He Takes the Position That It Is a Most Cruel end Unjust Charge. A large audience assembled last even ing in the Jewish synagogue on Jeffer son street to listen to a lecturedelivered by Rabbi Wertheimer. The topic chosen was "Jesus Crucilied by the Jews," be ing an answer to a sermon delivered in a pulpit of one of the Christian churches of Dayton, under the same title. lie said that on a beautiful Easter Sunday morning, just four years ago yesterday, while walking on the streets of Dayton he met vast crowds of re ligious people on their wav to church.

Almost instiuctivcly he followed one such throng, and soon found himself seated in cum of the largest and most beautiful of Dayton's churches. The dav was all that could be desired. Ou every side the glorious sun shone, the church decorations were beautilul with lilies and the choicest flowers, a special program' of music was rendered by the choir, and he drank this all in with a great deal of pleasure. But presently while in the enjoyment of the services the pastor arose and announced his text. It was, "Jesus Crucilied by the Jews." From that moment his delight in the services ceased, those words rang in his ears, as they have thousands of times since.

It was his purpose this evening to answer this text, anil to give a few of the many reasons why the charge that Jesus had been crucified by the Jews was most cruel and unjust; how all the blame for this awful pathetic and political murder had been heaped upon the Jews by the really guilty ones. lie cited iaws and authorities in justification of the claim that it was not possible nor reasonable for the Jews to committed the crime attributed to them. It was on tlie Passover Day specialty sacred to the Jew, and one ou hich every one is drawn closer to his fellow Jew, and the most unreasonable time to suppose that the Jews had; tritrd and condemned to death Jesus, a Jew. The Rabbi declared that the Jews never had a hand in the conviction or the cnuifixion. It was not possible, for they themselves were oppressed at the time and without authority.

Jesus entered Jerusalem as King of the Jews. This was a crime a-jraii st Itome ami this was why he was mardo-ed and hy his cruel murder had been rhnrged to the Jews. It had been committed by the lionmns-umler 1'ontius Pilate ami nil other assertions; were unreasonable and a myth. He referred to unkind treatment accorded the children of Jews rodav in our public schoois bv the children of Christians, who call them "Christ Kill ers, and other cruel and unjust mimes, lie thought that on this line an excellent opportunity was offered for much good missionary work by the M. C.

the W. C. A.T and like organizations. It was most cruel to be constantly called murderers, thechildren of a people always noted for their kindness ainl forbearance. He defied any one to show where-anv moral or Christian people had ever been cursed or punished by the Jews as the Jews had av others, lie said it would be most unfair to hold the Catholics of today responsible for the crimes of their ancestors of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.

The discourse was a most able one, ami attracted the. closest attention. from his audience, composed of many Christians as well as Jews. His refutations of the charges against th'j Jews were in the most kindly spirit and made him many friends by their lack of resentment and a desire to place tlie blame as viewed by the Jews of wrong or mistaken teachings upon the really responsible parties, and not upon the Catholic or Christian of today. The majority of mortals rely upon others thoughts and ideas.

Price s. ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH. Grand Faster Celebration of the Sunday School Iast Night. The children of St.

Andrew's Sunday School had a delightful Easter celebration last night. It was the last service of the retiring rector, Rev. Dwight'S, Martield, and cluldren and friends were anxious to make the occasion one never to be forgotten. They succeeded. The church was crowded, lirge numbers were turned away, as aisles can only hold a certain number of chairs.

The vested choir marched in procession around the church, and after a short service the children were the important ones in the service. At the word from the rector each class sent forward representatives to present the Lenten offering and flowers with which to cover a massive cross. The little ones spoke beautifully the verses expressive of Easter truths. When all was done the lovely floral cross was raised aloft, and choir and congregation united with one impulse in that grand old hymn, "In the cross of Christ I Glory." There was a stirring address bv Mr. Martield.

lie gave the school a life text in the words "Endure Hardness as Good Soldiers of Jesus Christ. Friends and parents and children crowded around -ihe cross at the conclusion of the ser vice to pluck some flower to carry away as aTmeuiorial of the service. It wiil never be forgotten, and the children will look forward to many like it. Fatal Sal vat loniitt Row. St.

CalUJa Jnbllaut Over tha Dafaat of tha Kabala ItMcrtptloa of Itattle. IIavana, April 15. Cuba' cause is lost, Gen. Crombet is killed and Gen. Macco is captured.

