israelites of MoroccoWith the Spaniards, of which the association that has just founded in Tangier is also evidence.

08-22-1912.The Israelite population of Morocco.The establishment of the protectorate in Morocco, has brought waves concerns to the resident Israelites, since the reform must affect them not little.Here is what the Secretary of the Israelite Alaza writes: “It is still ignored what legal regime must be applied to our Moroccan co -religionists;But anyway we have to ensure the error that the Israelites of Tunisia were victims, for which it has not been possible to cease to be submitted to the Muslim courts in those matters that are not of the exclusive jurisdiction of the Sabino Court orthat arise between Hebrews and Muslims.These courts have demonstrated in Tunisia that the Israelites cannot obtain absolutely impartial resolutions.

We hope that the French government will have when the reasoning that we expose, to place the Moroccan Israelites under an equitable and respectful regime with their rights.

There are other problems concerning the Israelite youth of Morocco that are under study and that demand a rapid solution.The instruction that occurs in our schools has so far suffered the needs of the students, of which a large part at the end of their studies emigra towards South America, where they already form important groups, plus the economic evolution of Morocco requires a modificationof the programs that respond to the new demands.

All our students cannot find out in commerce and it is necessary that we develop in the poor classes, above all, the practice of manual trades, whose learning has been until now difficult, for most of the professions inThe hands of Muslims who refuse to teach young Israelites.There is also another means of life.

It is known that a large number of Moroccan Israelites inside are dedicated to agriculture;When security is complete in the country, we will see the means of extending the taste to the practice of agriculture in territories where until now our co -religionists have not worked on the ground.Our Yeyidá agricultural farm, has some students from Morocco and they can undoubtedly tomorrow to use their forces and their agricultural skills in their country.Such with the aspirations that the Israelites expose for today and it is not necessary to doubt that they will have satisfaction from France and Spain in the areas of their action.

18-12 1912. Spanish Jews.The Balkanes War and the probable expulsion of the Turks of their last European domains, give current character to the old issue of the Spanish Jews domiciled in the East, descendants of those who were expelled from Spain in a time of religious and political concerns.

The Spanish Jews, refugees in Turkey, have remained faithful to the tradition and homeland of their ancestors, preserving pure, through the centuries, Castilian speech.Other groups of Spanish Jews would find in Europe, but none as characteristic, as important, as rich as the disseminated by the main cities of the Balkan peninsula.

Two cults retains the Spanish Jew away from the earth who saw him be his homeland: the cult of the religion of his elders and the language of his family.The Spanish Jew looks for his breed companions and meets them in coffee or in a private house, to give the pleasure of talking about the past, the present and the future of his race, using in full freedom theSpanish language.The greatest satisfaction is to give for those oriental cities with some authentic Spanish, because this offers us the opportunity to make sure if the language for him so loved is preserved pure among his as pure is perpetuated within the Jewish community the religion of the patriarchsand of the prophets.

Throwed from their adoptive homeland, subjects for four centuries to Turkish tyranny and Muslim hatred, plundered, martyred, often decimated by their relentless enemies, nor an iota have felt flawed their love for Spain, finding a point of comfort in the momentsof terror and danger of life, in the use of that harmonious language that reminded him of Andalusians and the august tranquility of our Latin sea.The Spanish Jews of the East, those three hundred thousand banished from their beloved homeland, threaten new and terrible misfortunes today.The spite of the defeat of the Turks will explode more or less soon, and Muslim hatred will fall violently on the helpless descendants of the banned race.

07-11-1913.The Israelites in the world.The total of Israelites in the five parts of the world rises to eight million individuals of which 500,000 live in Africa;750,000 in Asia and 200,000 in America.The 6,500,000 Europe facilitate 350,000 soldiers to armies, giving the highest proportion of recruits in Russia.

According to the official report of the Ministry of War, there are 191,000 Israelites in Russia in Russia.Throughout the Russian Empire, they are calculated at 3,650,000.

In Italy one of the most sympathetic bosses of the army was General Ottolentegui, the mosaic review and in the military bodies are enough Hebrew officers who have distinguished themselves in his career.In Austria-Hungary the proportion of Jewish soldiers is double that of others and in the Navy many Israelites also serve

17-11-1913.Anti -Semitic campaign.The "ritual murder, of the Jews."They communicate from St. Petersburg that the court constituted in Kieff to judge in the case followed against the Jew Beylis accused of ritual murder in the person of the young Andrés Justchiuski, has issued an acquittal sentence, after a verdict of acclaimability.When the defendant knew that he had been acquitted, he collapsed in his arms.The deliberation of the judges was very long.Beylis was released.The solution of this interesting criminal case intended all the Jews of the world, and the sentence issued by the Kieff Court is extraordinary interest as soon as the secular accusation that the legend of the ritual murders towards weighing on the semi -race is fading forever.

So much importance had covered this process throughout the world, which did not have been held in London for many days, in Trafalgar Square, a manifestation of Jews, to express their outrage on the occasion of the accusations that are directed to their religion, on the occasion of thisprocess, whose background will explain.

Background of the process.In Russia, the vexed and oppressed Jews live, forced notand mainly to steal and loot their stores and stores.

One of the crimes that the Russian accuses the Jews is that he was so much in the Middle Ages, the ritual crime, that is, the murder of Christian children to use their blood in the fulfillment of a certain religious ceremony.

The current process has its origin, on March 12, 1911, the eleven -year -old boy Andrés Justchiuski, of humble family, disappeared from Kieff.

He had left to go to school, and did not seem until after five days, that his body was found on the outskirts of the population.He had 45 wounds, made, apparently, or at least, with a lezna.He was accused, in the first place, the child's grandfather, who was a subject of bad background, and that he had to collect some amount in case of the child's death.Suppos after the boy Andrés belonged to a band of scammers, directed by a woman named Vera, wife of a postal employee, and it was added that a brother of this one, who had knowledge of surgery, had killed Andrés for having denouncedYour bandmates ...
