— —• ■ ~ -
Madrid August 15.-The com
meuh ol the press on the protocol
#rfia veritable funeral hymn on
the destruction of the Spanish
colonial empire.
Some dap ago the desire for
peace made the people close ih.ir
eyes lo the price, but now upon
reading the protocol, they realize
that the coat is the loss of that
empire which Spain had conquer
ed with no much glory and that
Spain now falls to tne second rank
among nations. The public mind
ia stunned and there is general
mourning-
General Blanco telegraphs that
Havant is greatly agitated by the
D ews of the signing of the proto
col and that much anxiiety is
manifested to learn the conditions
which have not yet been published.
Seine uneasiness is fit regard
ing tlw effect that the text of the
protocol may have on the Spanish
volunteers in Havana. Many news
papertexpress g’ief and despair
that the men who brought dieaster
on Siuin by lack of foresight, or
ganization and ability, should con
tinue to govern the country.
Toe governors genoral of Cuba
and Porto Rico have acknowledged
the receipt of the news of the sus
pension of hostilities between the
United States and Spain and an
nounced ths earn ing out of the
orders.
An order has been issued by the
captain general of Madrid suspend
ing the publication of the repub
lican newspaper Es Pais.
Reports from Havana that that
the bombardment of Manzanillo
lasted from 3 o’clock until 9 in the
eveningacd that attacks wets made
by the insurgents at various points.
During the engagements fifteen
Spaniards w-re killed The Ameri
can commander summoned the
town to surrender, giving the aut
horities three hours in which to
capitulate
El Epoca says:
" 1 he peace is the saddest impos
edsince the treaty of Utrecht, and
r.xpresses doubt “if a government
which has allowed itself lobe drag
ged into a war will acquit itself
well by uegoiiating | eace.”
Ei Pais today printed the text
01 the protocol signed by the Uni
ted States and Sp tin with mourn
t“g borders, and says:
kpain without colonies is re
duced to the rule of a third-rate
power.”
E 1 Imparcial says;
Peace will not bring to Spain
even the ra ß t she so much needs
after three years and a half of
war. ”
h-l Nociou says bitterly:
b Spain had at least been van
quished only after a furious and
J ll toic struggle she could resign
herself. p Hftce w , th tI)H United
• ,utt ' will only b e a momentary
f-epite trim our misfortune.”
b Lib.ra! says the artic'e in the
I/ relating to the Philippines
h "t indicate that anything