On the bat- tleheld of Palmarito are buried the dearest hope's" of Cuban leaders, and the the Antilles is still fet tered by the chains of Spauish domina tion. In a desperate conflict at Palmarito Saturday the Spaniards defeated the insurgent forces. Crombet was not only killed but his body was mutilated by sword thrusts of the vindictive Spaniards, who spat upon him after he was dead. Without the two leaders. Crombet and Maceo, the Cuban revolution dwindles to merely a filibustering expedi tien.

CaoiDos serrices will not be needed. The rebels whom he came to conquer are rebels no longer. Tlie spirit of liberty lied from this tyrant- ridden land when Crombet died and Maceo was put in chains. Everything seems to indicate that the war is ended. Reports from the scene of bat tle aro meaner, but enough is known to show that the patriots' cause is lost forever.

Spanish authorities, as soon as the news was received, hastened to post it on their bulletins, and royalists in Havana celebrated Sunday night the ending of the revolution. There will, of course, be some filibustering parties, but without. Crombet and without Maceo there can be uo real war. The Cuban armv met the Spaniards at Palmarito. The rebel forces amounted to little more than 2,000 men.

while that of the Spaniards was about 3.000. A desperate battle followed. Tlie fiphtinp, according- to ofliciul reports, lasted about two hours, and at the end of that time the rebels retreated. They were pursued by the Spanish troops and Macco was captured. Ilis secretary was also taken, and all the personal and private papers of (len.

Maceo were confiscated. Flor Crombet, Maeeo's chief adviser. was killed on the battlefield. It was he who was chiefly instrumental in organizing1 the provisional government at Guatanaro, Marti, the president of that government, is said to have fled to the United States. The battle at Palmarito, which is the last conflict of any consequence which will take place during this revolution, waa ona iu which, the insurgents foupht desperately against odds.

The Spanish soldiers were disciplined and resisted with remarkable courage the onslaughts of the rebels. Maceo and his army had been in the mountains, and their scouts were on the lookout for the Spaniards. It is supposed that the number of soldiers was underestimated by these emissaries. The rebels rushed down the mountain side and endeavored to engage the troops in a hand to hand conflict. Spain's regulars waited until the insurgent army was close at hand and then poured in their volley with deadly effect.

A number of Cuban officers, one of whom was a colonel, were killed. Maceo was a leader of the rebel forces with Gomez during- the last revolution. Though but a youth he achieved considerable distinction. At the outbreak ot revolution Maceo landed at Puerto de Rarancoa, March 31. With him were the following officers of the new rebel army: Brig.

-Gen. Flor Crombet. Gen. Jose Maceo, Col. Angustia Celreco, Col.

Patrice Corona, Frank Agramonte, Pedro Duverger and Jose Marti. Capt-Gen. Calleja, when I called on him at the palace Sunday evening, said that he had received the official news that Crombet had been killed and that Maceo had been captured. He added that the Spanish had only lost a few soldiers, while that of the insurgents was heavy in the extreme. He said: "Tell the Americans that when they know that the Spanish authorities on this island have pnt down the revolution themselves they will see that they have greatly exaggerated the revolutionary sentiment which prevailed in Cuba." The war seems to be practically ended.

There mav be a few filibuster ing parties, but so far as a real and sincere struggle for liberty is concerned, all is over. Consul General Williams is making preparations to leave the island soon, and Vice Consul Springer will assume the duties of the office at once. The damage dono by fire at Matanzas is now estimated to be more The government authorities accuse the revolutionists of setting fire to the buildings. A ONE-SIDED AFFAIR. The Insurgents AVere Greatly Out- Numbered.

General Maeeo's Ks- cape. New York, April 15. The Herald's Havana, Cuba, special says: "General MaximoGomez, the long-expected rebel leader, has at last arrived in Santiago de Cuba from San Domingo. It is understood that Jose Marti is also with Gomez. News from the interior is unimportant.

The insurgents appear to be waiting to see what Marshal Marti nez Campos will do when he lands. He sailed Sunday from Porto Ilico on his way here. It is rumored that General Jose Maceo has been captured, but the report has not been conhrmed, although at last accounts he was very hard pressed by detachments from the forces which defeated the insurgents at Palmarito on Tuesday." The Herald's Santiago de Cuba despatch says: "The battle in. which General Jose Maeeo's expedition was defeated at Palmarito last week was a one-sided affair, as the insurgents were greatly out-numbered. Maceo cut his way out of the tight and tied to join Perez.

The Span- Another Insurgent Defeat. Havaxna, April 15. (From the staff correspondent of the United Press.)
