Madrid Papers Make Un
ramble Coniine, B.
LURKING ORDERS
Governors General Have Ceas
ed Hostilities.
Madrid August 15.—The com
ments of tire press on the protocol
are a veritable funeral hymn on
the destruction of the Spanish
colonial empire.
Some days ago the desire for
peace made the people close th>i
eyes to the price, but now upon
reading the protocol, they realize
that the cost is the loss of that
empire which Spain had conquer
ed with so much glory and that
Spain now falls to tne second rank
among nations. The public mind
is stunned and there is general
mourning*
General Blanco telegraphs that
Havant is greatly agitated by the
news of the signing of the proto
col and that much anxiietv is .
manifested to learn the conditions
which have not yet been published.
Some uneasiness is f It regard
ing the effect that the text of the
protocol may have ot. the Spanish
volunteers in Havana. Many n“ws
papert express g ief and desp iir
that the men who brought disaster
on Slain by lack of foresigh’, o - -
ganization and am lily, should con
tinue to govern the country.
The governors general 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 the carrying out of the
orders.
An order has been issued by the
captain general of Madrid suspend
ing the publication of the repub
lican newspaper Ei Pais.
Reports from Havana that that
the bombardment of Manzanillo
lasted from 3 o’clock until 9 in the
evening and that attacks were made
by the insurgents at various points.
During the engagements fifteen
Spaniards were killed. The Ameri
can commander summoned the
town to surrender, giving the aut
horities three hours in which to
capitulate
El Epoca says:
“The peace is the saddest impos
ed since the treaty ot Utrecht, and
expresses doubt “if a government
which has allowed itself lobe drag
ged into a war will acquit itself
well by negotiating | eace.”
El Pais today printed the text
of the protocol signed by the Uni
ted States and Spun with mourn
ing borders, and says:
“Spain without colonies is re
duced to the rule of a third-rate
power.”
J*NI Imparcial says:
“Peace will not bring to Spain
even the rest she so much needs
after three years and a half of
war. ”
El Nocion says bitterly:
“If Spain had at least been van
quished only after a furious and
heroic struggle she could resign
herself. Peace with the United
States will only be a momentary
respite fr >m our misfortune.”
El Libera' says the artie'e in the
protocol relating to the Philippines
does not indicate that anything
good for Spain will be fixed npot
and the question will not be settle
ed favorably for her.
El Globo (ministerial) pines for
peace betwsen Spain and the Uni
ted States and says the communi
cation on eastern ques’iotis which
Day and Gambon have signed be
gin the first Chapter in a new his
tory of Europe.
El Timipo (conservative) says:
“Peace is an accomplished fact
The bitterness of deieat does not
prevent us from seeing with satis
action the e*'d of th® war.”
